Yeah, well how is it different when someone send you: penis enlargement ads, viagra offers, fake rolex offers, porn sites spam etc etc. ? All these people think they are emailing "business" deals too.

They are pushing their own product without me requesting it. I don't want to go thru my business emails and stumble on their spam in between.

by the way we do

Yeah it came from Leo Ferrara <[email protected]>

Anyway. Appology accepted.

You're making a mistake canning a guy for trying to drum up business the old fashioned way. Shit, this is how business is supposed to be done man. (Understandable if they are putting your info instead of theirs)

I received an email like this a very long time ago, sent it back and stated that I was already an affiliate. In that note I asked when they were going to use SSL in their checkout.
Now they have SSL and I have been trying to use them more. I use to receive quite a few checks from them, and am looking forward to getting more again. Although, I do wish they would have let me know when they installed it! :)

As far as the email being SPAM, I like this kind of SPAM. Real contact info, real reply address, real money making opportunity.

Fuck this kind of business. It's like stupid "program representatives" bugging the fuck out of you on ICQ for your traffic.

What if all programs started doing that? How would you like dozens of such "business offers" in your email?

If you ever have another problem with us let's settle it privately...this was something very simple to resolve and word of mouth is a powerful tool..threads like this can hurt people's business

Ric is good people, cut him some slack. He's canning the spammer account, so maybe that makes the crowd happy.

It's going to take much more than this to hurt your [Mallcom] reputation and credibility. :2 cents:

Definetly. And Mallcom is an awesome company, hands down.

Here's an analogy you might understand.

Mailing ads for retard helmets to millions of people at random = spam.

Mailin an ad for retard helmets to you = targetted marketing.

Unlike you I owned several offline businesses before moving online and have dealt with it on a daily basis for almost a decade. This is REAL business, not some chump with a tgp on a donated domain name.

No I don't have any other problems.

I just got very mad at getting unwanted mail in the mailbox that I went out of my way to protect. I get lots of spam to the throwaway emails (like the ones used to signup for affiliate programs) an I usually disregard it. But getting unsolicited letters to this private mailbox set me off.

This "tgp on a donated domain name" makes more money than all your offline businesses combined. So for me, it's pretty fucking REAL too.

A) Delete it and move on
B) See if there is an "Unsubscribe Option"
C) Contact Mallcom to get it resolved
and then if none of them work
D) Bring it to the boards.

Looks like you decided to do shit ass backwards.

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

Brilliant logic, Quasimodo.

The mail header info (reply address) sounds like it was forged (in violation of the CAN-SPAM act), the contact info was not the sender's, there was no opt-out provision, and that message sounds to me like a mass-mailed form letter, not a single message a person typed to one recipient.

Chadglni, while I'd agree that well-targetted spam is less objectionable than untargetted spam, I don't think the CAN-SPAM distinguishes between the two.

Rob - Betsy - Steve and everybody else that has our back thanks thats greatly appreciated ;)
We're happy you picked us to do business with and lets continue making $

R

Yeah, 700 PPS signups / month is so funny.


GO GET MY COAT BITCH.

If someone's going to pretend to be me, they could atleast spell my name right ;)

I've read on CAN-SPAM, I'm just saying it's a shitty thing to be complaining about. You get 500 letters in your mailbox when you register a corporation, these internet kids just know fuck all about doing real business. Phone calls, mail, and even email are the norm.

Yeah, well here's some more info if you want to look into it:

Amazing, that's like a billion dollars in your homeland huh? $21,000 USD or so? :1orglaugh

Thats like, 100% more than whatever you're making, moose-fucker.

I agree with you ... looks like a rep just emailing to offer biz . i thought it was going to be a buy this DVD mail ... but a "checkout our services" is not a big deal ... your in the biz and they offer a product for your biz .. if i got it 20 times then I'd contact them ...

the guys at mallcom are great and I've always done well with them in the past .. :thumbsup

I was clearing that at 17. Try again.

Sure you were.
Now go clean the shit hole. Your break is over.

where do i send the bill for my water covered keyboard that was fuckin funny :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

Apparently they are "top notch". So everything is cleared up.
