Another addition to my list of folks that are selling or giving away your email addresses. Open Office has sold my email address to other people so they can spam my email. I’m not sure why they feel this is a good way to attracked customers.
There’s a psychology that comes with receiving spam or unwanted emails. I automatically look at the email with discust, and even if it’s something I can’t live without, I will not buy it from someone that has spammed me.
Open Office is the answer to Microsoft Office. It’s free so I see why they might have to spam people but if I had signed up with my personal email address, I would have a mess. I’m am in the processes of testing this software, hopefully, I’ll have a note about whether it’s even worth downloading.
Just a note, don’t sign up with openoffice with your personal email address. I don’t know how gmail and yahoo would filter the spam.
Just some of of the spammers that sent email to my openoffice email address….. orexsis, new hd earth locations, directbuy, complimentary, experian, hdtv plus, snoreezzz pillow…..
DO NOT USE YOUR PERSONAL EMAIL ADDRESS TO SIGN UP FOR OPEN OFFICE, OPENOFFICE.
They sell, give or let someone use, or let someone hack their email addresses that they collected.
