One thing you don’t do is screw with people when they are getting married. That kind of shit gets people the special places in hell, and WedSafe‘s management team will certainly be in the warmer beds of Lucifer’s palace.

Fast forward to March 11 of this year.  I get this email:

wedsafespam

I don’t remember ever signing up for WedSafe marketing emails, and if you want to get all lawyery technical about it, this would seem to be a violation of any junk email laws that are still on the books, if any.  Not only do they like to take your money and close up shop for the weekend before giving you the product you paid for, they like to send you unsolicited advertising too.

I especially like the statement at the bottom that reads “This message is intended only for the addressee and may contain information that is confidential or privileged. Unauthorized use is strictly prohibited and may be unlawful.”  Well, I didn’t sign the contract agreeing to those terms.  I will, however, take them up on their offer to “Do a friend a favor…” and ”… forward this message…” to the rest of the world so they can see what a bunch of crooked shamming bastards they really are over at WedSafe.

Please, do yourself or a friend a real favor: tell them to not give the people at WedSafe any of their hard-earned money.

Keep going, Apple.  I need you to reduce my finance charges!
