I hate spam. And thats just via email. When it comes to my personal telephone number, Ill just go nuts if someone starts sending me SMS…and thats just what the danish club “Envy” started doing. One late evening I might have signed up for their sms service. How I wish I didnt have done that..
I tried cancelling my subscription on their website. No luck. Then I wrote them two emails. No luck. Then I called them, and the guy who answered promised to remove me. No luck!
Then two weeks passed. New sms received from Envy. I wrote Forbrugerstyrelsen (A national panel designed to help consumers fight evil companies), and told them about the illegal activities of Envy. Then I called Envy again, got hold of some other guy who also promised to remove me. No luck! And now they suddenly wont answer my calls any longer, strange huh?
I found out that this guy “Martin Nick” is behind these SMS. So i googled him and found out that he was involved in some affair where he didnt want to pay foreign workers what they should be paid for working here in Denmark. The plot thickens!
But as for now, they still suck. I just received a SMS with another OA (sender name) than the usual “Envy”. So now he is actually sending out SMS in the name of another club – NASA – another known danish club. This guy just wont stop…
As of January 15th, the harassing continues. I keep receiving sms. Latest one entitled “OLD VS NEW”. Apparently they are not stopping. And they are still arent picking up the phone.
Update 23/1: Once again I have received ads for new parties at Envy. I got hold of some Michael from Envy, and once again they claimed to have nothing to do with these text messages, but they admit that they are giving out peoples numbers to their fellow promoters (and clubs?) without permission…which also is illegal. So now my number might be out in the jungle of club promoters in Denmark… way to go, Envy!
