12 Mar 08 Does Gisol sell your email addresses?

I noticed on another site someone suggesting that Gisol may sell your email addresses to spammers. I know email addresses can be picked up by spambots if you leave it on websites, but I am very careful not to do so. I started to get a few spam messages on my main website email address and on my personal email address, shortly after signing up with Gisol. Now, after cancelling my account with them, I’m getting more and more.

The guy complaining about it didn’t actually use the email he had set up with Global Internet Solutions anywhere else, so it surely must have been “sold” by them? Another way of making money at the expense of their “customers”?

If anyone has any experiences with this, please leave a comment below.

Thanks.

12 Mar 08 American Express doesn’t deal with Gisol any more

From posts on here and other sites it looks like American Express (AMEX) has refused to deal with Gisol any more. This must be to do with the amount of chargebacks they are getting. It can only be a matter of time before Visa International and Mastercard do the same. If they take away their rights to take credit card payments, it will effectively shut them down as they will not be able to take any further fraudulent payments from their “customers”.

Everyone who has been ripped off by Gisol must carry on making disputes and chargebacks. Do it even if you don’t think you will get the money back. Keep it up guys!
