I don't know, but someone signed me up for Recipe Swap, and I never signed up for them. I have also been signed up for Net Wealth Creator as well. Whoever is was for recipe swap used the first letter of my first name, and the first four letters of my last name to signed me up under that username. This is not funny, and that I seel violated that someone signed me up for these programs without my knowledge, and using my e-mail address as well. I don't know who it is, but it is someone that I trusted in the programs that I am is doing this. I just don't know what to do, and I am not sure which webmaster is doing it. The only way to solve this is for all the people who have been signed up for alot of these programs including for programs like cosmicWealth, Earn\withPaul and all that need to get together and list programs we were in or at the time from May to now. It could be the same person behind all these sign ups.

Not sure Jay, but there have been too many people being signed up for programs who are on this forum, or at yours with these programs. I think it is time for all of us to work together to get to the bottom of this. Everybody should which includes webmasters and members alike. We can eliminate which webmasters who has not done this. You could be eliminated as well. It is worth a shot though, and we can find out who the culprit is doing all this to everybody.

It's because:
You don't protect your info very well
And people just don't like you.

oh boy......

sometimes when you signup for a program, you agree (via the TOS) to receive third part emails

it take only 1 site who give your email adress that way and it will be very difficult for you to find the one who did that

well i've been signed up for two gptre's that i know i wouldn't have signed up for. because of highish payout....

i don't consider this the normal spam. my passwords have been given too. i have NEVER had this until THE thread about this (c'mon, you remember the one). not being funny or anything, but i'm wondering if it's the same person. i will certainly do my best to find out who signed me up.

if you join in the downline builders, some reflinks show the email addys & since they can see who posted, its easy to sign them up! but i'm not saying that this is the only way they do things like that!
although i agree that this person does not have any right to live, how will we know who it is? can't prove that its the webmaster! so maybe the webmaster down't really do anything about it or maybe can't! maybe the wm deleted the person who signed you up but who's to say that that person can't sign up again under a different email addy?
and as much as i hate the fact, i just think that it would be hard to prove whoever's responsible!

We could by the ip number of the person who signed all of us. The strange thing is, I have been getting getting these e-mails before I could confirm my e-mail address. I am still getting e-mails from Juvio, and I have reported them to SPAM cop because I have asked them to not send me anymore e-mails and all that.

if someone signed you up to those programs, then it is not considered spam to that company.. just unsubscribe and they won't do it again.. that's how i stopped getting emails from the companies that i got signed up for w/out my knowing.. also, i think it's just people looking for more refs and not some conspirisy w/ webmaster stealing our info and signing us up...

Yep in my case it was someone just trying to get more refs at SuperDollarDepot I think it was. I just emailed the webmaster and they took care of it and CCed me a copy of the email they sent the person who tried to sign me up (deleted them too BTW)...was well taken care of by the webmaster

it's a bit different when they sign you up and use your password!!

also, with a lot of spam, if you unsubscribe, you are actually CONFIRMING your email address - i learnt this thru coolmail. it hasn't stopped, just increased. i set a message rule to delete their emails, but they keep changing email addresses.

so yes, somewhere out there IS a webmaster who has access to our passwords and is using that to their advantage. it's annoying. and it has never been that much of an issue, but it is becoming one..

The problem with Juvio, you can't unsubscribed from them yourself. You have to e-mail them to unsub, but they still have not.

Soooooooooooooo ......... did you charge then the $10 as per your sig ?????

Hi,

guess what, it can even be more weird then that.
Someone is using an emailaddress i use from my site to sign other people up for programs.
In other words, i had someone receive an email with a signup link, coming from my emailaddress, but i did not send that.
If someone here can be of any help in how i can find out who is using my email address i would be very grateful.
regards
peter

Found the problem. I got a response from Recipe Swap today. Why was I have been signed up? I was not the first person who has complained resently. If you have joined World Blitz, or thinking about it? Don't join or they will signed you up without permission. The person who responded to me said that World Blitz was supposed to have sent us members an e-mail if we wanted to up in or not to these programs like Recipe Swap. I have never recieved any of these e-mail, and the other people who made the complaints also did not recieved the e-mails either. It looks like World Blitz is going to be dropped as a partnership with them because of the too many complaints.

Someone signed me up at cosmicwealth today!!!

Well...seems too much ppls doing this.

It's very easy to send email from ANY email address. :ph34r:

Only way you can TRY to track this person is to see the header in the emails he has sent.
Things you'll find is the header are ip-address and the host that sent the email.

You can report this problem to the host who is sending emails with your email address (report with full header information) and if you are lucky, they'll try to track that fellow down.
(But it's only a slim chance that they'll ready to do that.)

Happy hunting

Someone signed me up for
CosmicWealth today.

yeah me too, cosmicwealth

Poncer... why don't you just e-mail the webmaster of that program and ask him who is your upline?

There's also the issue of these new sites that have come up which have the security hole. jaukki knows the one I am talking about, I also posted it up within the Program owners forum about it. Anyone who knows your email address can get your password unless they do something about that hole.

Someone signed me up at cosmicwealth today!!! Again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
