WBC Newsletter - Empty Closets - A safe online community for gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgendered people coming out

-Michael- · 24th Feb 2009, 02:08 PM

Today I check my email.
I have loads of WBC newletters.

I've never even used this email to email them!

There's no unsubscribe option!

WHAT DO I DO!?!

If you have spam or junk settings then add their email address to the blacklist.

If not then maybe you need to get a new email address?

Don't reply as that confirms the address as valid and you will get even more crap from them.

**EM68** · 24th Feb 2009, 02:10 PM

Email them back and demand they take you off your list. Then put their email address as spam.

accringtonobserver@gnwn.co.uk

is the 'to address' i can assure you it's not mine.

Jeimuzu · 24th Feb 2009, 02:52 PM

Someone's sold your address to them.

I'm sure it violates the DPA, but doesn't stop people doing it.

Bunny · 24th Feb 2009, 02:55 PM

That is /so/ messed up.

-Michael- · 24th Feb 2009, 03:15 PM

I find it a bit of a coincidence having the WBC...

of all people...

The latest email D:

otc877 · 25th Feb 2009, 01:33 AM

But, in all seriousness, the best course of action (as Paul said) is to report them as spam or blacklist them in some way. Do not respond to the e-mail because they will know it's an active e-mail address and in turn sell it to more people.

Most newsletters come with an unsubscribe link towards the bottom as well.

-Michael- · 25th Feb 2009, 01:53 AM

Yeah I tried to find a an unsubscribe link.

But the email just contains a single line (the subject) and then an attatchment.

Wander · 25th Feb 2009, 05:22 AM

I say keep them on, this is hilarious! Now they're after Elton John and Billy Joel? What does being fat and British have anything to do with it?

davo-man · 25th Feb 2009, 06:11 AM

Well, the fact that Elton John is married to a bloke might have something to do with it hehe

ricoca · 25th Feb 2009, 06:29 AM

I say spy on them!
