Thread: Return Fire!

Ok, so Mrs. Gumby is pretty computer smart too it seems.
Check this out:

About 6 months ago, my wife ordered some flash memory from a site that sells stuff and does reviews. When you complete your order, they ask you with a check box if you want to subscribe to their newsletter and receive special offers in the e-mail from them. Basically it is permission to spam you. My wife, being internet savvy, unchecked the boxes. Well they started spamming her anyways. So she tried to unsubscribe, 5 times-the spam kept coming. She wrote the company and requested to be taken off the list-the spam kept coming. She called their 800 number and asked to be taken off the lists they said no problem, but the spam kept coming. So she got a hold of their cooperate e-mail directory (I do not want to know how, its not posted on their site) and started spamming every single one of their employees requesting to be taken off of their mailing lists. It worked like a champ. They had her off of their lists in no time. Their IT chief was pretty ballsy though. He wrote her and said all she had to do was request to be taken off the list, she did not have to write their whole company. I thought she was going to punch my very nice monitor when she read that.
I guess they did not like it when the shoe was on the other foot. lol

Ha! Made me laugh

I'm really curious as to how...

And what website was this so we know to avoid it?

Does she have a sister?

I wish I knew how she did that. I assume she used some social engineering. Sometimes she uses her hottness irresponsibly.
As for the name of the site, I would tell you, but I want to avoid any trouble for her.
