EMail addresses spammed by third parties after ordering
|

Do you want spam?
I setup custom email addresses for each vendor I purchase from. I ordered from SwansonVitamins.com on Aug 2nd 2010 using one of these addresses. On Nov 11th 2010 I ordered again using another custom email address. As expected I received SwansonVitamins.com's advertisement emails.
However on Mar 24th 2011 I received spam on the second custom address. On May 12th 2011 I received a request to opt-in to receive email from a local vendor RC Willey, a local furniture store, on that same custom address. On Jul 7th 2011 I started receiving nearly daily emails on that address from RC Willey. On Aug 18th 2011 I received two opt-in requests from T-Mobile one for each of the custom email addresses. On Oct 31st 2011 T-Mobile started sending email to the addresses without opting in.
I have received at least 325 mostly spam emails on those addresses. My wife also ordered from SwansonVitamins.com on her own computer with a custom address and is also receiving spam.
Their Privacy Policy says they do not sell or share your email addresses. Well, they are either hacked or they are sharing them, between my wife and I there are three examples, and I'm not the only reviewer complaining. I urge you to either use a disposible email or do not order from them. It's not worth being deluged with spam!
Are you having a similar experience? Please complain to SwansonVitamins that you'll take your business elsewhere unless they stop this practice!
