Unwanted Newsletter

There is supposed to be a way to unsubscribe at the bottom of the email but there's no link to use. No cheers for unsolicited emails.

I got birthday greetings yesterday from Puffy!

Here's the email exchange that transpired ... Puffs comments are in red

I try to keep things above board in correspondence like this, but notice how the issue of my account status is never addressed.

Please remove me from your mailing list. It's bad enough that I very
politely asked for my account to be removed last year only to find out you
simply scrambled my password. I do not wish to have further
communication from Puff.com.

Thank you,

Vincent Stolo

Thank you for the reply, Jon. I appreciate you looking into this.

I would have logged into the account, but I thought the account had been
deleted as I requested last October. What in fact happened was that I
was left as a member but someone simply changed my password.

The account user name is massphatness

Thank you for your consideration.

OK I think I caught all of your preferences and turned them off.

You -may- receive a Puff newsletter. If you do I apologise, simply hit
UNSUBSCRIBE at the bottom of the newsletter and that will take care of it.

Unfortunately folks, it appears we former gorillas will always be a part of the Puff family.

Oh, and then the newsletter showed up today ...

I unsubscribed.... it's been a long time since I've been there... there's shampoo videos playing and all sorts of advertising chaos.

Seems pretty crappy to spam people, but I'm not surprised.

taltos · 05-14-2009, 07:49 PM

Got it also, was in my spam folder.

okieRob · 05-14-2009, 07:59 PM

Yeah me too. I'm sure my old user name will be deleted shortly...

This is exactly why I maintain that ancient hotmail account that I only give out when registering...
