Guest guest Posted March 29, 2002 Report Share Posted March 29, 2002 And I was wondering why spam to my Earthlink account had gone way up. That's the kind of abundant blessings I DON'T want. Misha Got the following note from an alert member of one of my . I just went in and checked and sure enough, all of my marketing preferences had indeed been shifted to " yes " rather than my original settings. << is pulling a good one on everyone. As a matter of some changes on their system, they have kindly reset everyone's marketing preferences. So,when you signed into for a ID, you were given a chance to set what sort of notices you wanted advertisers to send to you, well, they just set EVERYTHING to Yes for you, as a courtesy. To change this... Go to your Account Information screen (for each and every ID you have) and about mid screen you will see " Change Your Marketing Preferences " link. Click on it and set them back to the way you want them, otherwise get ready for *LOTS* of advertising spam type emails from 's advertisers. Note also at the bottom, that you will be marked YES for 'By US Mail' and 'By Phone' as well.>> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 29, 2002 Report Share Posted March 29, 2002 Well, thank you for this. What a stinky thing to do. I am going to pass this along to my other groups, as I find this sort of thing beyond acceptable. I had also wondered, since I never use my mail address for anything, why I had been getting spam there all of a sudden. It appears, from many indications, that is on the road to self destruction. Many of their features are going to be pay features soon and I haven't found that they are worth paying for. In addition most of the clubs that were converted to groups are very unhappy with the new format and the bizarre way mail is delivered. I have noticed today that I have gotten several emails that are either repeated or have been cached by for nearly a week. At any rate, this is indeed OT but thanks anyway.
