Working on a website for Wedding fayres

Filed under: — kevin_svek @ 7:19 pm

The site is All Wedding Fayres which allows event organisers to add their own events to the site – with a review of all additions – you know what it’s like – you allow comments or guestbooks and lo and behold they get filled with links for dubious products and websites.

Are myjobgroup.co.uk spammers?

Filed under: — kevin_svek @ 6:45 pm

Just wondering if they come under this category, I didn’t even know they existed until a few weeks ago – obviously they are trying to expand, but I’m getting fed up of them unsolicited emails from them every time they open a new site up – I’m Welsh and they’ve created a few domains to cover Wales lately – When they first started – I even stupidly clicked on their opt-out site – so now they know that that email address is valid – I seem to be getting a couple of emails for every new site they launch.
They use constantcontact.com as a “mailing” service and you would have to then opt out of every single account they send it under since every campaign is technically for a different website it appears.
So I’ve sent the old can the spam message to abuse@myjobgroup.com since it doesn’t seem much point to send one to each contact individually and I’ve asked them to remove my details from any and all mailing lists associated with their company

Interestingly they are actually spamming a work email address with invitations to go and get a new job – in my case since it’s my own company that’s not too bad – but if they are using general mailing lists then are they going to affect some peoples careers since totally out of the blue – there is an email in your corporate mailbox – which is monitored looking as if you are looking for new jobs!

I know that I publish my contact details on job boards – but they are on job boards under my control and I target the audience who can see my details.

Ho Hum – rant of the day over. Maybe it wouldn’t be so bad if they actually had any jobs that were interesting on their site in the first place.
