il crosspost this from GAW scam thread for anyone who is annoyed by this:

I got emails from BTCLend from an email only used with Paybase. They somehow got the Paybase database. Totally not connected to Garza in any way.

It told me a friend referred me, is Homero my friend?

I just got another one, from yet another throwaway Paybase account. At the bottom it says

You have received this email because you have subscribed to BTCLend, LLC  as **redacted**@opayq.com. If you no longer wish to receive emails please unsubscribe

This is an outright lie. I'm thinking of sending a threatening response. What's the proper procedure for responding to illegal emails under spam laws again? I know some people were going over it when hashtalk switched domains.

in the US, try this:

Thanks. It was sent from sendgrid, I reported it to them following instructions at https://sendgrid.com/report_spam and forwarded it to    spam@uce.gov. I also reported it to gmail.


So if you are in the US or if the business is in the US, like say if it claims to be in CA or CT, it would be multiple violations of the CAN-SPAM act?  Reportable to the FCC: https://www.fcc.gov/encyclopedia/can-spam
