[epub] Subversive Marketing by PalTalk

["Maya Rao" <mayanand@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I am reproducing below a mail that has been ostensibly sent by me.

The fact is that I downloaded the Internet Chat software PalTalk for
evaluation and the next thing I know is that the software has been sending
such emails in my name, without my knowledge or permission.

This is subversive marketing at its worst.

I would like to warn members about these underhand  tactics of PalTalk and
recommend that this is a website that is best left alone.

I have a newsletter and my fear is that PalTalk has happily delved into my
address book and sent a mail on my behalf to all my subscribers. This is
really a mortifying thought.

For all I know, members in this discussion probably got a similar invitation
from me, I apologize and would like to clarify it was not me sending the
mail.

I really do not know whom to complain to.

I am scared to go to SpamCop in case they decide I am the spammer and put a
blanket ban on me!

E-mails to PalTalk go unanswered or I get a standard automated response.

I would like to nail PalTalk and if anybody has advice on whom I should
contact, please tell me.

And please be warned about PalTalk.

Thanks and regards,

Maya Rao
