This is a UK and Europe-based organisation.
It is owned by Dice Holdings of New York City.
It has been spamming me for ten years.
Unsubscribe buttons don't work.
I believe that they are part of some sort of regulatory scam.
Recently they have started to spam my latest and newest email addresses.
I am seeing a lawyer about sending a Cease And Desist letter to Dice.
If anybody wants to make this a class action, please feel free to join me.

Fair dos, but why don't you just set up a rule to delete anything from them?

I have, but I don't see how phones can do rules. Any ideas?

I get them too, never tried the unsubscribe buttons would surprise me if they didn't work. They are in my ever growing spam folder! I think the Cease & Desist from a lawyer could be expensive and not really work as the servers are probably in a part of the world which it will not be affected by it. Also Dice Holding have deep enough pockets (I should think) to make any legal action pointless, the only way is to get a huge class action!

Now there's a thought. I think a simple C&D letter would be a few quid. It's not so much about legal action, just giving the swine some of their own medicine.

Ah-ha, Principles, the first victim of a the legal system! I sympathise, I really do. You can ask to be removed from their database (I have done that, in the past) I think they have a database issue each month so they have to a new copy from archive which does not have the 'changes' made (is it me or does that sound like cr@p you advertise IT jobs, place an advert for yourselves!). In short, junk mail filter, and perfect the I'm busy at the moment speech (polite, avoid any details, the phrase in the range of drives them nuts!) , they will get the idea and not bother you as much as they are now.
Worked for me.

I agree with you. Regardless of winning or not, you should make a stand against this kind of thing. I had a similar problem here in Brazil, unfortunately (or not) it didn't go anywhere, but the emails stop.

What do you know? Yes! I even tried unsubscribing a few dozen times.

Well, I only fkn asked because I am not a mind reader. You only stated you tried the unsubscribe buttons in emails. Nowhere does it say you have emailed them.
"Unsubscribe buttons don't work."
So, did you even get a response to your emails, or did you enable Delivery Tracking or Read Receipts on the off chance their systems allow them, to see if anyone actually does get them/read them.
You could always try a written letter to their UK registered address.
And, if that that doesn't work, you can turn to the Information Commissioner to lodge a complaint against the organisation: http://www.ico.org.uk/complaints/marketing/4[^]
Now, do you have any more smart @rse back chat you want to try and serve up or shall we deploy a can of whoop-ass in your direction...

Dave, thanks for the last piece of advice.
As for smart ass back chat, you flatter yourself that I care.

It is Monday, it is the last full day of work, I have a relatively easy handover to draft, I get on the paraffin budgie first thing tomorrow....all these things add up to being in a happy mood.
And to top it off, I don't get any emails from them.... 
|
|
|
|

My budgie brought me home from TO two weeks ago. I've only been able to face the traditional cake distribution today. If you're going anywhere nice - remember, drink plenty.

So is it the ten minute discussion or the full hour?

I'm not allowed at argue unless you've paid.
The only instant messaging I do involves my middle finger.
English doesn't borrow from other languages.
English follows other languages down dark alleys, knocks them over and goes through their pockets for loose grammar.

But you're arguing now

Being a Monday it will be a full hour. As the week progresses the duration will reduce towards the weekend, and by Friday afternoon, discussions will be the equivalent of a tweet as folk enter the 'DIGAF'* phase. The 'DIGAF' phase is usually followed by the 'IOOH'** event horizon.
This phenonemom (easy for me to say?), is the "DIGAF Principle".
*DIGAF = Do I Give a F...?
**IOOH = I'm Out Of Here.
|

|
|
I'm at the permanent DIGAF stage and have been IOOH or a couple of years now and if someone complains about it the FOAD principle that kicks in!
