Fun with Bark SPAM

[Fred Garvin]

So yeah, Bark started spamming me with emails again. I’ve received at least 20 in the last three days. I do know about these guys and the reality of their “service” if you can call it that. So I answered an email with:

“I have no issues with you forwarding my information to potential clients. If they contact me, book a job, and then pay me, I will send you 10% of the paid total.

This is the ONLY way this will work. I will not pay you any money in advance, pay for any access to potential clients, or make any initial client contact.

If this does not meet your expectations, please remove me from your mailing list and stop sending me any emails whatsoever.”

I got a response back:

“Thanks for getting in touch! We have now removed you from our system and will not email you with business opportunities again.

If you do change your mind then you can sign up any time as a Pro at Bark.com and choose exactly which types of leads you want to hear about.”

LOL.....yeah, it’s a slow day today. I’m easily entertained.

So I take it their answer was no? Must have been a slow day Fred.

Yeah, was a pretty quick response....I knew as soon as they read that I wasn't going to give them any money.....they probably stopped reading right there.

Nada going on Thursday....caught up on paperwork.
