Golden Spiders Are At It Again

September 10, 2008 at 5:57 pm

Spamming that is.

That makes me really really angry.  After all the bloody time and hassle I had to spend last year getting my little case brought to the Data Protection Commissioner, and they’re doing it again.

It’s because the piddly little fine of €500 didn’t really hurt them at all.

If you receive an unsolicited email from the Golden Spiders will you please do something about it?  If everyone complains and makes a big deal about it this year, maybe they’ll get more than a €500 slap on the wrist.

Now the one good thing out of all of this is that I haven’t heard a peep! If I do, I will most certainly be acting on it.  So woe betide anyone in Golden Spiders HQ who sends out the wrong list.

    A ‘networking’ organisation that I decided not to join keep sending me emails which I can’t unsubscribe to because whenever I try, I get the message that I’m not a member (true) and that I should sign up to make changes to my account. That would mean giving them my credit card details for a ‘free’ month’s trial. I’ve tried sending emails to them but they either bounce or are not answered.

    Terence, I suggest you get on to the Data Protection Commissioners. That is exactly the kind of thing they are there for. You can find their contact details here: http://www.dataprotection.ie/docs/Home/4.htm

    Site’s a bit yocky, but persevere!
