Vegas Frontier and FortuneLounge Spam

[scrollock]

You are aware that there is a relationship between S. Berkowitz and the Crystal Palace casinos, right? It's made pretty obvious here as well.

And doesn't this have something to do with FL getting shut down by Spamhaus a few weeks ago? My memory is a bit cloudy on this.

also he cant decide on whether his surname is richards or Berkowitz, or what country he lives in, never a good sign.

looks like fortune lounge is on self destruct mode if they are allowing this relationship to continue

"fortunelounge", thanks for the speedy reply, but I'm afraid your employer is demonstrating a real lack of ethics here.

*People have been reporting this spammer to the "abuse" address for weeks without any response, so Fortune Lounge clearly has known about this problem all this time.

*It's obvious that this spammer buys bad lists; sends multiple emails to the same addresses; and does not care whether or not the "unsubscribe" function is implemented.

*It's not the public's responsibility to have to respond to "unsubscribes".

*It has long been Fortune Lounge's explicitly stated policy that they will not tolerate spam. That has been shown to be a total lie.

Clearly, this Casino Prophet the Spammer makes so much money for Fortune Lounge that they're willing to keep him on as a marketer and risk having their sites made inaccessible by spam blocking backlash. I'm very disappointed in this response.

This has been going on for months; here's one from the beginneing of August:

VP -

You may have a publisher relationship with CasinoProphet, but he is most definitely:

1. An affiliate, if not necessarily so in your case
2. A spammer.

Your response, unfortunately, is not acceptable - everyone in this industry knows who CasinoProphet is and I am absolutely amazed that you would even enter into a relationship with him.

Please let us know when you have dealt with this. I am very sure eCOGRA would like to see this relationship terminated immediately without having to hear the flimsy excuses that he gives you to use.

I repeat again - I have years of back emails that can prove this fact. Why none of you claim to know Casinoprohet completely baffles me. Or is that just one of the excuses from Slickstreet which hides the fact that they KNOW he is the industry's biggest spammer?

[GrandMaster]

Casinoprophet is not an affiliate but has a publisher relationship with Slickstreet Marketing who are now working hard on incorporating their unsubscribe process into his mail system.Although this process has experienced some hickups and manual intervention, it will be resolved and the unsubscribe process should soon be effective.

People should not have to unsubscribe in the first place. Furthermore, unsubscribe requests are often used by spammers to confirm that an e-mail address is live, so even if it is taken off one list, it is sold on as a confirmed address to another spammer.

In the meantime, if anyone receives unwanted mail from this publisher, please forward me your details and I will assist in getting you removed from the publisher's mailing list.

You might regret this offer, if only a few people forward their spam to you, your inbox will be flooded.

Here's the transmission routes for four more. I've been getting these damn things in ever increasing amounts for months and I'm sick of it. I'm posting the routes so that casino reps and the public know exactly what is going on.
I don't want to read any more excuses. The casino knows my email and they have the power to stop this harrassment. I'm a VIP customer at Fortune Lounge.

All they have to do IS STOP PAYING THE SPAMMER.

I thought AOL was supposed to have such sophisticated spam kill filters...

[GemG7]

This is BS, I just received 3 more of the exact same spam email. My ISP does send these to my screened mail folder. This is making me never want to deposit another dime at FL casinos.

AOl is catching most of them, but I still have to look through my spambox every day because I'll get mail from folks not on my whitelist.

It's a mental respite more than a real savior.
