I have an email account setup that is just for this website. I do this for every website that I signup with so I know when spam bots get a hold of my email and start sending the crap my way. It also gives me a way to let websites know when they've started to become spammers or enable spammers.
I want everyone to know that I have been receiving a few emails a week for about a month or so now from the address that is dedicated to the Phandroid Newsletter service. Which means their newsletter service allows spam bots to harvest email address that are signed up to it. I contacted Phandroid about two weeks ago about this issue, I have still not received a response.
Today I removed myself from the mailing list and contacted them about it again. I highly suggest that others remove themselves from the Phandroid newsletter until this issue has been resolved.
Because of my email setup I can say that I do no get spam from any of the other websites that I have an accounts on, so don't give me some "that's the internet for you" line, because it's crap. LOCK DOWN YOUR SERVICE. Please!
Thank you.
