Hello, Just wondering. Does this list membership get sold
to marketing agencies, such as Virtumundo?
No.
I never received junk mail until I joined this group, Now I
get a LOT of junk mail. All of it originates from an organization
called Virtumundo. All of the addresses end in "@vm-mail.com.
VM stands for Virtumundo.
Spammers do harvest addresses of posters on vpFREE and
other Yahoo groups. There's not much that can be done to
stop this practice without throwing out the baby along with
the bath water.
Any spam that you have received didn't result from your
vpFREE membership, because you have never posted here
before and your email address isn't publicly available on
vpFREE. Now that you have posted here your situation has
changed and your address is subject to harvesting by spammers.
This is very annoying.
Spam is very annoying and difficult to combat/manage. I get
several huindred spam emails every day.
I belong to several other Yahoo groups and have never had
this problem before.
If you have posted on other Yahoo groups that may very
well be where spammers got your address.
