Really GasSavers.org? Really?

[JV-Tuga]

This is what happened to me thanks to gassavers.org selling my e-mail, along with yours, I bet. Un/fortunately this is a good forum where I intend to return so here is what I suggest...If you don't want your e-mail account to be bombarded with this sort of crap you should switch your registration e-mail frequently so it will be outdated often and the people they sell it to will only find a dead end:

I can tell you, as an administrator on this site, we do not sell email addresses. What makes you think they got your address from us?

[ben98gs]

Yeah, I see nothing in there to even imply that it came from here, but I did just skim the email. Why not bold the area (or change the font color) of the part that makes you think it was from here.

[theholycow]

I use a different address for every website I ever put an email address into. I use services like spamgourmet.com that allow me to create disposable (or permanent) addresses on the fly. I did when I first signed up here.

Doing so allows me to be sure of what site sold/failed to secure my data. I can assure you that as long as I've been a member, I have not received any spam to the address I used.

I recommend switching to unique disposable addresses. It works very well.

[Jay2TheRescue]

One thing is for sure, if we did sell our list, we'd have enough money to make the improvements to the site I'd like to do.

[theholycow]

LOL, good point.

I'd never vote yes on that proposal, and I'm sure it would never come up anyway. If anything ever happened it would have to be a security breach. This place is pretty tight.

[Jay2TheRescue]

I just checked the control panel log. The last time a mailing list was generated was 03:20AM, 7th Oct 2006, about 2 years before you had joined the site. It is impossible for any list that was generated from this site's users to have contained your email address.

[GasSavers_GasUser]

I never got anything like that............not that I want it......just sayin.

I did the same. That e-mail was linked to this site and no, I never received anything like that before from this site or related to this site/e-mail.


I'll give you the benefit of the doubt. Maybe I recycled the e-mail and forgot to make a note of it (pretty unlikely but possible), in which case I hope you'll accept my apology. Just to be on the safe side I switched to a different e-mail.

[theholycow]

If you get any more, be sure to let us know. We may want the full headers from the email so we can try to find out what happened.
