Like an inside job

A segment of the PodCamp Philly community was spammed yesterday by a member of the community.

By his own admission, Rick Glasby scraped the registration list to offer his business services to recipients of his email message. In the mail he claims that to reduce his guilt, he will use a portion of the revenue received from the campaign to sponsor next year’s event. In other words, he spams you, you buy his services, he sponsors next year’s event with your money. It’s worth noting that he was NOT a sponsor this year.

It’s unfortunate that this kind of activity happens at all; now we have to contend with it from within.
