mirror70 Posted May 23, 2006 Report Share Posted May 23, 2006 I've just started getting spam to my dedicated USASA email address. Since I haven't been a member for two seasons, this is a little funny. Did they start putting our email addresses up on the web or something?

Sinecure Posted May 23, 2006 Report Share Posted May 23, 2006 What kind of spam? Its hard to say since I get plenty of spam and use the same addy for USASA as for some other stuff. I have noticed a few spams getting through recently that are those stupid investment scam things. I hadn't received many until the last week or so, when a few have started getting into my inbox.

mirror70 Posted May 23, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2006 What kind of spam? I didn't check. I just noticed it in my USASA mailbox. Unfortunately, I just sent the machine that the messages are on to Apple, so I won't have headers to post until Fri, possibly Mon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skatha Posted May 23, 2006 Report Share Posted May 23, 2006 Before you get mad, know that USASA may have just provided your email addresses to a product distributor or gear vendor who, in turn, sold those emails to someone else, who then sold it to somebody else, and so on..... I get so much junk snail- and e-mail because I'm a MD. The TSMBE didn't let those condo salesmen know, but somewhere down the line, a harmless distribution turned into a spam magnet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I didn't authorize the sharing or sale of my email address, nor have I ever gotten a non-spam non-USASA email to this address, so I'm not really sure why they have started coming in. I get so much junk snail- and e-mail because I'm a MD. The TSMBE didn't let those condo salesmen know, but somewhere down the line, a harmless distribution turned into a spam magnet I get ~150 junk emails every day. No snail spam outside of CC offers though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philfell Posted May 23, 2006 Report Share Posted May 23, 2006 Yeah, I have a private email that I only use for coaching related things. About a week ago I've been getting a ton of crap that I've never gotten before. Most of the stuff seems to be trying to help me refinance my house (which I rent) or bail out my credit, with the occasional penis enlargement thrown in for good measure.

ncermak Posted May 24, 2006 Report Share Posted May 24, 2006 :lol: with the occasional penis enlargement thrown in for good measure. kinda makes me happy that I just get ones offering "great investment opportunities" I guess some guys can snowboard well...and others have big @#$%s!!!

skatha Posted May 24, 2006 Report Share Posted May 24, 2006 My least fav form of junk mail is all those complimentary magazines I supposed to display in the waiting room I don't have anymore. The Golf/Golf Digests go to my next door neighbor I read the Time/Newsweek/US World Reports... The AARP/Good Housekeeping/McCall/Redbook/Seventeen go straight to the recycle heap... Add the JAMA/Southern Med Society/National Med Society/Lancets/Journal of the AAFP/Pediatric ID/Internal Medicine News/Med Consults/Cleveland Clinic Rounds/ad nauseam....I lose real mail I need-like bills..... Usually junk email is still the secondary receipient of your email address, who didn't sign that nondispersal clause with you about selling your email, hence the 6-12 month delay in getting on these lists... In my case, the FDA releases my email to the drug companies for product warnings and then Pfizer sells that to another vendor who, in turn, sells it to Suzy's House of Penis Enlargement Devices..and then the spam appears Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mirror70 Posted May 24, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2006 So, Skatha, in your professional opinion.... ...will those pills work? Or do I need to follow up my chocolate desserts with a special alcoholic beverage? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skatha Posted May 25, 2006 Report Share Posted May 25, 2006 So, Skatha, in your professional opinion.......will those pills work? Or do I need to follow up my chocolate desserts with a special alcoholic beverage? Which pills? Viagra works, but I'm sure our virile riding brothers don't need it... Enlargement pills? Well, I'm a big believer in technique... Size does matter, but 90% of the guys on the planet are the right size.... There is too big, you know...... If you drop your pants and you remind people of giving birth, you are too big... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
