BRAINPOP.COM SENDS SPAM AND TRICKS USERS

Posted on September 23rd, 2008 in by Unsolicited Spam

When someone builds a new website and wants to let everyone know about it, how would they do that? Apparently this guy though it was ok to buy a list of email addresses and spam them all!

BRAINPOP.COM SPAMS PEOPLE. It would not be wise to do business with BRAINPOP.COM as they have apparently bought a list of email addresses, built dummy accounts for all of them and then spammed hundreds, thousands or even millions of people in an attempt to quickly boost their user base. This method of attracting customers is not only sneaky it is also illegal.

Their pathetic attempt to trick us into clicking on a link failed. However this is what their email said:
