Internet Marketer Spams other Internet Marketers – How Uncool!

October 24th, 2001

We were spammed not once, but twice today, by a marketer named Darleen Calonge who works for BidBaySearch.com. I know it’s spam because she sent the exact same identical, personal-sounding, letter to every single email address that is posted on our site — emails to editors, marketing, ad sales, subscriber services, you name it. Now, every day all these addresses are inundated with offers for cheap viagra, home loans, photos of naked girls, millions of dollars from Nigeria, and on one notable occasion last week, some exceptionally plush-looking coffins made in Columbia. Just like you, we usually click ‘delete’ and go on with our lives.

However, getting spam from a marketer who really should know better (a marketer who’s marketing Internet marketing services to marketers!) is an unhappy occasion. Uncool Darleen, uncool!
