Bidchaser Spams Again!

On May 2, 2005, in E-commerce, by David

UPDATE: I talked to Nick from emailmaestro.com, and he said they won’t allow BidChaser to use their information in any spam attempts. Let’s hope he knows what he’s talking about.

Leo Cunha now refers to “double opt in mailing lists” as ”targeted permission-based email. He was disappointed in the first batch of spam, he promises members that he’ll work to make his spam more digestible! Spam works! He’ll give email maestro a black eye! Beware of Bidchaser!

Mail Marketing

We wanted to thank all of our members who participated in the One Dollar promotion. We worked with the company EmailMaestro to coordinate mailings to a number of targeted permission-based mailing lists.

To be honest, as we review the data from the campaign, we are disappointed with the opens and click-throughs. We are now working directly with EmailMaestro’s staff to improve the content and subject lines of future campaigns. We are also in discussions with two other marketing firms.

Our next scheduled marketing effort will be the release of the DailyAuctionLotto program, in which we will showcase our members’ products and include components of the dollar auction as well as other promotions.

On May 21, 2004, in E-commerce, by David

This is the result of going to bidchaser.com today, every second the error.php page is displayed with this. Leo Cunha, the “webmaster” of BidChaser, used a “double opt in mailing list” to spam members of the OAUA. The worst kind of spam. Do not use bidchaser. You’ve been warned!

Warning: mysql_connect(): Can’t connect to MySQL server on ‘db4.bidchaser.com’ (113) in /usr/local/apache.1.3.28/htdocs/bidchaser.com/includes/settings.inc.php on line 12

Warning: mysql_select_db(): A link to the server could not be established in /usr/local/apache.1.3.28/htdocs/bidchaser.com/includes/settings.inc.php on line 16

Sounds like a big MySQL database crash.
