All, I am not sure how on-topic this is, but would appreciate your feedback. Has anyone out there had any significant experience with a company called Plaxo? I am always getting these e-mails from various domains that actually originate from Plaxo.Com. I checked out their website, and they purport to be a legit business that allows people to share contact information in the form of online vCards.
The thing is, out of the dozens of e-mails I have received from alleged Plaxo subscribers, I have never once gotten one from someone I actually knew, or had any business with whatsoever. Their e-mails usually start out something like, "Hi again, I noticed that I didn't get a response from my last email to you. I'm using a new tool called Plaxo to update my address book." However, I have no clue who these various individuals are, and am wondering if this whole thing isn't just some giant phishing scam. Should I start rejecting these things? Do they actually have any legitimate users? Any idea if the company itself may be running a phishing scam, or if they just have tons of subscribers who are abusing it? I noticed on their website that they just signed some sort of marketing deal with a handful of companies, most of whom I have never heard of. The one I had heard of has long been on my blacklist for being a notorious spammer. Would appreciate your feedback.
