To all of you who i have "scammed"
I found your emails on a public site, "inviteshare" to which you registered and posted your email addresses expecting to receive invites from people willing to give away invitations. What do you expect...? I wouldn't call myself a scammer, more of a microscopic spammer, as i sent this to about only a few email addresses, of which most were spam addresses because people knew they were posting there emails for public to view. so all in all, you were not smart enough to use a spam address and you were likely too late to respond to receive one of my invites... Plus, when i sent this to 20 people, i obviously dont have 20 invites to the specific bittorrent site... To those out there that did receive an invite from me, please show yourself to prove my legitimacy!!!

I find this quite funny that you are all acting as if i wanted to trade an invite to a stupid bittorrent site for your credit card number... I never pressured anyone to join lockerz from my invite, i just layed out the details and said good luck. make a lockerz account or not, you still have your credit card, your computer, your everything! WHATS THE BIG DEAL?!?!?
sorry that you never responded fast enough for an invite.

I tried a simmillar post in the previous thread but it was removed and my account disabled so now i am here... hopefully someone can quote this or keep a record of it before it is removed.
THanks

Yes the site I concluded was inviteshare. It seems it was you then.

I can't believe they list emails in public there. Then again only noobs would even sign up to a rubbish site like this in the first place.

I signed up 3 years ago (I never got any invites though

) and recently was looking through my past records of sites I've signed up to before, and changed the email at this site as a preliminary step before intending to getting the account deleted...After this incident i REALLY want to have my account deleted off there. :/...though there's a way to remove your email off the public lists so that's good...but I've PM'd three supposed admins of the site and the contact form, with no response...seems one would have to go so far as contact techcrunch site staff. I wish they just shut it down, no one even runs it, by the looks of it...they just keep it running it on their techcrunch server. maybe it generates more ads than it costs to run it.

Funny ending to the story: I still haven't gotten into hdbits all these years

sooooo, no harm done then =)
Lesson of the day: If you dont want spam dont post email address in public viewable places, and if you do post email address, dont complain about spam...

(and back to spaming I go)
