How did FIRE/Cabot get my email address?

[Guest ilovemycat]

all of the comparison sites sell on data, as does gmail etc. The problem is that the people who buy the info arent too bothered who they sell it on to or whether it is legal for them to do so. A lot of the ambulance chasers get their into that way. Anyway, you cam put a block on the incoming mail so you dont have to be worried by it. If you want a hassle free free email provider use rediff.com. based in India so should make interesting lookup for the DCA's if they try

 

 

Thanks for that, Eric's Bro. Yeah, an Indian e-addy might get 'em scratching their heads! If I could afford it I'd get my incoming phone calls redirected to one of those Indian call centres - I'd happily pay those guys to deal with cabot's calls for me.

Hello,

 

my ancient laptop went temporarily wrong. I didn't mean to be rude.

 

Obviously the thread's long dead and it doesn't need me to bury it

- but I did just want to say a belated thanks to everyone who took the time to answer.

 

I guess I'll never find out by what exact route my email address got into 'bot hands,

but just the fact that it did at all has given me a timely wake-up nudge.

And that's no bad thing.

 

My considered opinion now vis-a-vis online exchange ..... Trust no one - at all! (present company excepted)

 

Again - many thanks. ILMC

 

Whoops! Guess I need to apologize again already. Seems I've unintentionally given offence on here. The above post has been sooo heavily edited - but at least someone took the trouble to do that, instead of just pulling the thing altogether. So thanks to whoever it was. And sorry - I should've read the forum rules more carefully. I'll be sure to leave out any sweary words in future. However I'm still a bit puzzled why, given the context in which it was used, the word "intercourse" should've been removed..? I mean, it doesn't ALWAYS refer to sex, you know - and didn't on this occasion! Cheers, ILMC
