argh!

Date: September 06, 2002 | 28 Jumada al-Akhir 1423 Hijriah
Blog: veiled4allah
Subjects: spam
Somebody used my email address to sign me up to a bunch of marketing services, and apparently they did a whois on my domain name and found my real name to enter when they submitted. I got 11 junk mails, half of which had my real name all over them and I don't give that out freely online. Fortunately most of them I was able to unsubsribe, which I hope works, the others I blocked.

One of them reported what IP address had signed me up, and I did a little hostname lookup. The host name for 203.14.174.236 is j174-236.nv.iinet.net.au. I certainly do not live in Australia!

This kind of invasion of other peoples' privacy is going way too far! mad

this somebody ALLAH swt yehdieh!

It happened to me once when I tried to make amer bil maaroof to somebody. I thought this somebody will discuss the matter with me but instead of I was registered in some places. This somebody is a Muslim and this hurts some how but I forgive this person may ALLAH swt forgive us all.

sorry for putting this in your comment but this was my first experience, it was a shock and it still hurts when I remember it, wel hamdulillah

It's really bad when people do things like that without a person's permission, and it's hard to get over the feeling of betrayal or violation. But we should always remember to ask Allah SWT to purify our hearts of negative emotions.
