Got SPAM anyone?

This sure ticks me off and once again it's unwanted unsolicited and this is after I made it clear the last time I wanted no more mailings. I need to figure out how to remove my set altogether I guess. I no longer have it listed but it still shows as one of the all time finest.

can't your email program block that incoming address?

ccrdragon · December 22, 2003 9:48PM

Mine does - I don't get any more crap from Peter and his group...

How about calling their 800 number a few times a day, telling them you want to be removed? It's their nickel for the call.

dorkkarl · December 22, 2003 10:02PM

benchmark ventures is like a vile, disgusting black ooze, that co. far as i'm concerned is the gunk you scrape off your shoes after slopping the hogs. can't stand those people.

Dorkkarl, You take that back!!!

You have unfairly insulted ooze, gunk AND hogs.

Joe.

PS. I agree!!!

Couldn't you edit the information with a bogus identity and email address?

Let's all flood the 800 number with questions about a statehood quarter found in change...

ksteelheader · December 23, 2003 8:38AM

Lucy, I get those very same e-mails. I don't need them....

Is'nt that the company that sold a PCGS MS 68 $5 Indian to somebody on this board, and the coin does'nt even exist ???

heh heh, my kinda Hepcat!

Russ · December 23, 2003 8:55AM

These spamming slimeballs are still at it?

I'm sure CoinPete will be along shortly to explain that they never do that.

<< take your email off your set. some of us actually like upgrades. so simple!! >>

Actually, it's not that simple. They spammed me by culling the eMail address in my profile here at the forums. It is not the same one I use in the set registry.

Anytime someone sends me an email with an 800 number I'll call it 5 or 6 times a day until they stop sending it to me.
It works.

It looks like I'm not the only one getting unwanted e-mails from Benchmark.

Even better than calling, let your fax machine do it. It will happily redial over and over for you and there's no awkward moment of trying to figure out what to say when some one answers. Finally, having to keep answering the phone, knowing it likely going to be a fax machine is about as irritating as it gets.

Oh so true! Occasionally at work over the summer we'd get a wrong number, including a very old woman... she just kept yelling at the machine... we were laughing so hard!

(then we got the right number

Wayne,

You are an evil man. I love it!

Where's CoinPete? I guess his damage control radar must be on the blink.

Write "STOP SPAMMING ME" on three sheets of paper, which you then securely tape end to end. Start the first one thru the fax, when it makes it thru the front, tape it to the bottom of the third, thus making an endless, perennial loop. A couple days of that should do the trick.

Got SPAM anyone?
