vBrewrite Sales emails

[BirdOPrey5]

I got a copy of the email someone forwarded me and it had scores of email addresses listed in the TO field meaning the spammer who sent them didn't even know how to use BCC to hide the other emails they were sending too. If one person on the list 'replies to all' that is dozens of emails generated and you also give away the emails of other people- it is not a good practice for a respectable business.

Well i pmed the Vb staff who pmed me asking if this is his software. He just send me the link and told me to check it. May be it is not his and he wanted me to just check it. Will see his reply.

If it is his, i think it is an error because he won't do that.

Been getting them all day long here as well, it's obnoxious.

Had 150 + of the same email last night, started a thread on vb about it. http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/forum...80#post4008880

Finally registered on the site and left message and post to remove my address from his mailing list. There were several others who left same type of messages. See they were removed this morning. Now not getting them anymore. If they dont stop maybe signup with an email you dont use much and post the same thing - remove email from list.

We all know how Vbseo started with the mass emails. I received one too back in the days from Vbseo, that is how i found out about it. I am sure if it is an error spam, he will take care of it.

They deserve to be bashed and not because they are new (they aren't, FYI vbrewrite goes back to 2006). I have received over 20 of these spam emails in the past 48 hours. I didn't ask to be put on his list, I don't want his spam, and I don't want 20 copies (so far) of his spam.

When you say a VB Staff Member you mean a vBulletin employee?

Same problem here.. Received at least 100, with all recipients visible.. If this is a US based sender, this would be illegal.

I think he is. Anyways, i can't comment about this until it is verified.

Well i can confirm he is one of the Developer involved (: the Vb staff but i can't provide names. Received a reply confirming it.

I did tell him to check their email client though.
