Tell HN: Spammed by a Hacker News Enthusiast
36 by ColinWright | 22 comments on Hacker News.
Someone has scraped my contact information from my profile and is sending me an unsolicted "HackerNews" newsletter. People ... don't do that. Yes, you have an unsubscribe link, but that doesn't excuse the unsolicited sending of a screencap of your rendering of "top stories". At the end you say: "You're receiving this email because you signed up on HackerNews" That is a lie, and a tactic used by utter scum. Be better. ======== Edit: Note that this isn't random spam. It's specific to HN, showing a screencap/image of the HN front page. And then it lies about "signing up". If it were random spam I'd delete and move on. It's not, it's deliberately targetting the HN audience, and that's why I've mentioned it.
