--- Comment #16 from Craig Shaver <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 2008-06-18 12:34:13 PST --- This may be more of an FYI than anything; however, I think it is related to the efax subscription. It seems that someone can subscribe me to these things without me knowing about it. Mandy Fu at Habeas has provided me with proof of that. In bug 5921 I submitted that HABEAS_ACCREDITED_COI was showing up in spam. I finally got a reply from Mandy Fu at Habeas: Mandy Fu wrote: > Hello Craig, > > My apologies for assuming everyone understands all this bulk mailers > lexicon... > > Basically the sender is stating that you did opt in for the email > communication via a 3rd party registration.

And yes, there is an account at efax in my name. And no, I did not sign up for it. I also hit the send password/pin thingy on the efax login. I have yet to hear from them. Another thing that tells me they scraped an old newsgroup is that in the upgrade screen they showed me a zip code of 94088. That is the zip code for the Mary at Maude post office in Sunnyvale. I used to have a PO Box there up until July 2003. That PO Box and zip code would not have been used by me after that date. Take one of the emails I sent and try it yourself. This is spam. Some how they created an account without me knowing it. It could be similar to the arcamax/habeas spam. Both started at about the same time.
