I'm convinced it's either Beatport or AudioJelly selling e-mail addresses. It seems like daily I get new promotion email from different DJ's around the world. And it's to an e-mail account I only use on those two sites.

It's a little concerning considering they handle payment information....

Why would you do that? I mean, fine, if you were registering for forums, freestuff, torrent sites, but to a legit site you set up a dedicated email address? Hmmmm, I don't think I believe you.

I use both audiojelly and beatport, and I have no problem.

Think again.

If you really do only use this address for those two sites then why not create a new address, and change your registration details.

Then you'll know for sure.

Believe what you want, but that's what I use it for.

Dear Friend,

I am writing to ask for your kind assistance to enable
me execute a very lucrative and high profiting supply
business with you. It is with great pleasure to share
this business opportunity with you. Please No Obligation.


I am very confident with trust and understanding, we
will execute this business to our mutual benefit and
believe that you will not let down the trust and
confidence I am willing to repose in you.

I work for an Agricultural Firm as the Corporate
Affairs Manager. Between the 17th - 19th of Nov, 2008 a
seminar was held in Bouake, Cote d'ivoire of which I
attended. While in the Seminar, I was opportuned to
meet the President of Ajara Group Farms, Alhaji Kima
Kamate.

Alhaji Kima Kamate is an accomplished and widely
known millionaire farmer in this part of the region.
He has farms in different countries of West Africa.
But above all, he is one of the greatest supplier of
cattles,beef and other diary products in this part of
the West Coast. On knowing my profession, He took me
into confidence by informing me about the purchase of
a particular but very rare medicine for his cattles.

He informed me that he buys this product at
$5,000.00USD per carton, and that he mostly buys to
the excess of 850 cartons. He also informed me that he
was only asking me to find out if my organisation
could source for him a cheaper supplier considering
the recent trend of falls in the general price of beef
in the world market which is affecting his business.

Back in my office, I discussed this proposal with my
boss and he decided to handle the supply by himself.
We carried out a market research and discovered that
we could purchase these medicine somewhere cheaper in
Europe for $2,000.00 USD per carton. We moved proposal
to Ajara Group Farms to make the supply to them at
$4,800.00 USD per carton of which he accepted.

Owing to my role in the transaction, I had an
agreement with my Boss to be receiving 30% of whatever
gain is made on each supply of which he agreed. But on
the completion of the supply and the receipt of the
payment, my boss renegade on our agreement and refused
to give me my share of the profit. Since then our
relationship has been at its low ebb. I have since
accepted it as one of life experiences.

However as fate may have it, I intercepted a recent
letter of request from Alhaji Kima Kamate asking my
boss to supply him with 1250 cartons of the same
product as soon as possible. I seized the letter. And
personally contacted him and informed them that I can
introduce them to the producer who is ready to supply
them the product at $4,400.00 USD. If he will pay in
advance as he usually does. He was very pleased and is
right now waiting to be contacted by my partner.

We will buy the medicine at $2,000.00 USD from Europe
and sell at $4,400.00 USD to Ajara Group Farms with him
first paying 50% of our quoted price as mobilisation.
I will be entitled to 40% of whatever profit we make
after the deduction of all expenses.

If you are interested and capable of handling this
supply with me, kindly get back to me urgently so that
I can furnish you with more details and the contacts
of the manufacturing company in Europe and that of
Ajara Group Farms.

Kindly be notified that at no point in time should you
let Ajara Group Farms to know that you are not the
producer of the medicine and we should never allow
them to know the contact of our real source in Europe
so that they would'nt boycott us to deal directly with
them.

I will very much appreciate you include your telephone
number, so that i can call you for more detailed
discussion on our next step.

Anticipating to hear from you soonest.

Sincerely Yours,

Mr. Emmanuel Amani

Opt out on every email. If they keep sending it, keep reporting it as SPAM and email the Abuse department to contact the asshole and to have him clear his mailing list or remove you from the database. There's not much you can do :/ They'll always find a way to send you garbage.

So create a new email address, change your reg details with Beatport and Audiojelly and stop crying about it.

FFS this is the internet. Deal with it.

There are a ton of other ways your email address started getting spammed. Are you aware that the most likely explanation for your address getting used by spammers is that it started with an email send to your address by a spambot using random addresses? The minute you open it and download the picture content to view, your email address is flagged as legitimate and the proper spamming begins.

But like I said, you could deal with it in less than 5 minutes - or you could keep on ranting about it in a pointless thread........

The email you said you got a ton of..... it's not DJ related.

I mean come on, Beatport selling email addresses? I think they probably have enough money from the rip off prices they charge all of us.
