CASINOS ONLINE/CASINO PROPHETS SPAM

[pacers31]

Has anyone (or everyone) been receiving the Fortune lounge spam through this affiliate on a regular and frequent basis?? They offer a link to "unsubscribe" from the mailings, and when you click it you get a message that unless you respond to the automated email they send you your address will not be removed. So I respond to it and it says that the address doesn't match and cannot be removed??? I am sick and F'ing tired of their bullshit come ons and would like to hear from the FL rep about how we get rid of this crap. FL says it is an affiliate problem, but since they are making offers on behalf of FL, they should deal with it. Can't imagine why FL would want to deal with an affiliate that is pissing off their customers!! FL, please respond and direct me as to how I can lose these idiots because it is costing you customers

ugly spammers

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

i ve been trying for months now to unsubscribe from a mailing list called "gamblingstars" , which leads to an url "casinoprophets" ,
which leads to... (some spammy casinowebsite)

What makes me quite a bit angry, is that i always get the same message back, when i try to unsubscribe:

Here is the unsubscribe link (without my name)
http://casinoprophets.com/cgi-bin/qs...xx.de&p=737865


and here is the response:

Subscribe Me Status: Does Not Match!

In order to ensure that you are the owner of the e-mail address: xxxxxxxxx, our Subscribe Me program checks to make sure that the link you clicked on has the proper authorization code. The code that was submitted with your signup: 737865 doesn't match that on file for this e-mail address.
BR>Be sure that the entire link that you clicked is highlighted, otherwise copy and paste the entire link into your browser's URL bar.

If you feel you've received this notice in error, please contact us at happygaming2006@yahoo.com for assistance.


As you might have guessed-- if you try to send thema e mail, it comes back (no such adress).

The ones I get are from Real Vegas Slots and Real Vegas Poker. They both come from Driftwood Bay in Belize, as does the Fortune Lounge Newsletter!!!

Looks rather cosy if you ask me. It would only take a short walk of 11 buildings for the senders of the genuine newsletters to pay a visit to the spammers, yet nothing seems to have happend in months, how fast can they walk!

casinomeister, casinoonnet was rogued cos they were spamming through search engine. but you need to do something regarding fortune lounge spamming. cos i believe that every 8 out of 10 members of this site are victim of fortune lounge spam.i dont think so those spam emails are sent via affiliates, actuaally fortune lounge is sending them, cos on the bottom of all emails the postal address is of fortune lounge. my inbox is always full of there crap and i am sick of these spammers. and there is NO WAY that you can get rid of those spam emails/ CASINOMEISTER, fortunelonge needs to be rogued.

Send a PM to fortunelounge here. That's about the only way to get rid of it.

I had to change email addresses and limit who I gave that out to because of this annoying spam. I usually have to do this at least once a year to get rid of all the spammers. It goes in my delete automatically, but I hate it just the same.

THEY DESERVE TO BE BLACKLISTED OR ARE THEY BIG PAYERS?????

You are way outta line with that last comment.

[spearmaster]

Calm down, nikest.

CasinoOnNet was not rogued because they were spamming search engines - they were rogued for knowingly allowing big affiliates of theirs to steal copyrighted material from other webmasters.

I am of course not a fan of Fortune allowing this to occur - and of course I also don't believe they are doing anything about it despite their assurances. But they are not going to listen to us because the spammer is their biggest source of revenue.

As much as I would like to see them rogued for this I don't think you can really compare this to what CasinoOnNet did.
