I just reported them to mimecast also

dgc1980

reply from them after asking for my email to be removed.

Email was from our lead gen agency. I will remove you from the list. Let me know if you need anything infrastructure wise in the future.

so they purchased the email list

QuadraNet was already very low on my list, but they just relegated themselves to “not on the list”. If it wasn’t for the spam, it would be due to their lack of English skills. “US company” my arse.

I always thought they were actually Hong-Kong based and focused on mainland China, but I might be mistaken.

oh it is 100% John.... Zhaodong Ma by the email headers

Same here.
Apparently didn't even care to proof-read their mail.

Another company to avoid.
Pity there's not GDPR in the US.

Can this be moved to an indexed category?

dgc1980

copy the entire email source, and send a spam report to [email protected] enough complaints will get their account suspended/banned

I shall never forget this cluster and the people involved. Almost as bad as the ChicagoVPS shitpit.

@dgc1980 I hope you don't mind but I have move this thread from "Rants" to the "General" category as I feel that this will be of interest to the general membership. This should in no way be considered an attempt to limit anybody from continuing to rant about this.

There needs to be a LowEndSpirit wall of shame. Quadranet should be right on top for this.

True. You're right. I did not think that deep.

The first VPS that I bought was from Crissic Solutions, marketed at LEB back in 2014.
After a while (Aug/2015) Crissic was acquired by Quadranet.
I thought that Quadranet was a company owned by US citizens...

It was until it wasn't some Tom foolery went on in the background and I used Crissic as well.

I wouldn't be surprised if they outsourced their marketing to a separate agency, who probably bought the list off of someone else.

Wrong market, AlexHost users need DMCA ignored servers.
Obviously QuadraNet does not match their needs.

One of the web hosts on LES, also a John, is indeed from the US

John could also hail from other Anglo-Saxon lands.
For all you know, @deank 's name could also be John, and he could be John Dean

lapua

LET is now a magnet for these kind of providers. All one has to do is pay the fee for LET owner.
