FYI: I recently started getting spam from "FerrariChat" to email I gave out to ONLY this forum. Admins: either you got hacked, or please stop selling my email address to spammers
 
Can you send me a copy of it?

I know Rob just sent a blast out about the classifieds on Ferrari chat (which he also owns/runs). It's possible there's been a list merge/mix up.
 
Thank you for the heads up. Trust me, this email was not intended to go out to Inside EV's. The only email we've sent in the last year was a Sponsored email for Dream Car Giveaway and a Tesla charity drawing.

Earlier this year we switched email programs and hired a consulting company to do the switch. Actually now the emails between Inside EV's and FerrariChat are even more separated by different accounts. One reason we haven't got the Newsletters back going too quick.

I will find out exactly what happened and be honest here. From the sounds of it the Consulting company accidentally included Inside EV's engaged emails on the FerrariChat list. Our old system did use one account for both Inside EV's and FerrariChat, but we still successfully through all the years kept the emails separate.

If that turns out to be the case then it will be an easy fix to exclude Inside EV's contacts in the FerrariChat lists and this won't happen again.

That said, how do y'all feel about a EV classifieds and a full escrow and paperwork service like presented to the Ferrari guys in the email? ;) :D
 
Not personally interested, but I don't object so long as people are not pestered with promotional emails unless they sogn up for them.

Worse, I gave $1 to the sociopath in Chief using SMS text and now I get about half a dozen lying solicitations a day to send money.

With an SMS filter, I do a daily mass delete and know, ‘So you want me to give you money so you’ll just send me more lies?’

These rouge text messages don’t show up on my bill so they are probably paying something to ‘keep on knocking but you can’t come in.’

well, we confirmed they messed up and included the Inside EV's email list in our FerrariChat list. That should have never happened and I really apologize. We're working on the best solution now, but that will be easy.

Ongoing you will start seeing a Monthly newsletter from Brian and potentially a sponsored email that is EV specific, but none of those lined up right now. Thank you.
 
I've adopted the "white list" approach so anything else goes into a SPAM pot for frequent deletes. As long as I get my trusted content, the rest is just noise that I secretly rejoice at deleting. Now if I could just do that with over-loud, stinkin' ICE vehicles I must share the road with.
