dontasciime Posted October 4, 2005 Posted October 4, 2005 Is anyone that is subscribed to svp.co.uk's mailing list being bombarded with emails from them, i have had over 4,000 and counting today, just got another 510 emails from them.... just wondering if ne1 else is getting this ?
jack Posted October 4, 2005 Posted October 4, 2005 Not had one since yesterday.The last one was offering me a dance mat of some sort. Will go for that, NOT!!
LIGHTNING UK! Posted October 4, 2005 Posted October 4, 2005 I'm on it. It's just you! I had one email on the 2nd - titled: 'Great gift ideas from SVP' - and I've had nothing since.
cornholio7 Posted October 4, 2005 Posted October 4, 2005 i got the 'great gift ideas' one on the 3rd - nothing since
dontasciime Posted October 4, 2005 Author Posted October 4, 2005 (edited) actually they are from simon@svp and free gift, and are titled admin@svp so they are not normal mailing list emails, these are the emails you would get back after say opening a ticket for support...

LIGHTNING UK! Posted October 4, 2005 Posted October 4, 2005 Ah probably just a virus acting on your/their behalf then. I had a few hundred NDR's come through yesterday on my normal 'home use' account. All of them were about some crappy spam email supposedly coming from me with the subject 'Need in software?' The email I supposedly sent contained the following: Good day! Do you need any software for your pc? We might have what you need... Our site is h**p://www.penok.com Thank you, Hilario
dontasciime Posted October 4, 2005 Author Posted October 4, 2005 i have checked my system for spyware, virus etc, and as i suspected my system is free of those... 6,000 + emails from em today and counting... god knows how many by tomorrow
lfcrule1972 Posted October 5, 2005 Posted October 5, 2005 I only had the one last week same as the other guys - have you tried contacting SVP ?
dontasciime Posted October 5, 2005 Author Posted October 5, 2005 (edited) yep have sent sales an email, just waitng to get 3 million replies from them today. this mornings installment, though it looks like this will be the last of them, as someone hopefully at their end read what i typed and realised something was not quite right with their system.

LIGHTNING UK! Posted October 5, 2005 Posted October 5, 2005 Sorry, I didn't mean YOU had the virus, I meant someone else was sending them on your/their behalf. Hope you get it sorted out
dontasciime Posted October 5, 2005 Author Posted October 5, 2005 i have never been so popular <lol> it looks sorted now, thanks
volvofl10 Posted October 5, 2005 Posted October 5, 2005 LOL, sorry dontasciime , its just you by the look of it .

dontasciime Posted October 9, 2005 Author Posted October 9, 2005 there were not normal mailing list emails, it was personal correspondence from a guy there called simon, about my free gift. but it got sorted a day later.
blutach Posted October 9, 2005 Posted October 9, 2005 A personal gift from a poor deposed president in Central Africa who is legitimately entitled to a gazillion bucks if only you'd give him $100,000 to get him started. =)) Regards
lfcrule1972 Posted October 10, 2005 Posted October 10, 2005 I signed up to that too blu - nice to see that I wasn't alone in my compassion and desire to help fellow man !!!
zacoz Posted October 10, 2005 Posted October 10, 2005 Hey that sounds kind of like what's just happened to me. My dearly departed second cousin, of my third aunt, by a same sex relationship, has left me 10 Million dollars. I didn't even know I had any overseas relations a month ago. I've had to pay $5,000 in costs (taxes, customs clearance etc), but I'll be retiring any day now.
