NewBay Media LLC is in my opinion a clear and abusive spammer. I believe they obtained my email address from the John Lennon Songwriting Competition, and that is really lame.
Even though I never provided NewBay Media LLC with my email address, I let them know that I did not want to receive emails from them by “managing my subscription” and checking all the boxes that I could to stop them from sending me anything.
Today they sent me another email from Keyboard magazine. I again unsubscribed from their e-preferences, but I doubt its the last I’ll hear from them.
Who is NewBay? The website says that this is the management team:
- Steve Palm
- Paul Mastronardi
- Carmel King
- Eric Trabb
- Adam Goldstein
- John Pledger
- Larry Dunn
- Marcia Grand
- Joe Ferrick
- Denise Robbins
- Greg Topf
- Ray Vollmer
- Jack Liedke
Doing a little investigation, it turns out that NewBay is owned by Wicks Group:
- Craig B. Klosk
- Matthew E. Gormly III
- Daniel M. Kortick
- Daniel L. Black
- Jamie M. Weston
- E. Sue Cho
- E.J. Sloboda
- Max von Zuben
- Adam W. Crider
- Thomas P. Kearney III
- Lauren Grzebien
- Kevin F. Brady
- Carter F. Bales
- Edgar R. Berner
I agree!
I also never provided them my work email address, nor do I give random other companies my work email address; I have a trash-address I use on all but the most trustworthy sites.
I've unsubscribed from newbay media's spam mailings numerous times, which I'm sure just allows them to sell marketing to me for more $$ since they have now confirmed that my address is valid. Now I just immediately block every domain they send email from. But of course they change that with every campaign so it has limited effectiveness.
GRRRR ...
If anyone has email addresses for the name list above, please share it so we can let them know how it feels.
I totally agree. Their marketing people are ridiculous and clueless on how to purge out their opt-out emails.
