Just got a call from Girls Gone Wild.....called me gonzo and was to my new business Vonage line which I purposely put on my registration information at Internext. Ive suspected them of selling off my information after trade shows for a long time.
Dude wanted me to answer 30 questions so he could send me 2 FREE DVDs of Girls gone Wild.
The questions were to prequalify you for recurring billing to get more of the videos on a monthy recur. When I pushed him as to why he wanted my credit card information he asked me didnt I want some free porn? Of course when I told him I wasnt going to give him the CC #'s so then he wanted checking information.
I told him nice cascading billing and I wasnt giving him any information because the videos were for free. Of course he wanted to say that the information was used strictly just to verify my age.
I pressed him and said so I will never be billed and never be preshipped a video? He said no. So I told him I needed to ask him a few questions...
1. Whats your full name?
2. Whats the name of the business your working for?
3. Whats your street address?
This got me a long conversation with the supervisor who finally told me that the numbers and names come from an outsourced solution.
So thanks AVN. Now I get unsolicited phone calls because once again you prove that you have NONE of the best interests of webmasters in mind when you throw your conventions.
I paid you $150 for a pass and you sold off my personal information. Nice move so if your an attendee or an exhibitor guess what? Your more revenue for the greedy fucks at AVN.
Congradulations... you are now my new hobby!
