Got some spam the other night on a sight called auctioncounter.com

I went and looked at it. Bosted 300,000 users and 9,000 catagories etc.

I could not find a thing on it. Might it be a scam to collett information?

Anyone else get it or figure this one out?

Jim

Looks like a ghost town. There's lots of auction ghost towns out there now ( a tumbleweed rolls down main street as I type ).

A failed dream perhaps?

Hello Again Lanefamily, Tooltimes and Ghallgren

As our marketing Dept mentioned to Tooltimes, the spam he received was not intentional. Many Companies use "opt-in " mailing list to contact people based on their interest. Lanefamily may have signed up at some other site where his information was sold or placed on a list based on interest. We never sell member information see our Security and Privacy policy here:

Actually I believe it was sucked off the eBay site by someones scum sucking program.

I do not doubt you purchased a list to mail to of eBay sellers but whom ever you purchased it from or had made it did it by collecting ebay seller addresses.

We own several domains and all the mail that goes with them. The only way to get that address is to suck it off eBay. It is the only one in the clear at eBay also so no other accounts of ours got the spamm cause they are behind user id's

This is my opinion, if eBay or PayPal sold my name to you after they said they would not then I understand it.

hello Jim,

You're probably right. Actually we rented the list from a broker, i believe the owner of the list misrepresented it to the broker. In any case, thanks for the benefit of the doubt.

Customers first. Connect . Have fun
