This is nothing. Move along, nothing to see here.

July 8th, 2006

The other day I was visiting some website, pondering an online purchase. I went through the entire checkout process only to get to the last step when I changed my mind. A real jerk, I know. Hey I’m just trying to do my part to contribute to the 78% of abandoned shopping carts.

Anyways, a few minutes after recovering from my e-postpartum e-depression I was checking my email, and I had a new message from the sender service@us.clickandbuy.com with the subject of “Click&Buy email-verification”. I couldn’t imagine why they would want me to verify my email if I wasn’t buying anything from them, so out of curiosity I opened the email. It read, and I quote:

WTF!? As if there isn’t enough spam out there on the Interweb! Now I have to deal with emails that occupy my inbox only to tell me to ignore them! I can easily do that without your help thank you very much.

ClickAndBuy is a 3rd party e-commerce service provider. Whatever online store I was using at the time obviously uses the ClickAndBuy services, something I would recommend against to any aspiring e-tail store owners. Look elsewhere for a provider that doesn’t send useless emails to non-customers. In my book, that’s called spamming. And spamming is bad mmkay?
