Singles, beware of eHarmony SPAM!

[Brinybay]

I had pretty much given up on the online dating/matching route, but decided to give eHarmony a go just for kicks. I went through their lengthy profile and played by the rules, answering the questions as honestly as I could, even though I felt some of them were irrelevent.

Anyway, I said all that to say this. EHARMONY WILL SEND YOUR E-MAIL ADDRESS TO SPAMMERS! I know this for a fact because to take the questionaire/profile, you have to first register. I used a brand-new Web e-mail address that I had never given to anyone, online or otherwise. Right after I waisted my time with eHarmony, I started getting all kinds of SPAM at my new Web mail address. This particular spammer is hard to block because they use a slightly different address each time. So far I've had 7 spam messages, all from *@*.shankscape.com. 2 examples:

wjvqmpqb@colonganh.shankscape.com
jjwjdvcdk@gegelktlz.shankscape.com

Even though I use a secondary Web based e-mail (I NEVER give my primary one out, except to trusted friends and family) for such purposes as registering for various Web sites, I still resent the spam. I had a Hotmail and Yahoo address for years and recently had to drop both because the spam became too much.

Oh, btw, Happy New Year!

That and eHarmony seems to suck in general.

I don't know why, but that old dude on TV - from eHarmony, gives me the creeps.
He is just so...scary. That smirky smile & soft voice...there is something very, very disturbing about him.
