Starting a couple of weeks ago I've been getting mail that I assumed was spam from vresp.com but all of it was firearms related. glaco-gunleather@ winchester-ammo@ and some others. I'm wondering if I signed up for something at the NRA convention that I didn't realize the consequences of. Anybody else getting these and know where they originated from?
Hmm. I suddenly think I know. The last thing I went to was the Liberty gun show in Live Oak where I signed up for an AR-15 drawing, which required my email. Anybody else?

Yeah I hate that. I created a simple junk email account through hotmail just to use for things like that. Also what I use for craigslist.com

Yeah. Never do that. Same kind of "scam" at the malls where you fill out a card for a chance to win a car.jmorris wrote:The last thing I went to was the Liberty gun show in Live Oak where I signed up for an AR-15 drawing, which required my email.
I don't fear guns; I fear voters and politicians that fear guns.

Email lists are big money makers, assume that any giveaway is doing it simple to build an email list. That said, I filled out many things at the convention myself and have not had any spam as a result so some companies are more respectful than others. I actually complained to my other half about using my real email but was lucky not to get put on any spam lists.
