| Blastoff Network......it's not exactly "illegal" but it is definitely shady. I got an email to join this organization and "save hundreds", because I got the email from someone I knew I trusted the email enough to actually try it. After clicking on the link included in the email I noticed...they already have all of my information...my name, my email address, my date of birth, how did they get this information, why do they have this information? Very shady. So I start reading around in the fine print things that most people just ignore and discover they have this information because my friend gave it to them when they sent me the original email, that is definitely not ok. But, I'm still trusting this person to not send me to an internet scam, so i proceed with the application and finish it. Shortly afterwards I discover you don't "save" any money at all unless someone else that YOU invite to JOIN the Blastoff Network signs up and then buys something. So after deciding this was a waste of time I tried to Un-Register from the site and found that there is no option to do that. Great...now they've got me and I can't break free. Spam filters don't fail me now! |
