HOW ARE MARKETERS GETTING MY PRIVATE EMAIL ADDRESS THROUGH ORBLE???
May 26th 2010 15:02
I have already made one complaint, previously to Orble, regarding an unsolicited email arriving in my private (non Orble) email box, disguising itself as an Orble reader and whatnot, but is actually a marketing campaign.
When I complained to Orble, it was suggested it was not possible to hack Orble, or some such, I can't remember the reason, but I do remember nothing was done about it.
But it has happened AGAIN...by another individual...I presume.
So, in the interests of garnering support to have this practise stopped and to get Orble to investigate HOW is it that someone I have not corresponded with can get my private email address, (AND YOURS will be next), I post it here for your perusal and comment;

I'd like to thank you for the excellent information I've found

I figured you might be interested in including a guest article

exercise is important, nutrition tips, etc...).
Article in form of a little guide to help your readers
experiencing with this topic and perhaps discuss the topic at
hand.
Please, take a minute to consider this; it would be a pleasure
and honor to contribute!

QUOTE ME NO QUOTES!
thanks for commenting,
I think what is happening to your site is exactly the same as my situation, and I agree too much SPAM is unhealthy for one's diet (and that was quite witty of you too!).
I guess I better try again on the Writers Forum to see what Jon can come up with...
And I'll drop by your blogs, now that we have 'met'.
cheers

I complained about this to the orble editor and the guy got banned from orble - it was strange but I suppose it's a big site and occasionally some bugs can slip through - kind of like that weekend no one could log in.

I get a lot of spam on another blog I have, so I've stopped writing there and just go back once in a while to clear it out.
I also received HUGE amounts of spam at my private email address, but that was my fault as I angered a member on a writing site who had my email address and he signed me up with every Viagra seller in the world! In one week I received 270 pages of it! My ISP was terrific and I now have strong anti spam safeguards there. All their other customers have it now as well.

yes it is infuriating! I have made my complaints to Orble management, but all to no avail, as I didn't even get the courtesy of a response one way or the other!
I have changed my mailer as a result, and God Bless the spam filtering demigods!
cheers
