A warning on Euro Car Parts.com

I could list the sites and domains they post under as there are many but we're intelligent people - you either take heed of this message or you don't


buy once from these guys and they spam you for life - when I say life, I mean life sentence - they're the designer crystal meth of the underhand spamming world and I want to post this thread to try and show them that these levels of abuse will not pay and will LOSE them custom


they literally send email every hour, NUKE an account, what do you have to do to get this? buy from them ONCE - could be ebay and then expect the floodgates to open


more than that - they replicate their domains, change email addresses, regularly - so they know what they're doing - they're like a virus trying to alter parts/all of themselves to get through the spam filter - and they think we will actually one day think after all this abuse..... and it is abuse, that we'll somehow buy again one day?


sad fact is people do - otherwise they'd not invest quite possibly up to 50% of margin they make on selling cheap Chinese stuff into a malicious internet campaign


stop buying from these scum, they never stop spamming.

    with it being MSE I anticipate the Harold Bishops eagerly looking for a handle here too - so I'll say it for them "I shouldn't have given an email address" but it was part of what I saw as a regular sale, I gave my 2nd email address, and the levels of spam are so high, that it can only be taken as abuse - they are spam kings, never buy from them.

    Stupid question, but you've tried unsubscribing from their lists via the link at the bottom of their emails, right?

    I've ordered online from them and don't get any spam. (possibly because they sell car parts and not tinned food :D)

    Exactly this, I've done this since buying from them and don't get any further emails from them.

    Some people just like to moan about stuff rather than do something to help themselves sort the problem in the first place.

    Think I'll continue to buy from them (or more accurately carparts4less cos they're cheaper) thanks :D

    Ive used them before and not had any spam at all, come to think about it Ive not received any communication from them, maybe I unsubscribed from the emails.

    Bought many times from them over the last 10 years, I probably did unsubscribe at some point as I never get emails from them now unless it's a confirmation of an order.

    I have bought things from a couple of their companies on line and I don't get bombarded with emails from them.
    I get offers in my inbox which I subscribed to when I purchased but so far my experience has been pretty good, this is just my own experience by the way.

    I've ordered a few things from them over the past 3 years and I don't ever recall receiving a single marketing, offer or 'spam' email from them.

    Great pricing, miles better than Halfords, fast delivery.
    Excellent company.

    not a stupid question and thank you very much! what was happening is was they were hitting my mobile despite me having an outlook filter set up to put them to junk - so reading this I looked into the many many links down there, and figured it


    it this works- thanks loads :)


    and for the usual "its your fault" you should/would/could crowd - go to hell you negative idiots - I missed something as a human being I've figured why now and this probably solves my problem- all I wanted - you lot miss things too from time to time and nobody is perfect. I was getting sometimes 20 emails a day - & I shouldn't have to defend myself to you savage baying judgemental lot but I'm here now to thank the people with the positive advice. Cheers.
