So that's why I've been getting spam.

Stupid greedy assholes

 

[Mr.Wotsit]

Come on, surely it's spoofing. There's no way they would pull such a stupid move.

 

[kingthebadger]

course it was them! im registered to them, how else wud they have gotten my email?

 

[Mr.Wotsit]

I doubt they would use such bad grammar let alone send porn sites to their customers! It must be fake. Write to them and ask.

"hello mr company guy,
do you send pornographic websites to me?"

 

[Dasparov]

FFS, reply already, have a conversation with them

 

[kingthebadger]

no answer lol

 

[Mr.Wotsit]

I meant write to Overclockers so that they know their name is being used without their consent. Forward the email so they can see along with the real address it was sent from (if you can).
