As soon as I’ve learned that Quechup.com has accessed all the contacts of it’s members and send invitation to join Quechup.com, I’ve automatically deleted my Quechup account.

Before I have joined Quechup, I’ve received a huge number of invitation from different people, most of them I don’t even know. It was through the invitation of a friend from BlogCatalog, that I’ve finally decided to join. Unfortunately, the invitation I’ve received from him was an invitation created by Quechup by accessing the contacts of my friend on his email and send an invitation to all of them. Clearly, what Quechup did was UNAUTHORIZED and ABUSIVE.

After I have signed up for a Quechup account, the invitation to join Quechup suddenly stopped from flooding my email. I thought things are going to be okay only to find out that it’s just the beginning. You see, I am using three emails for different purposes. The one I’ve used to sign up at Quechup is my Gmail account. When I’ve opened my other emails, I was terrified to see that I’ve received a lot of invitations to join Quechup. What’s worse, I’ve received an invitation from myself apparently though my Gmail account. Too bad, I was kind enough to patiently delete all the spam messages I’ve received. I’m really grateful that I’ve stumbled upon Justin Ryan’s post about the spamming strategy of Quechup.com.Now that I’ve deleted my Quechup account, I thought that was the end of it but it’s not. I’ve just opened the email account I have used when I’ve signed up for Quechup and found out that I’ve been invited by a lot of strangers to join “Spammy Quechup”. I’m surprised that the invitation email hasn’t gone straight to my Spam emails despite several times that I’ve reported these invitations as Spam messages. I hope Gmail can do something about this problem.

If you want to know how bad the reputation of Quechup is, try Googling the word ‘Quechup’ or ‘Quechup.com’. I’m sure you’ll get tons of information regarding the spamming activities of Quechup. You won’t even find a good review of Quechup on the first 5 pages of the Google search result. Here are other reviews for Quechup.com:
