I don't think this makes a change, i've already spoke with an online operator on their scam-spam, -i don't know what-, site.

Highlife seeds scam? Or is Attitude starting to "sell" our private info?

Is that a do or a don't?
Cause that guy asked for his account to be deleted and never did.
Actually i don't want to leave RIU i just want my privacy intact.
And to answer your question, i'm still posting cause this is the place with the most, if not all, people who got same mail i did and trying to straight this out

IMHHO it is probably a sister company of the Attitude after perusing it...I have the feeling that they have this so as to market their own line of beans? Nothing to panic over
Such similar graphic design and style...would also explain using the mailing list as if it is the same owner then no bad done
No announcement form them as they apparently do not need to ...this is working better..lol

I meant "don't", in the request section I had noticed some members requesting their accounts be deleted with no success. I just assumed they don't delete accounts but I'm not sure if that's part of the rules when you sign up though.
I'm fairly confident that there is no conspiracy behind this, if there is then I guess I will also have to find myself a new seedbank...

Illumination - this may not be such a big deal to you, but it IS a big deal to some of us. These fuckers have ALL of our info. The info that was supposed to be SAFE and PRIVATE.
Normally you get a spam mail and all they know is........................YOUR EMAIL. These fuckers have EVERYTHING. Name, address, phone #, city and state. And you tell us to relax and smoke some? The only database that had my info was ATTITUDE.
Whether it's important or not I have removed everything about me from the web. I logged on to Attitude and saw that ALL my info was saved in their database. It is now removed. If you have any info on the web....Facebook, Twitter or anything else that uses the SAME email or info that you had with Attitude, I would remove it immediately. Don't take any chances.
This was not just "SPAM". Our info was taken and intentionally used to "scare" us. Each email contained our name, state and city. They purposely used that to show us just how much info they had and what they could do with it if they really wanted to. Think about it. These fuckers have a list of names, addresses and phone numbers. They have all the power they need to fuck over any of us who got those emails....legit growers or not.

Yeah it actually is. But I didnt get it sent to my other email that I have also used to place orders and register here at RIU as well.

Good luck but I doubt they will even realize it...I have already boycotted them for a totally unrelated occurrence and I know they will never notice it and neither will this be noticed but if thats your plan of action it is laughable at best...and pretty easy for you to say and do as I doubt you have ever placed a seed order from anywhere
This is really crazy...All of you have received unsolicited emails from companies you have never even heard of and without so much as a second thought just marked them as spam...No one wanting to boycott or sue or whatever other absurd bs being contemplated here....and they all do it all the time, sell your info and share it....Your isp has EVERYTHING YOU DO ONLINE LOGGED....EVERYTHING...what are you going to do about that??
Just smoke a bowl jay or vape chill enjoy your plants and stop worrying about this ...it is nothing...

No, did you not comprehend that I ALREADY CEASED TO DO BUSINESS WITH THEM FOR A TOTALLY UNRELATED MATTER?? And how is it making it worse? Putting it in proper perspective always helps, does it not?You do have a point, but i hope you do realize that your just making worst posting things like that.
Are you an Attitude's employe ?
Sorry but I feel I am wasting my time here so best of everything to you and yours and have an awesome existence

You're most probably right. . .IMHHO it is probably a sister company of the Attitude after perusing it...I have the feeling that they have this so as to market their own line of beans? Nothing to panic over

The thing is they lost quite a few customers by this and i can assure you on that.
Some times you got to lose 0.25 lbs to gain a pound. . . i just can't see any logic on spamming instead of advertising their breeder site on their website, as i said, they're the most visited online seed bank

I want all my old posts deleted and all history of me gone with the wind, I've contacted people through the contact form but never gotten a response and i've asked a few times to have it removed. I'm very unhappy, but have not gotten any results from RIU... So I am here by no choice of my own because as long as they keep me on the server i'm not happy.

If this was true then the attitude would not have told people to delete the spam emails and dont open them

So they lost a few customers, big deal. Do you know how many people get new medical cards each day? I'm sure it's in the hundreds, if not thousands per day here in California and each one of them needs seeds or clones. First thing they'll do is hit the web and most likely find Attitude. For every customer Attitude lost because of this conspiracy, they gain 2, if not more.
Yeah you too, that was a joke by the way, just have some grass while you're off, it makes you see things crystal clearNo, did you not comprehend that I ALREADY CEASED TO DO BUSINESS WITH THEM FOR A TOTALLY UNRELATED MATTER??

So there are people in the UK that want to get us. I take this as you mean to have us arrested for our wares and what is their benefit from doing this to us? And what would be anyone's purpose and benefit to "scare us"? It is only a form of marketing that if was from anything other than a seed bank would have not raised anyone's attention. I have received emails from unsolicited sources that named my children for heaven's sake. Paranoia abounds. Advice if this has you freaked out and worried and paranoid QUIT GROWING POT!!! IT ISN'T MEANT FOR YOU!!
All the best to you all

i totally agree.....and OP he is just giving facts along with honest opinions...how many things do you get in your spam folder..i bet if you opened those they would have your information also...google...yahoo...facebook, web browsers...all these things can obtain your information whether you want them too or not.do you really think they are out to get you just because of a email in your junk folder...they would find more clever ways to get you then that. not to mention do you have any idea of the mass amount of people that order from seed banks on a weekly basis...they could never comprehend where to even start to go after people for seed orders.So there are people in the UK that want to get us.
