Fortune Lounge Masquerading as own Affiliate for Spamming Purposes?

[bernynhel]

Bertha@GREATRENTALNEWS.COM is a new spammy face in my in-box with sign up deals I don't need for River Nile, English Harbour and Casino Share. To any reps seeing this - pass it on while I forward the the spam to affiliate mgrs.

Of course all this while there's the TON of spam for the $2400 deal at World Casino - whoever that is - the same web page and the way it looks I wouldn't go there if the 2400 was no deposit w/0 WR and 100% cashable. But this never gets past the junk mail filters and its these top of the casino's who's opening offers that I cant use clogging my inbox that really pisses me off.

So, FL, CasinoShare, and English Harbour, if you're wondering why I haven't deposited in so long, now you know. And not a dime long as I can find your affiliates dumping your junk in my mail. River Nile, I don't recall you except that I have registered an account there and I just know that I'll never get around to you is all.

Sam F (news@gameanalyze.com) newest spam includes no less than 15 links, 14 for sign up deals at Fortune Lounge Casinos including "Amazing money offer of 399 that has no restrictions" that takes you here: http://gameanalyze.com/opt/link.php?M=5623&N=551&L=47&F=H. One of the links is to Grand Mondial. Four in my inbox within the last 24 hrs from Sam F alone! All new sign up deals mostly for FL casinos that I haven't been eligible for in YEARS!

I forward these emails demanding they quit only every few days to: Spam@FortuneAffiliates.com since after weeks and weeks of complaining to them and even reporting to SpamCop.net FL has never ever replied in any way, shape or form. As a matter of fact, I have forwarded spam to no less than half a dozen addresses Bryan has listed on the "Fight Casino Spam Page" here at CM, reported countless others to SpamCop.net and NO casino group's affiliate manager has ever replied. No casino spam has stopped or even reduced in volume. In fact, it's gotten WORSE! And I have NEVER clicked unsubscribe in any casino spam. WTF Bryan?

Tellmeaboutit RW! I got FIVE spam emails from SAM F just in the last 24 hrs!! Forwarding all five to the so-called Fortune Lounge Anti-spam emaill address @ spam@fortuneaffiliates.com which I now suspect to be nothing more than a throw-away address used to make people like us and CM just go away. 90% Fortune Lounge new sign up offers. Other offers from CasinoShare, Grand Mondial and SlotsPlus have been included in many Sam F spam.

I never liked Fortune Lounge. As far as larger groups go, I think Fortune Lounge is right down there with the likes of Sunny Group and Casino Rewards. This spam crap is fast plummeting Fortune Lounge to the bottom of that s**t pile. I doubt that, no matter what, going forward, I'd ever patronize FL again.

I use Chrome now and haven't figured out how to use their "Inspect element feature" for SpamCop.net though I should use IE, I guess, since Window Live's "view source" formats perfectly except for eliminating the double spaces. Besides, all the reporting I have done to SpamCop.net hasn't seemed to stop or even reduce spam by one iota.

This thread is not about MG casinos, Babs. And on that note, I have never had a payment prob w/MG casinos (just some very slow). & no problem w/software (MG most frequented/played/popular online casinos) and never a question about fairness - I think MG Slots are among the best, when it comes to being able to hit substantially early in the game and also getting a nice payout with smallish bets.

This thread is about some casino operators whom I suspect have written anti-spam policies and then offered links (which Bryan has invested considerable time and effort to list here at CM) for forwarding offending spam containing offers from these same casinos where, once the forwarded spam is received, we are told to believe that someone is there to read the forwarded spam, see which of their affiliates are sending it and then actually do something to stop the spam.

What I believe to be actually true, however, is that once casinos first started getting some, then more complaints about their spam, first from players, then from Bryan contacting them in response to mounting anti-spam threads on CM, word spread among them, and they started writing these strict-sounding, anti-spam policies. They then sent them to CM and published them wherever along with the email address (many, I think, being just throw-away email addresses where everything is deleted and nobody has ever been assigned to check them, let alone read any of it) to give us "something to take action" with, then when the complaints tapered off, which was the best reason for pretending to care at all, casios just continued to do nothing, which was their original intention.

I have forwarded/reported spam to half a dozen of these casinos, writing them to "tell your affiliate to quit spamming me!" hundreds of times over he last few months and never, ever has one casino or casino group replied. I forward all the emails to SpamCop.net - nothing, nada, rien! Not even an "auto response" email letting me know they got any of my messages! Not one message here from any reps either. No rep has even replied in a post here, not to me, anyway. One rep replied, on the defensive, here to a post by maxd, I think, but not to me.

I no longer patronize any casinos I've mentioned in this thread and urge people to request that spam they recieve promoing casinos stop and then if nothing happens, don't deposit in those casinos going forward unless some action taken by the casino(s) is satisfactory.

But don't be surprised if it's just smoke up your ass and I've been farting smoke rings for a while now..
