Dear Quechup

Dear Quechup Dot Com,
You blow. Seriously. I have gotten several email invites to your site from friends of mine. With the influx of social programs such as Facebook, Twitter and the like, people are happy to connect with others IF THEY SO CHOOSE.
Instead, you took my friends and clients by the balls when you decided to spam their entire address book, making it look like they invited me, when in fact, they DIDN’T.
That has to be the shittiest way of doing business that I’ve ever seen.
Not-So-Much-Love,
Karen
Readers: If you or someone you know has been played by Quechup ~ and YOU will know because you will get an invite, delete it! Then let your unsuspecting friend know about this spammy piece of shit company. One poor guy got his Gmail account suspended for Quechup’s spamming on his behalf.

They really shot themselves in the foot. Everyone is getting embarrassed by this company’s weird spamming method. Quechup is a cute name for a loser company.

Oh my fucking hell. I just got this thing TODAY and I signed up because I really thought my friend invited me. Now I’m having a goddamn nervous breakdown thinking about what it did with my account!!
Fuck, fuck, fuck!
Thanks for the heads up.

Oh is THAT what happened? I was wondering why I was getting all these invites. I just deleted them anyway. Glad to know I wasn’t offending people in the process.

Oh no! I got an invite a couple of days ago and I signed up. I hope they didn’t spam my friends and family. I’m going to go look into now. Thanks!

This company does blow. I can’t even believe that they would be so hostile as to presume account holders would want to use their email accounts as spam facilitators for their nasty ways. Yuck.

I agree with Neil…what a waste of a really cute site name. I got the first one last week with an immediate email from the person sending it who detailed the spammage. Thanks to her, I was able to avoid the 4 other invites I got the next day.
