kinell Posted February 7, 2007 Report Share Posted February 7, 2007 Did anybody else receive an email from Emma Connop at the ACU today? If you did, I've now got your email address and you've got mine along with the other 500 addresses that were publicised for all to see/use/abuse in the CC: field!

neonsurge Posted February 8, 2007 Report Share Posted February 8, 2007 Can anyone confirm that the email is actually from the ACU? It smells very spammy to me and the mail headers look a bit suspicious (different from and reply-to addresses, peculiar routing...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scorpa3 Posted February 8, 2007 Report Share Posted February 8, 2007 I've now got one from emma connop at the ACU. By clicking on the attachment, pages of adverts open up from a company called Calsport. Everything Calsport sell is aimed at road racers, Now I hate to be critical and I'm sure this was done with the best of intentions but... Everything Calsport sell is aimed at road racers, I must admit I find it a bit strange that the ACU are using trials affiliated members details to send out what is basically spam. Or am I being a bit unfair? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
old trials fanatic Posted February 8, 2007 Report Share Posted February 8, 2007 No you are not being unfair. This WAS unsolicited e mail and in my book that is the definition of SPAM. I think John Collins should at least comment as to why our details are being used for SPAM purposes. Not happy. OK no body died but it's not right is it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the addict Posted February 8, 2007 Report Share Posted February 8, 2007 You must have given them your email OTF, I dont mind the ACU sending me mails as it may be something usefull one day its the viagra ones that p*** me off costs me a fortune Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scorpa3 Posted February 8, 2007 Report Share Posted February 8, 2007 It's just a pity they targeted members with trials affiliation with something only useful to roadracers. Surely the quarterly glossy magazine would have been the appropriate method to pass on such an advert. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
old trials fanatic Posted February 8, 2007 Report Share Posted February 8, 2007 (edited) You must have given them your email OTF, I dont mind the ACU sending me mails as it may be something usefull one day its the viagra ones that p*** me off costs me a fortune Just because i give someone my e mail address so that they can advise me that my license has been recieved, is being processed, has been despatched etc doesnt give them carte blanche to send me unsoliceted advertising that i did not indicate i was interested in receiving. Looks like the spam filter will have to be brought into action. Shame as you never know, doubtful i know, the ACU might just send me something useful for once? Surely there must be more cost effective ways of stiffening up your suspension than viagra?

rabie Posted February 9, 2007 Report Share Posted February 9, 2007 AFAIK the ACU don't spam you intentionally, and don't sell the members database to anyone thus I'm sure this is one of those renaming scams to make it look legit - it would be nice if someone posted up the headers if this is however some sort of intentional spamming operation I've enough contacts to rock the boat to stop it happening again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
