Hmmm I open my email to find a wonderful email from bidbayqueen( email account withheld )telling me to stay away from Bidbay and to shut up about them or I will find my name and contact info spread out all over the world. lol Hmmm. Should I be scared? For anyone who cares to find out, my contact info can be found using my sig file. Name addy and phone # for the world to see. Just wondering if I have gotten the special treatment or if this was a mass mailing. funny I have not been over there for 2 days and last time I checked, their message board was so full of cartoon faces it was unreadable. Well I will be filing a complaint with the Michigan State Police tommorow. In the meantime, I think I will go hide in my closet! lol
Sorry Michelle!
Lol most of the time I am a good boy. I forgot about that rule. Will not happen again

No problem I need to get slapped once in awhile! lol. For the record: I do NOT think this came from any official employee of Bidbay. I could be wrong but I dont think they would stoop that low nor do I think I have said anything about them to make them mad enough to write this.

Threatened to put your contact info out all over? My oh my!
If you can track that e-mail through the person's ISP, take the info to the police as well as report the person to their ISP for abuse. You can write to
[email protected]
That person will no longer have that ISP, as most if not all ISP's have similar TOS. No threats, no intimidation, no abuse at all is tolerated. Send the entire letter, headers included with it. If you don't know how to include headers, e-mail me and let me know.
You know where you can find my e-mail address.
The use of intimidation and threats is very very childish to say the least.

That's a bit scary huh? I haven't received any threats........course my info is already posted for all the world. LOL (Business that is!)
I'm with MtnMama and AG2......seek all avenues available to you. This is rediculous!
So sorry that happened to you.

Hi all. You know, I would be MORE intimidated if someone would have used a "real" email account to send the threat. After all to me if you are big enough to threaten you should be big enough to stand in front of it. This one came from a freebie service. In fact honestly I find it amusing! Kind of like when you are in middle school and the person you have a crush on you find out doesnt like you so you start crank calling them to "get even' Lol unlike those crank calls, this will not cause me to lose any sleep! hehe

B&S
You know you can still report them to a free ISP.
Good luck on this one.

Greetings from Canada! I am so scared I left the country! lol Actually I am getting ready to leave for the A.C.C. to watch my Maple Leafs. Gheesh Wondering if AW would like to help me pay the long distance charges to cover my time on their board here. lol. I have my attorney dealing with the investigative work and a police report should have been filed on my behalf today. I am not accusing Bidbay employees of making this threat. I hope my faith that they did not do it will be correct. have a great evening everyone!
GO LEAFS GO!

Hya Ballsandstrikes!
Thanks for keeping us up to date.
Hope you'll let us know what happens here, if ya can.
I have to agree, I don't think the folks over at BidBay would do this. The folks I deal with there and have dealt with there, have been very nice and seem to be sincere, honest people.
