Can we trust 6alabat.com?
I was really surprised to see this “Signup Now. Your information will be confidential” box as I was browsing the 6alabat.com page, as I still recall the day they sold us out for spam.
So I thought maybe that’s my mistake I didn’t read their privacy policy clearly. I went on to their Privacy Policy page, and at the bottom of the page, under Usage of Information you find this:
So part of the administrative purposes is sending us those emails I presume:
Or was it a judgmental order back then? I’m confused!
Thank you, but no thank you. I have made my mind back then. No more 6alabat for me.

I enrolled through talabat with america online email because i *know* anything that reeks of Kuwaiti/Arab domain will usually sell customers out – america online has a great spamming system, nothing goes through.
nemo: YES! And he hopes you like it! What makes me laugh is his message. Please find attached file! As in I was waiting for it?
hilaliya: Better than Gmail? I thought they’re the best!
I think 3baid is right, they deem THEIR spam is acceptable but other spam isn’t! Its sad but companies in Kuwait don’t follow their privacy policy correctly!
3baid: Well they said they will use my email for administrative purposes. How does spamming fall into that exceeds my knowledge
Marzouq: Well it’s up to us the customers to raise or force their awareness then. He’s on my spam list now anyways :)
As the X files say, trust no one.
Even “respectable” companies like Virgin spammed me, once I filled up one of their coupons after a purchase. THey started sending me junk emails several times a week, so I set up a filter to have their emails sent promptly to the trash.
Don Veto: Nice one. I like the quote “Trust is a weakness” I started becoming paranoid to giving my number. I become rude as a matter of fact sometimes when they ask me for email. I tell them…
Me: Is it for spam?
Her: No, if you don’t check the box we won’t email you.
Me: (If I don’t give them my email they won’t be able to spam me either way!) and I just dont give it.
Power of Gmail right? It’s why I dont care so much about spamming companies, but it still pisses me off as a concept.
MacaholiQ8: Thanks Mac. Do you mean you will be welling to take 20% of the lawsuit cost? As I doubt the judge in Kuwait would even consider it a valid case!
Either way I appreciate your support :)
Boycott spammers
feel like suing ;P
It’s the same when you receive bulk messages through your mobile!
