Can’t Unsubscribe from Spam? Me Too!
Look at you, you came back! We knew you just couldn't keep away for long. Why not make visiting us easy by subscribing to our RSS feed (or the audio RSS feed). Stick around and be sure to speak up and post a comment or two!
I don’t mind being put on somebody’s email list, considering of course that I actually gave them my email address to begin with. But I also would like the opportunity to unsubscribe to that list at my convenience. I don’t want to keep picking on GoDaddy, because I really have no beef with them other than my really really bad hosting experiencewith them several months back.
But today I got a Valentine’s greeting from GoDaddy (how sweet of them) in my mail box. I can use my cloudmark toolbar to mark it as spam, but I know that I signed up with GoDaddy so I’ll do the polite thing and unsubscribe through their own system.
UNSUBSCRIBE INSTRUCTIONS
You are currently subscribed as: xxxx@polepositionmarketing.com.If you do not wish to receive our special notices, please unsubscribe here.
So I click that, and guess what happens? I get this:
The email address “xxx@polepositionmarketing.com” was not found in any of our lists.
Try going to the “Update Customer Information” area located under “My Account” to change your account settings.
But I don’t have a GoDaddy account! So I guess this means I’m stuck on their list with no way to remove myself. Oh, wait… I go back to the email and find this:
…unsubscribe here, or mail us a written request to the attention of: GoDaddy.com Customer Contact Manager, 14455 N. Hayden Rd, Ste. 219, Scottsdale, AZ 85260.
It makes we wonder if their system deliberately won’t allow me to unsubscribe.
GoDaddy, we broke up a long time ago… now you’re just stalking!
