I also got this spam about South Africa. Has anyone answer Mr Ron yet?

I got it today and I have received before
didn't even read it before deleting it

Since you are already on his list, why not give hime some of his own medicine and fill up his mailbox?

Good Lord, you guys actually read this crap before deleting it? It's kinda dangerous, no?

I don't have any idea what they say....

But I can get you a REALLY GOOD deal on helping to fence Saddam Hussein's loot... just e-mail me at [email protected].

Here's the running dialog and final results. And for the record, FlyerTalk has never - or even considered - selling or renting it's member database


Dear Randy

Thank you for your e-mail. I have deleted all the e-mails from our address book.

As the CEO of Fairchilds I really can’t think of any other business that would have a policy different than ours. You might rethink this Internet stuff as people are getting pretty tired of the spam.

Dear Randy

Thank you for your e-mail. Apologies for our direct mail shot. I will delete the info.

Please accept my sincere apologies - I did not know of your policy.

Kind regards

We’ve got a problem Ron. I own FlyerTalk and we do not allow others to harvest information about members in order to spam them. Your attached email is that. I would appreciate it if you delete everything you have as I will be taking this up with those that run your outfit. Very poor decision on your behalf.

Good day,
Randy

Thanks for taking the action to do this. That's twice in a week that I've thanked you for this great community.

Gotta love FT!

Randy,

Thanks for taking the time to look into this!
