    Spam

    Never before have I had to endure anything like the deluge of junk which I've been receiving from dodgy bookies and tipping services over the past month.

    And it all seems to date back to the time I registered for this "Become A Pro" thing at SBR.

    Have you guys sold e-addresses to these shonky operators?

    the only one of those I've ever dealt with is 1128 and the timing of this current wave of spam doesn't fit with when I joined them

    I've been getting lots of spam for years. And this time of year is always prime time for it.

    Spam goes back way before the Become a Pro thing.

    well i didn't get this specific spam so it must not be SBR.
    but i noticed i received quite some spam once i checked moneybookers promotion page with those phony casinos they're promoting

    Fortunately I wasn´t a Pro at SBR, but I don´t think SBR sold your email to spam books.
    I had the biggest spam attack after I registerd at betdos

    Did you know there is more consumption of S-P-A-M on the islands of Hawaii than anywhere else in the world.

    fascinating, thanks trump

    but it isn't helping .. I'm getting 4 or 5 of these pests every day and regardless of telling them to get stuffed and clicking on their "unsubscribe" links they just keep coming

    who's responsible for this sudden influx then?
    the only new thing I've put my address down for in recent months is this Become A Pro stuff .. wish I hadn't

    Yes it is true. You can even get an order of S-P-A-M with your value meal at the local fast food joint.

    But back to what you're saying I am receiving one or two per day, and am yet to decipher if it is "normal" football season promotional junk, or SBR derived S-P-A-M which the latter being very bad, and if true we all ate up this SBR PRO crap only to be pimped out to the SBR affiliates.....

    I would hope not either but I can't put my finger on anything else as the cause

    Just woken up to find another 3!

    Why would it suddenly have escalated like this for me?

    And SBR hasn't posted any denial
