YouMint AdMail Spam [Resolved]

Enough…

I am really frustrated at YouMint.com for sending me YouMint AdMail..and tired for setting up GMail filters to move them to trash.

This all started when someone by name of “Shivprasadrahoriya Prajapat” used my email address for registering with YouMint. Below is that email.

From: “YouMint.com”
Date: 1 December 2009 12:21:01 PM GMT+05:30
To: xxxxx@gmail.com
Subject: Important message: YouMint Registration Confirmation + Sign-on Gift.

Notice that there is a email verification link, which I never clicked. So the account shouldn’t be active.

Alright, I had sent following mail to support@youmint.com

I have not registered. Please don’t send me any mail.

I got following reply,

Hi Shiv,

We would like to inform you that YouMint is a site of real people and it sends permission based e-mails to its registered users only.

It seems you have forgotten creating an account at YouMint.com. As per our records your account has been registered with YouMint.com on 1st Dec, 09 with the username “shivprasadra”. Hence, the mails received by you from YouMint are not “Spam mails”. These mails are “AD Mails”, which are permission based promo mails.

However, if you still wish to unsubscribe, you will need to send a request mail to deleteaccount@youmint.com from the e-mail id which you used at the time of registering with YouMint along with the following details: your username and mobile number.

From the reply mail it seems they didn’t understood my mail. Also interestingly they have provided email address where I can send mail to unsubscribe.

Following was my reply to both support@youmint.com and deleteaccount@youmint.com,

Hi,

Thanks for the mail. But someone else used my email id to register
with youmint… and I am getting these mails. You should verify the
email address of the user to check it belongs to him before allowing
him to proceed with account creation.

Can you please either don’t associate my email id with “shivprasadra”
or delete the account?

Hoping to get “you have been unsubscribed” sort of mail, following landed in my mailbox,

Hi Shiv,

To assist you with your query, we have suspended your account to avoid any further communication.

However, in case you wish to permanently delete your account then you’ll need to provide us with your registered mobile number to enable us to take the necessary step and do the needful.

I don’t know what suspended stands for in YouMint.com dictionary, but I am still getting YouMint AdMail… The irony is that they are asking mobile number which was used for registration for permanently deleting account…. so dear Mr Shivprasadrahoriya Prajapat can you provide me your mobile number so that I won’t be spammed with YouMint mails..

Update [10-Dec-2009]: Today I received following email from YouMint…

Hi Shivprasadra! As per request your Youmint a/c with user name Shivprasadra has been deleted.Please be informed that you have lost the entire network and the account earning (if any), which can not be retrieved again.

Team Youmint.com

Thanks a lot…
