XXXXXXXXXX,

We are just writing to let you all know you have now been merged over to Jamies site
that he is creating. Please use your P4K Login details.

Jamie is arranging alot of new things for everyone and already has the arcade up.

Please support Jamie as this is his first attempt at running a forum.

P4K is still open for business as normal, but now you have the benefit of both sites.
We are not merging simply giving the members more of an option to play at.

Here is the link, http://www.gamblestop.com Please login and update your profile.

Then I got this one today.

As some of you may already know I have launched our NEW website.


We have combined databases with P4K Gaming, however this was only done
so you are able to login without signing up.

Please use your P4K Login detals to enter our site http://www.gamblestop.com
If you cannot remember your password just hit password reset.

As some of you know me already I am Jamie and this is my first attempt at a Gambling Site.

Here is the site once again and see you all there: http://www.gamblesite.com

We are in no way connected to P4K Gaming and promotions on our site have nothing to do with P4K Gaming at all.



Regards,

Jamie

My point is this, why is it OK for my email/personnel details to just be given/sold without my permission. I don't know this Jamie and haven't been on the P4K website since the DolphsLady was the mod there. I don't blame 'Jamie' from trying to distance his/her website from the nuts at P4K but he/she got my details from them somehow. This is the same thing as a casino selling your info to spammers.

Annie, were you ever a member of this forum that is listed in this first post here...??

If so, then he is most likely selling his member lists in order to pay off some of those huge outstanding debts he has brought upon himself.

[BingoT]

Or maybe Jamie had Mod rights to the members list.
And took all the contacts
that's if Annie joined the other place.(P4K)
Jamie is cool.
Or it's like Rob said to get out of the hole for that debt that guy was in.

Do you know what the deal is over there? I saw that you volunteered to be a mod.

Who is this Jamie character? Is it the former owner (Wayne) in disguise?

[BingoT]

Hey BB I don't think it's Wayne in disguise from things I have seen but this is the internet & many have split personallities & sit behind a keyboard & think they are perfect & try to be God or something.
I would volunteer any place to help anyone I can if they need help & I ask for nothing in return because that is me.but I say if you walk on me I will walk harder on you if you take me as a fool.

[anniemac]

Yes Rob. Started out Playing4Keeps then went to P4K or something like that. I am sure he sold my info. and it really pisses me off. Wayne posted this big whine and cry on Sucks and GIA (I think is was). Now this crap. I am off to post about this on the other forums. Far as I am concerned, Jamie is a guilty as he is for buying info.

[anniemac]

Did ya'll catch that in the second email there are 2 different sites named? I don't care if Jamie had Mod rights or not, I don't want my private info given or sold to just any Tom, Dick or Harry around.

[BingoT]

Any "Tom"
I would never buy a name list from anyone.
I know we will see Jamie here soon to give us his side of the story because people need to know what is going on with this.

[swampwitch]

As far as I know, Waynesie and Jaime are two different people. Wayne transferred the P4K member list to the new place. I doubt very much any moneys were exchanged.

Even so, the members of P4K signed up to be members of P4K...PERIOD. They didn't give permission for Wayne to sell OR give their memberships to anyone else or to any other forum. Not only is it a violation of trust, it gives this Jaime person a false cred for getting affiliate and media deals...after all, look at his giant member base. Like everyone, he needs to do his own work getting a membership base.

I'm still think it's fishy, although I'm not saying you are wrong. What about Jamie's ethics, buying a list or however he got it??
