Bodog how did you get my email and physical address?

Java · Sep 2, 2003

Truthteller-
I've gotten spam from Bodog to an email address that is not on another sportsbook list. However, I have gotten other spam to that address, so maybe they bought some junk email list.

As for your accusation, just name the sportsbook you think Bodog stole from. Don't pussyfoot around. You already made the accusation against Bodog. If the other book's customer data has been taken, the customers (and any potential) customers have a right to know. If this allegedly stolen customer data contains credit-card info, customers should know.

Most touts sell their lists to books.

Truthteller said :They not only sent me an email but also I received stuff from them at a physical address that only like 2 sportsbooks have. Those sportsbooks have it cause I did work for them a few months ago.

If truthteller is not a player, then a connection from neteller or a tout service would knock that theory out.

I think truthteller sounds like a programmer..

JoeyC, yes I am a programmer/gambler. I am programmed to gamble.

It couldn't be neteller because i don't have this address listed with them.

good point joey...so you think I got on some tout's list...I do not recall every using one...but maybe they got a hold of my email...that is why I never give the book my REAL home phone...not worth the cold calls

Dante:

Truthteller got on a mail list not a e list.

He wants to know how did BDog got his physical address?

This is a valid question, imo.

Not much help for physical mail, but some interesting resources for the online kind. Best way to bulletproof yourself on the physical address thing is to just erect an alternate you for dealings such as this, keeping your same real name and all. Not very expensive, and legal so long as it is done without intent to defraud.

sounds like the dog's been sticking his nose where it shouldn't be.

On a related note ...

... I get about 10 of these types of E-Mails per week (they're either for Viagra or for "Enhancing the size of the male love organ"):

"zzqtt Doesn't youur booy work? occb"

"QUy SSay hhi to puntangg aagainxtn "

------------------------

I am quite sure I have narrowed the source for selling my E-Mail address down to either:

1. Neteller
2. 5 Dimes

Does anyone else get these ?
