Welcome to the Colorado AR-15 Shooters Club Discussion Forums.
Getting spam from Tanner show - where did they get my address?
I just got my second spam from Tanner this week. I absolutely KNOW that I didn't give them my email address and I don't go to their monthly freak show. I'm absolutely baffled as to how they figured out how to spam me. Is anyone else here getting Tanner spam and how do you think they got my email address?
Have you given your email address to any other shooting-related group that might have passed it on or sold it to Tanner? Sign up for any newsletters or contests? It's pretty common for groups or businesses to buy sets of addresses from related organizations or websites.
Yeah, they probably bought a list from another firearms manufacturer, club or group that you belong to.
I had the same question. My current theory based on the timing is that Dudley did it. I was able to unsubscribe and haven't received any more spam from them.

I wish technology solved people issues. It seems to just reveal them.

I think I can help you out. Send me a PM with your email address and I'll do some research. I'll send you an email every single day with my progress. The investigation could take up to a year.

Because it is such a chore to flag an email address/header as spam and never see it again?
To their credit, the NSA is the only agency of government that listens to the American people.
I get shitloads of spam, and I'll be DAMNED if I'm going to unsubscribe from spam, because that just tells them your address is a good one, and here comes MORE spam!

Two words; Google Adsense.
Everything you do online is tracked by Google (and other companies) and that information is used to tailor advertising and spam to your tastes. Hell, I have some friends with an Alexa that have noticed if they talk about things they'll start getting spam related to that thing. They tested it by randomly saying the word "Barbados" a few times and within hours they started getting spam and ads online for "Travel to Barbados".
Modern liberalism is based on the idea that reality is obligated to conform to one's beliefs because; "I have the right to believe whatever I want".

A World Without Guns <- Great Read!
I've said it before and I'll say it again. Everyone who is concerned about their privacy needs to worry less about the NSA and more about what Google, Facebook, and Amazon are doing with your prviate data. I no longer search with Google, have never used Facebook, and do what I can to minimize what data Amazon can harvest off me. Duckduckgo is the search engine and Brave is the browser for privacy advocates. Firefox works well too if you use plug-ins like AdBlock and No-Script.
