Title: HydroSpas
Post by: ebirrane on November 16, 2004, 09:18:53 am: Has anyone else gotten spam recently from hydrospas? I haven't sent spa inquiries out or really gone to any manufacturers sites (and I know not hydrospas) in over 6 months but I just got something from Hank Thomas over at hydrospas.

Just wondering if manufacturers were trolling through e-mail accounts on these and other boards.

Post by: ebirrane on November 16, 2004, 12:03:09 pm: Yeah, that is what is so odd, as my e-mail isn't public either. Our e-mail addr's aren't being farmed out are they?

Post by: ebirrane on November 16, 2004, 01:01:13 pm: Well, I would certainly HOPE that it does not. Maybe these were old accounts from other places and they just send stuff out randomly. That's why I wanted to know if others on this forum were getting messages.

I e-mailed them asking where they got the address from.

Now watch, once I type this and post it, I'll get some!

FWIW.

Post by: ebirrane on November 16, 2004, 04:28:34 pm: I got a message back from Hank saying that I had been removed from the "database". No telling where they gathered the information. Probably from 6+ months ago when searching for a tub.

It's good to know it probably was not picked up from here!

I think they were doing the James A. thing and getting them off of Spasearch. I got an email when I was posting there
