Dealtastic Spam

Who the hell are Dealtastic? I get spam emails from them every day even after I unsubscribe multiple times, they just won't go away. I can't ever remember opting in to receive their rubbish "Betterware" style deals.

If they don't stop I'll make sure their name is spread all over social media for the wrong reasons.

    Just add them to your spam list. No more emails from them. Sorted.


    If you didnt subscribe then the last thing i would do is unsubscribe.

    Delete them and move on.

    Spreading them all over social media is just doing their advertising for them.
  • I bought a steam mop from Dealtastic, and ever since have been receiving junk emails. Their unsubscribe button has one too many backslash in the web address, so does not work.

    I have now bounced their email back to them with UNSUBSCRIBE across top and told them I will be reporting them to their ISP. The only other alternative is to mark the next email from them as "Junk" :(

    Report them to their ISP?

    Their ISP may have nothing to do with their website which may have nothing to do with their email system.

    I have several websites and they have no connection to my ISP in anyway.

    You would report it to the ISP/bulk email provider the emails are sent from. You can find this information from viewing the email headers.

    They are at it again.

    I managed to "unsubscribe" from them last autumn, but this week they have started spamming me again. 3 emails and one from some e-cig company which came from the same sender.

    What makes them think I'm going to buy something from a spammer that I have already told to go away.

    So why not set your spam controls?

    Unsubscribe is the worst thing to click. It shows them they have an actively read/checked email address.

    I unsubscribed by phoning one of the directors at his home address.

    Seems like the only way forward. :D They don't list a UK landline and want you to email them your number so they can call you back. If it were me I'd be calling him 100 times day and night using my unlimited mobile tariff...
