So Out of the Loop

That’s pretty much how I feel right now. I just got my email inbox spammed with a ton of coupon offers and solicitations courtesy of an offer I signed up for from InboxDollars. Hey do you know what a Dansko is? I didn’t, not until a few minutes ago anyway.

I signed up to receive offers and coupons through some third-party company and selected the categories “technology, gaming, and webdesign”. Today I got an offer from them and the email’s subject line read: Save 15% off Your Next Dansko Purchase of $75 or More. Sounding like a decent sale, except I had no idea what Dansko was. Opened the email and….it’s shoes. :wtf: Shoes? How does that fit under technology, gaming, and webdesign? I am so glad I got an email today notifying me that my account was credited (big whopping $2 too) for the signup. I’ve already unsubcribed from them. I mean really, anywhere from 10 to 20 (yes, I counted) emails from them daily is just a bit much.

Still though, I can’t help but to feel like such a total moron for not knowing that it’s a brand of shoes. I am so out of the loop when it comes to trends and fashion, it isn’t funny.

    Inbox dollars are terrible. I was in a similar situation (don’t know what it is, but they thought I wanted their emails), and I wouldn’t respond to the “Verify your account to join InboxDollars” emails. So they kept sending them. For a week and a half, until they finally gave up.

    I don’t think so that these InboxDollars can do anything. I also have joined but found a lot of problem in the verification of my e-mail. and when I got an offer, they never responded to it.

    :dragon: When I first got my first computer, and first learned how to use it, I got some offers on making money from home answering email and doing surveys,
    I NEVER made enough money to have it deposited into my account or to be sent a check.
    I asked to be removed from their list, but they had given my email out to 3rd parties and to this day I still get email spam from them.
    It’s best not to go there.
