Gegy.com, once a spam publisher, once an kid friendly auction site, once a glorified product distributor/wholesaler, now a fundraising site!
The wholesale concept for Gegy didn’t work out that well, so now they’re using the same model, but pitching it as a great way to raise money for your non-profit organization.
Scamming non-profits, what’s next for Troy MacDonald and the guys at Gegy? Troy’s determined to get your money one way or another!
By the way, their toll-free number (866-429-0707) isn’t in service, neither is their toll number.
Dave Kellog (still in denial that that is his name) starts more trouble on his mad-cows site. Things get soooo bad that Patty Smith (who needed to take a break from “the boards” shows up in some kind of lame show of support.
“Cuff” (IamCuff) seems to think that mad-cows and mootalk are only out to harvest emails. Cue the light bulb!
He also has questions about $300 missing from a fund that Dave was privy too.
Dave’s nom de plume here is “Crazy Chicken”, aka “CC”, paypal is “PP”. “MC” is Mad Cows (a guess). Most people call Dave Kellog ”Fruit Loop” for obvious reasons. Listen to him weasel out of this with insults and dredging the past.

Here’s Dave’s attempt at resolving things…
I am sorry, but I have done nothing wrong. The MC has donated extra into funds from it’s own coffers, and has spent time and effort trying help people. Instead acknowledging that and RESPONDING to thread I started on several occasions on how to improve the funds and ideas, it is now being torn down and I am being questioned about my honesty.
And again, he says “What’s the big deal about selling email addresses?” as he’s done before:
BTW, if you were SO worried that MC would sell your e-mail address then why not just use a “throw away” e-mail address from one of the thousands of sites that offer free e-mail? That way your account would remain FULL here, and not self-banned.

On a side note, it looks like the password protected chat areas are only password protected at the category level. URL’s to specific threads are not. Nice to know!

You wouldn’t think it would be possible, you’d like Leo Cunha would learn his lesson. Bidchaser.com has been spamming unsuspecting poor souls again! http://bidchaser.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=1015 You’ll see once again how Leo apologizes for the confusion and his incompetence! Bidchaser supposedly uses that emailmaestro.com non-spamming mechanism, but obviously that isn’t working very well, or Leo didn’t pay for it, or Leo’s an idiot, maybe a little bit of all three. Don’t believe his bullshit! Dear Members, Please accept my apologies. We are testing some new designs and marketing concepts for the Bidchaser stores. These were scheduled to be introduced once we had received some iniitial feedback, and are aimed at helping our sellers market niche products to a specific audience. The mailer was mistakenly sent to our GEARup mailing list instead of the internal staff’s for testing. This mailer is a sample that has been under development with our marketing partners. As you see, it is in a very raw form without the “wrappers”, headers, footers, disclaimers, etc. Again, please accept my sincere apologies. I was hoping to announce this program under better circumstances, and will do so after we get feedback on its effectiveness from our marketing partners. I will be glad to post the “finished product” as it will be mailed to our marketing partners’ subscription-based lists. Regards, Leo Cunha http://www.otwa.com/community/showthread.php?p=283462#post283462 More on the spammer, bidchaser: UPDATE: Various sources from the links below have found out that the controversial Sell Through Tool hasn’t been banned, but eBay has stopped Scott Samuel from marketing the tool. There must be an investigation underway at eBay to determine if the tool is “ethical” enough to be used to manipulate eBay search results. The controversial Sell Through Tool offered by Scott Samuel and Ethical Technologies has been shut down by eBay. The tool (the actual too, not Scott) no longer appears on the EthicalTools.com web site, and neither does the “eBay Developer” logo that appeared on the site. Maybe Scott was using that logo against the eBay license, who knows? The PeSA group (formerly “The eBay Elite”, dictated by “jayandmarie” Jay Senese) use this tool and others from EthicalTools.com, but eBay says that the Sell Through Tool “violates the spirit of its search manipulation rules. “. http://auctionbytes.com/cab/abn/y05/m08/i09/s02 http://www.therossshow.com/showthread.php?t=38 http://www.otwa.com/community/showthread.php?t=32120 Related Stories:
