I am allergic to SPAM! - GotSmart - 05-21-2023
Today I got a notification from the “old” forum that someone had started a conversation with me.
I still have friends there so I opened it.
I was offered two free stickers if I became a paying member
Really? SPAM?
What ever happened to honest information being freely shared between people?
If anyone wants a YARC sticker I will even pay for the stamp.
No spam involved.
Here at Vandwellerforum.com we only have a few rules.
Welcome to the no spam zone.
DISCLAIMER, having a YARC sticker doesn’t make you a member. You need a really good story for that.

I got the same spamy email, and it's not the first time I've got a message begging for money.
I want one of those stickers! Hopefully when I get to meet ya'll face 2 face one day!

It wasn't an email for me, it is an icon labeled "Conversation", and I have had two "conversations", both begging for money.
Did they finally come up with a van life decal that was acceptable to the herd of individuals?

Let’s see~~~~ postage is about~~~. Printing is about ~~~. Why asking for payment would be the right thing to do. WE AINT RIGHT.
Accounting would kill the project.
So I guess I am no accountant.

No , you are the Badgernator. .............and the keeper of the decals ! (among other things that we make you do ...)
Did you get the club pool open yet ?
Maybe we should offer a free decal with a free membership ?
Now get back to work and send Kyz a decal !
So I feel left out , I didn't get the spam.....it might have been coming from that last .ru membership applicant I escorted out of the building ?

To Be Clear I was talking about the Son/Daughter of Bob Wells' site. Not this spin off here.
On my cell phone I keep getting poorly worded texts [think Nigerian 401 princes, except with really effed up language skills] about my [Amazon(I do have)/Netflix(I do not have)] account having been locked down because of hacker activity or some other type of scum. I delete the texts without remorse.

Wayne, I get those text messages about my netflix and venmo accounts being locked. I don't have netflix or venmo so jokes on them. I do report as junk, not that it does any good.

As for the beggar messages, I had a PM from southbound and also got an email notification because she/he/it is an admin/owner.

Serial spam.
CRVL started with the best of intentions. Then it went to a for profit format. What happened to helping people that needed it?
