    Same, but I deleted the email after reading the highlighted, bold “24 hour Flash deal” phrase. At least they highlighted them so that I can know it was f**king spam.

    I normally request that users give respect to providers, but I’m willing to let that slide.

    I just got the email as well. I’ve since reported their IP to SpamHaus in protest of their clickbait emails.

    I'm not aware of click bait being a blacklistable offense (it can be argued that wasn't even click bait). It's email, not a website. If you don't like the content, unsubscribe. If they fail to unsubscribe you, then report them.

    Hey guys! Look!

    This guy thinks you can unsubscribe from anything related to colocrossing!

  • The unsubscribe link only tells the sender that the target is alive and valid.

  • What even is that sketchy-looking domain they're sending the newsletters from? servicewebconnect.com?

    What's worse is that earlier, I used another email address on LET, which I changed nearly a year ago, and these emails from CC are sent to both addresses!

    I never subscribed to their marketing e-mails in the first place, yet they still send them.

    You know what we call that? Spam.

    @TimboJones I never consented to receiving their junk.

    Also, the unsubscribe link is (for all intensive purposes) broken. I ended up having to use Google’s unsubscribe feature but I started getting them again recently.

    Just flag them. Most of CC's IP space is prefiltered anyhow.

    I wonder if they mailed everyone not received mines yet can't wait for some ColoCrossing spam.

    Don't jinx it. Or check your spam folder.

    Feeling left out of the party I see.

    Nah... Nothing in spam too. Maybe gmail heard my hate for them and discarded for me ;)

  • I didn't get this email, lucky me. But I see that I have 500+ pieces of ordinary spam to my LET address in my spam folder. I never noticed that before because of spam filtering. Lol.

    are they using email addresses from LET? i don't recall ever signing up for LEB newsletters. at least it arrived in my spambox, that's something.

    Yes, they are, according to the footer of the e-mail.

    Which is of course in violation of the GDPR, but I doubt that ColoCrossing gives a shit about that, given their shady dealings in the past.

    lol, thanks. i didnt actually read it, just shook my fist at the alarmist subject.

    The new logo looks awful :( I could design it better.

    CC if you're reading this, I charge $666 per logo.

    Thanked by 1Nate812
  • It's not so much a logo as a font.

    From 2001.

    Like CC's technology.

    suitable.

  • Utterly inexcusable behavior. Will definitely be going out of my way to not buy from ColoCrossing in the future thanks to this little stunt.

  • Was there a newsletter optiom in LET? I just noticed this, and I'm pretty sure this wasn't here the last time I came to LET. Does this have something to do with this thread?

    Was just added.

    They're actively skinning it since it didn't have any CSS on it 10 minutes ago.

    Am I blind or did this newsletter box just get added to LET in the past 24 hours?

    It was just added to the right sidebar, I noticed it about 10 minutes ago. Perhaps the next thing would be check with your email, if it exists then show unsubscribe button.

  • Just entered my email address (this one was made to recieve spam only), and nothing came (no confirmation, nothing). Or was MXroute smart enough to discard it in the server level?

  • What the fuck?

    Lmao this is a new low

    I wish they can do this too:

  • armandorgarmandorg Member, Host Rep

    Just put some temp emails on all colocrossing platforms / resellers and sleep better at nights.

  • Maybe put [email protected] there? Spam + Spam = SPAM?
