In the last week I have received another 3 SPAM emails from the most reputable and honest ISP Afrihost.

This is after I have requested to be removed from all their lists more than 10 times in the last 2 years.

Even had a call from a so-called superior last time who gave the usual spin about a mailing list still having my address and promises to never hear from them again.

Anyone still not convinced about Afrihost's integrity and honesty - they have none.

Fortunately my complaint with the ISPA is still open.

and before anyone gets smart - i posted this outside the AH support forum as they have deleted my posts in the past ;-)
 
I've also got about 4 but I just mark as SPAM in Google so maybe Google will start (at some point) treating more of Afrihost's e-mail as spam.
 
Hey OCP (and anyone else who has been affected).

I am very sorry about this. I personally remove emails that request to not receive email from us and we also have the unsubscribe link at the bottom of the email which should work.

Please could you PM me your email addresses and I will make sure that they are unsubscribed and removed immediately and that we do not email you again.

Thanks
 
Hi Gian

I have personally responded to you in the past.
I have unsubscribed using the link at the bottom of the emails.
I have emailed and requested to be removed.
I have called and dealt with your obnoxious and rude support staff who promised to remove my address from all your lists.
I lodged a complaint with ISPA and Afrihost response was that my email address had been removed.

You have had enough chances to remove me from your lists and still I am getting your SPAM.

To come here now and say you are sorry is too little too late.
It proves that you do not care until you are caught with your pants down.

I have already forwarded the SPAM emails to the ISPA and will take the matter further there and urge all other affected people to do the same.
 
Why cannot I get a reply about the R700 difference in price between an Afrihost supplied LTE-A modem and that supplied by WebAfrica?
 
Unrelated to SPAM, but re things Afrihost ignores.

'cause they seemingly only answer the easy questions ; mine in the link below, unrelated to both SPAM and what you're after an answer to, was also ignored - even though I provided them with more than enough detail at the time :

The last time this thread came up I pm'd my email address to afriguy after getting an email from you. I've never been an Afrihost subscriber yet I still get spam emails that look like phishing attempts from your email.

Family member is also complaining about Afrihost spam... and has never been a customer either...
 
Evening!

If you are no longer interested in receiving promotional mails from us, and you using the Un-subcribe options aren't working for you, please drop me a PM with your email address and I'll make sure that you are removed from the Mail list.
 
Fkof gian.

U have ignored my requests also. You are being labelled as a spammer because that is what you are

Your company lies. No integrity at all. I have been accused of things I did not do! I want nothing to do with Afrihost. I have moved on to Hetzber and exhort others to do so!

Why the hell spam.me with unsolicited emails? i wait for the day, God knows, I wait for the day YOU are criminally prosecuted for all these egregious violations of the CPA etc. The spamming of emails is one thing. Let's not even start speaking of the beyond horrific customer service!

YOUR UNSUBSCRIBE LINK DOES NOT WORK!

IS THIS DELIBERATE!

YOU ARE HARASSING PEOPLE WHO WANT NOTHING TO DO WITH AFRIHOST!

I have SENT you an email! Unsubscribe me and leave me alome! Send le the information I legallt am entitled to! I have asked for weeks now!

They are harassing us! Thus is criminal under the CPA!
 
Looks like they're back to their old tricks.

Just received a marketing email to my address I have specifically set to not receive marketing emails to.
