Bigpockets.co.uk a spammer?
Just wondering, is it just me, or Bigpockets.co.uk just don't deal with
any unsubscribe request whatsoever? I have tried emailing the unsubscribe address at least 3 times, and they still keep sending emails to me twice a week. They are starting to really annoy me now. Anything I can do? Any suggestion? Thanks. Edward |

Anything I can do? Any suggestion? Use something like mailwasher and add the entire domain to the blacklist, so they`re deleted without you downloading them ? |

Firstly - block their Email addy Then - sign them up to a few "interesting" sites g And if your really in an evil mood ..... have their Email address in your NG posting sig for a few weeks. You could also send an Email to their sales department stating that as they insist on lowering themselves to spamming techniques you'll be taking your business to one of the many online vendors who will welcome your custom. |

My preferred solution involves a small amount of VBA programming. With that, you can get Outlook to send them an email every 2 seconds until they stop spamming you. Of course, they may be unhappy on Monday morning when they find they have 100,000 emails from you, and they may contact your ISP and complain that YOU are spamming THEM. This is of course completely untrue, as you are simply sending an email to an address they have specified for the very purpose they have specified, but your ISP may unfortunately see it differently from you...... Or you can just right-click on their latest email, click junk sender, etc. My preferred solution is much more exciting. Please let me know if you want the VBA code. Geoff |

When they first started, they harvested the DVD Forums. This didn't make them very popular around there. They have since claimed to correct themselves, but this doesn't always hold with computer companies. I'd still rather deal with SVP. Now they really get on my nerves... I finally got a reply from them... -- extract from the email Hi, If you require to be removed from our mailing list please use the unsubscribe option at the bottom of the mail. Kind Regards Oliver Shields Customer Service Manager Please include this mail when replying -- end extract from the email it seems like they just don't get it, the unsubscribe feature does not work... and moreover, it's the only time they have replied to me, they could easily have said, "you have been removed from our list", and that would be the end of it. but they now bring me back to square one. anyone knows how can i find out who their ISP is?
