Anyone getting unsolicited emails from kjewish organizations ? I was getting from a chassidiah bm in Boro park and i unsubscribed. Today i got from midrashatzionit about ukraine. anyone else getting these? I got it on my personal and three work emails , and i can't for the life of me figure out where it would be from.
I tried unsubscribing but it wanted me to enter my email to confirm which is kind of fishy

me, too. I clicked 'update your profile' they emailed me a new link. I unsubscribed.

Let's see if it works.

Today's Ukraine mailing was from 'CH media'. Before reading your thread I was wondering what organization I donated to or subscribed to that sold out my email. But you got it at more than 1 of your emails, so that's really suspicious and annoying.

Just got another today from ch media. Guess im signing someone up for oodles of spam.

unsubscribe. It's supposed to work.

I'm annoyed at 'Plum District'. When you his unsubscribe, it wont accept it unless you give a reason. I marked it spam instead. I hope this keeps it away from my inbox.

Mark it a few times spam it will never come again to ur inbox.
If not in gmail you can set a filter that any email that comes to you from that email address goes straight to the trash

So i got 3 emails today from koshervacationsandrestaurants.com and i called them and they said they do advertisign through koshercouponz. I tried logging into my account on koshercouponz.com but not only could i not get in, but it said that there is no account with any of my emails. Does anyone know a phone number to contact them so i can talk to a person directly instead of their dumb contact us page?

The site you tried to visit belongs to a category that your computer is set to block.
koshercouponz.com/ is blocked because it is currently categorized as: Suspicious

So these jewish daily deal sites like kosherkouponz couldn't profit from selling items so they sell our email address?
Klassy!

springles · « **Reply #15 on:** January 05, 2015, 10:46:30 AM »

Ive been getting them the last few days too. Here is what the email says on the bottom:

springles · « **Reply #16 on:** January 05, 2015, 10:49:37 AM »

To be fair, they are not selling the emails per se, they are only offering to send ads to their lists on behalf of a company. Which one level less scummy then actually selling them.

None of the ones I get ever mentioned kosherkouponz. Would have made life alot easier.

When I click "Why did I get this"? it takes me to a page that says:

You were subscribed to this list because:

You are receiving this email because you opted in at our website

Kosher Vacations and Restaurants Inc
124 Grove ave
Cedarhurst, NY 11516

all the various emails say stuff like that. A load of crock.
There was a thread about cruises a few weeks back that was the same thing.

At one point they said something about mimi travel or mimi media or something.

And I have also been getting to every email that I registered with KK. = Lots of them for the free Bennys deal they once had.

After going to their website I believe this whole thing can be traced back to this company Kosher media. They claim Kosher kouponz as a client and they are advertising being able to send out email and text blasts to jewish consumers. They seem to be using their email lists across the clients they represent.
