This fucks me off. I get an email, below:

Hi Jez

Friend Ref - (TA1F3Z5F2QZ)

Your e-mail address (jez@irksu.co.uk) has been entered into the Who-Remembers-Me.com “Tell a friend” link by one of your friends in order for us to send you a short note recommending this web-site as they feel it maybe of interest to you.

So, I think, “I will have a look, see who is adding my email address to that site”. I get there and of course you have to pay £5.00 and be a full member before you can use the search facility. So I do. All signed up - totally distracted from busy fucking day. Pay by paypal as I am intrigued to see who remembers me. I cannot find a search that lets me find who added my name to the fucking site! What fucking use is that? FFS, I am pissed off with that! Five fucking quid to join an utterly fucking useless site that probably added my email themselves from a harvest fucking bot list they bought just for this purpose!

So, a word of warning, if you get an intriguing email from this site telling you that someone has entered you email address and you would like to see who that person was, well you fucking can’t so don’t waste your cash.

I always do a search on these peer to peer sites…. I get emails on a daily basis, at least 5 a day. Some are as you say, are from harvested sites, some are from viruses in peoples emails, that just automatically send out a “Hi. I am a Memeber of blah blah, join so we can chat.” I chat with the people I want, and if they want to chat with me, or want me to join something, they will email me properly, and non of this canned message crap, spam spam and more spam. ENOUGH ALREADY !!! but they dont care, they send out 500,000 spam messages, and they get 5,000 people to pay $, not bad results…. so it continues… just go to your government site, and take a minuted to complain, not enough people are complaining.

I just changed my email address and got one of these WRM emails before I had even told a soul about my change of address. the biggest concern I have is that if they are fishing for valid emails and you try to unsubscribe then they have your email and then you have no control over what crap they are likely to send or then on sell your email. If somebody wants to contact me chances are they will by phone.

Thanks Jez I could not have written your notes better, it’s exactly how I feel having just picked up the same email. I can’t say you saved me money because if I had got that far I would not have signed up. If somebody was looking for me and they had my email….they could write direct!!!! Really fed up with these scams.
