  It's happening to me too. And it's really irritating.

• Fallyn said on May 22, 2008....

  soulcast didn't just sell our emails to advertisers did they?

• Zayda said on May 22, 2008....

  I certainly hope not.

• I'mNotHungry said on May 22, 2008....

  ME TOO!
  It just started today!
  I thought perhaps in my haste I accidently hit a wrong button.......

   

• Fallyn said on May 22, 2008....

  well....no wrong buttons apparently if it's not just me.

• PAPERBACKWRITER said on May 22, 2008....

  
  
  Oh, what a relief! I was being paranoid and thought my laptop was hacked!
  
  I hope we get an update about this soon :( : /
  
  Thanks for posting, dear Fallyn!
  
  I´m wishing you a relaxing weekend (!).

  Hey--was it from a jewelry website? It happened to me, too. I thought I was losing my mind, for an instant.

• PAPERBACKWRITER said on May 23, 2008....

  
  Yes, Jade for me it was! From California (don´t want to mention it too!), just got it this morning.
  
  (((hugs)))
  
  (hope you are well :) )
  
  
  

• JadeLondon said on May 23, 2008....

  Hey, Paper! Yes, I feel to mention it might conjure it. A silly bit of paranoia, I guess. I hope you and yours are well. We're like two ships passing in the night; it has been so long since we have spoken.

• bluegum said on May 23, 2008....

• silverwhisper said on May 23, 2008....

• bluegum said on May 23, 2008....

  i just recieved a thank you for subscribing to them,i just now unsubscribed talk about being pushy real foot in the door guys.

  Funny, if you go to that jewelry site, you'll notice the SAME pop up to sign up for the SAME newsletter-ish thing that you get when you sign on from Soul Cast.  I don't want to piss anyone off, but back when I was researching this place, I found that this place and SC are affiliated in some way, shape or form. 
   
  There's your answer!  A big huge "OOPS" or maybe not?

• bluegum said on May 23, 2008....

  yes i noticed the pop up too daily,lets hope our emails adresses don't start landing in someone else's boxes.

  This didn't happen to me... weird.

• kruuyai said on May 23, 2008....

  Makes me glad I created a junk email address just for this site.   I never check it.  Ha ha... the laugh's on them!

• woman said on May 23, 2008....

  Got it too. Can't say I am very happy about it and feel a little bit less secure about SoulCast. Woman

• diabolicdame said on May 23, 2008....

  So soulcast is somehow indirectly spamming us now!! Oh come on!!

• skald said on May 23, 2008....

  This is very strange, I must say. 

• GrapeKoolaid said on May 23, 2008....

  I got this email, too.  I just went to their site and unsubscribed to all of their newsletters.  Hopefully that'll be the last time I hear from them. 
  

• dailyachesandpains said on May 23, 2008....

   
  Spam is why I LOVE godaddy.com and whois.com!  It puts a few names and press releases with the "WHOOPS!"

• Fallyn said on May 23, 2008....

  i've been on here a long time and this is the first that has happened.....same jewelry site.......same thankyou for subscribing.
  kinda pisses me off.....i felt safe using this site wihtout getting spammed.
  

• the_infernal_optimist said on May 23, 2008....

  I'm NOT happy about this. :-p

• SoulCast said on May 23, 2008....

  Hi Everyone. We never sell or do anything with your emails, we promise.
  
  Can someone private message SoulCast the name of the website? I think there might have been a mix up in our email management system as we have a few lists running on the same software.
  
  Thanks! We will get to the bottom of this asap!!!
  
  SC
  

• silverwhisper said on May 23, 2008....

  done!

• FlowersbyFarha said on May 23, 2008....

  Was it GoldenMine?  I haven't blogged here for a few weeks but just joined Twitter and got two messages like I'd subscribed to their stuff when at most I might have "followed" something in a related field.

• Fallyn said on May 23, 2008....

  thankyou soulcast!

• SoulCast said on May 23, 2008....

  Hey everyone... We're sincerely sorry for the mishap!
  
  Basically, there was a mix up between email list SC and GM. And so the SC list received a message for GM. This has been fixed and there is no need to unsubscribe. The mix up was completely undone. Sorry once again and you won't receive any more emails.
  
  Thanks for understanding...
  

• bluegum said on May 23, 2008....

  thank you soulcast .

• hottips4u said on May 23, 2008....

  I always thought once your email was used in that fashion it gets snatched up and circulated about ?  Cat outta the bag....lil late to close the gate -after- the horse gets out...email remains private -oops- semi-private....oopsie -published-....ooo-ps whored out....
  
  no biggy...

• bloc said on May 23, 2008....

  i think SC is saying that they run multiple mailing lists and that they mixed up two of the lists. This means the addresses didn't "get out" unless by "get out" you mean SC now has our email addresses ;)
  
  Oddly I didn't get this email. I guess it didn't affect everyone.
  

• destinydiva said on May 23, 2008....

  I noticed this too, and goldmine was one of them!!
  glad its sorted...but its a bit worrying still...
  
  

• brit said on May 23, 2008....

• silverwhisper said on May 23, 2008....

  thank you, SC. :>

• FlowersbyFarha said on May 23, 2008....

  Brit-- they did--and said so two hours before your post...
  
  Meanwhile, anyone know how to unsubscribe from post notifications?
  
  The link in the notification just dumps me onto the page and I don't see any opt out button.
  
  Thanks!
  

• bloc said on May 23, 2008....

  @flowers
  do you want to unsubscribe from a particular post or from all post notifications? If it's the former there isn't a way, but the latter can be done through the 'edit my profile' link on the upper left. I hope this helps

• cuppajava said on May 25, 2008....

  I have had the sapm thing too.These days no matter what type of antivirus product u use.They find a way of getting past it.Very annoying
