ChicagoVPS spamming (again)

NyrNyr Community Contributor, Veteran

Do you guys remember the last time @CVPS_Chris told us that spamming addresses of people which never had been CVPS customers was an error and a one time thing?

Well, looks like the spamming is still going on no matter if unethical as long as it is profitable because I have just gotten some more...

I am just hoping for Chris to get here again and tell just it has just been an honest mistake and this will not happen again because that's not how they do business.

  • You hope for the wrong things. He's a crook, and we all know that.

    Send it straight to your email provider (Gmail)'s support and mention that it's unsolicited spam. They'll start dropping their mail pretty quickly.

    No idea, it's actually difficult to keep up with all the changes of ownership on CC companies.

  • Sue them for $500m? Or just use aliases. :>

    Please pm me your emails and I'll make sure you get removed.

    Doesn't seem to be working, what a surprise!

  • Had this too. A bit odd, because Chris definitely manually removed me at least once in the past, looks like they've reverted to an old mailing list?

    How did they get your email address if you are not your customer as you said?
    That's strange.

    They bought a host that I had servers with.

    It really reminds me the GVH case.
    They used to spam their old/inactive customers even after they sold their company to Hostress.

    I've removed everyone who PM'd me. Very sorry for the inconvenience caused.

  • How long before ColoCrossing's anti spam solution starts dropping mails from ColoCrossing?

    @nyr I also removed you as well just for safe measure.

    Got this spam too unsubscribe link didn't seem to work but I got a confirmation a bit later. Next time I'm marking it as spam.

    You seem so eager yet my PM is still sat there with no reply regarding a notorious spammer on your network. Stop acting like you're interested in clearing your filthy network up :)

    I have clicked the unsubscribe link twice (that worked)before, and followed the old 'reply with unsubscribe' instructions about 3 times before that, they still come anyway.

    Just tick the box not to send it to people that have opted out, its not hard, its absolutely basic, I appreciate mistakes are made but this is the 5th or 6th time, its either a rank armature doing this, or someone who does not give a shit, personally I am leaning towards the second option.

    You should NEVER have to pm an email address on a forum to be removed, and if it comes to that it should never fail, yet that has failed too as above.

  • yep, I hadn't unsubscribed before the last one, so I unsubscribed after it, but I still got this junk today

  • jbilohjbiloh Administrator, Veteran

    Send me over a PM and I'll look at it personally. Thanks @hostnoob and @anthonysmith

    The unsubscribe button never works =/ just like the last times it just sends you to the ChicagoVPS homepage with no confirmation or anything

  • jbilohjbiloh Administrator, Veteran

    @sin please PM me your email and I'll make sure you are permanently removed :)

    Why don't you stop wasting your time with PM's and fix your unsubscribe URL, it's really not hard at all.
