FraudRecord is at it again

[Joshua-Epic]

Hey everyone,

Anyone else get bombarded with spam emails from Fraud Record for Psychz Networks just a little bit ago? I received 4 emails and all stating:


"You've received this message because you've registered with FraudRecord and accepted to receive e-mail from our sponsors.
If you no longer wish to receive e-mail from us, you may unsubscribe here:
http://www.fraudrecord.com/forums/index.php?action=profile;area=notification"
Even though on Fraud Record, if you look at the notifications page, it clearly only states "Receive forum newsletters, announcements and important notifications by email" and not sponsor emails. I dont personally want to report the email for spam, but I am sure someone else will.

Got it too...Money is what matters

Which I understand that, every one has to make ends meet, but atleast request permission before sending out our emails to some provider. In most cases, I just won't buy from a place that mass mails spam around.

Here's a quote from December when @harzem lied through his teeth and said no more unsolicited emails would be sent.

As for the "emailing practices involved", this was a single e-mail which will be the last according to Harzem. If he does send another e-mail then there's something to discuss but so far Harzem hasn't given me any reason to distrust him.

We ended up getting flooded with these as well.

Are there other options besides FR that we can use?

Maxmind is about the only one.

There is also FraudLabsPro (fraudlabspro.com), which has a free WHMCS module.

On matrix they have, looks pretty comprehensive.   But it's going to cost  Not too bad really on cost, but cheap folks will complain.

I do not believe so. FraudRecord has been pretty good at keeping the fraudulent clients out for us.

Very annoying to receive these, does this not constitute as spam?

This is an old(ish) thread... I don't recall anything has been sent since the February sending. I'm hoping Harzem finds a way to continue the project without needing to send out unsolicited emails.

vpsBoard recently has become a FraudRecord supporter and advertiser, it's a great project and deserves funding since it's such a great resource but hopefully this can be done in less intrusive means.

Anyone have any info on FraudLabsPro vs MaxMind?

Anyone have any info on FraudLabsPro vs MaxMind?

A lot of companies (us included) use MaxMind to help prevent fraud. MaxMind will help greatly in identifying open proxies, geolocations for high risk countries and distance from billing address, etc.
