That is strange. I never would be thinking they would spam. Did you contact them about it ?

[coight]

I only just received it, no doubt it was harvested from here because the title was "Merchant Accounts, Recurring Billing, 2checkout.com Problems?"

[Aussie Bob]

Wierd because it's coming from an affiliate link.

[AceWeb]

That is what I am thinking, maybe one of the affiliate's spamed you.

If you take a look at the headers, I highly doubt it.

Yeah and like Paysystems can talk about no problems with recurring payments.

[TowerHost]

hehe nice Bob
Did you ever get that resolved?

[2Grumpy]

I GOT ONE TOO!

I was just about to make a search for this so I didn't start a new thread and lo and behold, it was the top post in here

Funny thing is I just put in an app a couple days ago at Paysystems for their IMA and then they go and spam me "Leonard Lang" is the name on the return address for me.

[LinuXpert]

Me too. And it's clear from the header that those messages were sent from Paysytems' server (moulin.paysystems.com)

[alchiba]

I got the mail too even though I still have an account with them, but PS and I parted company long ago. They must have harvested addies from here or through some other treachery.

[diederik]

I contacted the guy who spammed me aswell and he's saying it isn't spam.. Well, it is according to me

[diederik]

Here's the complete e-mail conversation... that Leonard Lang guy is extremely rude .. ( at least , that how I think about this, if you don't think it is , please tell me ).

note: converstation start @ the bottom

Please direct me to the post where I said I wanted to receive offers
from other companies.
I did NOT ask that. So this is spam. Period.
Glad you mailed me, I now know I should avoid your company.

Diederik,

First of all this was not a spam email, it was one specifically sent to
you with regards to a post I saw.

[ATST]

Well now he can't say he didn't send it.

It sounds just like one of those B to B models this other "non-spammer" wrote about here:

[diederik]

Yeah.. I hate when people 'defend' spam like that
