The Grant Institute Spam.

posted Tuesday, 18 March 2008

I have been repeatedly spammed by The Grant Institute. I've called three times and asked to speak with the mysterious Anthony Jones, who signs the emails but never goes to the office. I've tried using the unlist function.

Today I called and said if I ever received another email from them, I would blog about it. Let's see if I continue to get their spam. Argh!

I have a feeling they don't care.

Found your complaint by googling the bogus "Grant Institute." We get tons of spam form them.

I email thed organizations (usually Universities getting good $$) hosting these events but they don't seem to care either. Covad.net is their spamhost. They don't want to stop them either.

You're not the only one: I wrote about TGI spam in this post: http://blog.s eliger.com/2008/03/23/reading-difficult-rfps-and-links-for-3-23-08 (see the fourth asterisk; note that I tried to create a hyperlink but this blogging system doesn't seem to allow them) and keep getting it despite saying that TGI's services are useless, as described in the same post. I sent an e-mail pointing out that, given my public comments about him, he's unlikely to have me as an attendee, but alas—I received no response.
