Why is Braincash Spamming Me?
 

Or why did they sell my email adress to spammers.
When I signup for a program I usually use [email protected]

so when I recieve spam like this:

..to my braincash@domainname email it really makes me wonder why they would risk losing clients over that?

woah, that is kind of fucked....

and to make the irony oh so nice, it is for a password trading forum...

This is not their style. At all.

i got like so many of those emails in the past week to various emails. There db might have been hacked or whatever. No clue just guessing

btw the emails werent from braincash specific email addys

sucks.. got this spam mail 10x already

of course not... [email protected] or something :)

Its fake headers.

I got 2 last week, one was comming from phatservers other from oxeo.

nah imeant i didnt use a specific addy to signup for braincash

But how did they find the email [email protected] ?

BTW I got this email already 40 times as well...

Hacked affiliate DB?
Hakced vb DB?
Harvested?

i have no idea.

I hope that somebody from over there answers this question they might have a big security breach

well... all I know is that I didn't post the email adress I used when signing up with them on any website and I find it hard to believe that spammers randomly sent out an email to [email protected]

This is like the matrixcontent / acacia thing back in the day... anyone remember :)
this looks like they either spammed themselves, sold the list or got em stolen... someone of that.. or is there another option?

Maybe some smartass Spammer just made himself a list out of popular domain names combined with popular affiliate programs, f.e. not only [email protected] but also [email protected], [email protected] etc.??

Would be a task of just a few minutes and it's already well known that many webmasters use that kind of unique emails.

Its very easy to get tons of private/unpublished emails with the right tools and without hacking.

doesnt make sense why they would target webmasters though. They got hacked
:1orglaugh

Maybe revenge?

Spammer spammed Braincashs Sites, got his Account deleted and now as revenge he tries to damage the reputation of Braincash by sending out emails to [email protected], or something like that.

Spam are not coming from us no worries.
Also received the spam but since I got tons per day, I didn't really noticed.
I will check this issue more in details Btw you can always contact me on icq 30975654 about any issue instead of posting it :)

I knew Mr. Fred would be on this..... BC doesn't spam. Never has and never will I wouldn't imagine. By the way..... see sig for BC info!
Thanks Fred!

I set up my affiliate e-mails as [email protected] and there is no way that a spammer is going to figure it out. I always add random numbers.
I am getting spam dumped into my braincash e-mail account too. They are either selling the e-mails (doubtful), a database got hacked (most likely), or an employee grabbed them.
Do you notice this all happened during the MPA - NATS rollover?

But the clueless idiot sheep will continue to say they didn't do it, NO WAY, BRAINCASH IS CLEAN! Yeah right! :1orglaugh

well I wanted to post this to get a 3rd and neutral opinion... the chance that some spammer randomly sends out and email with [email protected] to spam is VERY VERY unlikely. The domain I used for the email has only 2 inbound links, a PR1 does not recieve and traffic and recieved 2 spam mails a month max...
I really want to know what is going on... I am really sure (in case you did not send the mail) that someone got access to your data. I hope that you understand that just because you got the same spam doesn't make me feel better...

looking forward to your info.

I do the same thing when I sign up for programs.

I was getting a bunch to the Sextronix email I used to sign up with them.

I sent them an email with questions and they haven't responded, BUT the emails have stopped... :error

The email I received was for penis pills 'super viagra' with links to medztabz.biz and upower.info

btw, they screwed up their links with medztabz.biz as that dom is available..

WE GOT HACKED !!

Doesn't make sense to spam our webmasters with paysite... ç
It's possible that we had a security issue but us spamming webmaster to make money make no sense....

We are currently looking at the situation. If you got questions, hit me up on icq. I 'm always there to answer any problems 30975654

This shit annoys me too. I've got a list of programs that I get spammed from pretty much daily. Maybe I should actually start talking to some of these people.

You're better off posting it on this board, now that the forum has been made aware. :2 cents:
