Just as happened with fellow social net scammers Eroticy and Mate1, Adult Action Cam ("AAC") has handed over my contact data to the spam gangs, if not running the spam operation itself. They all do this eventually. Could take a few months or a few years, but when they can't monetize your account any longer they sell what's left to take.
Also as with the other two (dis) services, the address I provided AAC was generated by an email alias service, used exclusively for AAC traffic, and never made public. Therefore I know exactly who facilitated my recent bumper crop of spam.
Some background is due here. I dallied with this so-called dating site in May wiping my account less than a month after the initial trial. Like others in the category, its reach exceeds its grasp and is likely fraudulent. My onsite account soon collected dubious "favorites" list additions and their version of "flirts", cheekily expressed in canned phrases like "longing gaze", "smile from accross the room" (sic), and "wet raspberry". There were also the usual come-on mails about how badly some college aged chica wanted me. Yeah, whatever. Same old story, poorly designed site full of bots and shills leading to none of the "action" promised.
Quoted here is my final version of my account profile:
About me:
Thanks For Nothing, Everybody
Yes, thanks for all the long-abandoned profiles prepared in under six minutes from people who were never serious about participation. Thanks for all the spurious and missing profile data. Thanks for the inappropriate responses from those who clearly had not studied my profile. Thanks for fooling yourselves by declaring preferences and wishes that vanish when challenged. Thanks for a clumsy user interface.
What I'm looking for:
... will never be found here. I'm stepping out while I still have some self respect.
// END QUOTE //
Here I quote the reasons I gave them for cancelling:
- Search options anemic
- No provision for multi-selection of drop menu options
- Site sets far too many cookies for comfort, tracking every step and wipe of user's nose.
- Overpopulated with inactive users whose profiles should be purged
// END QUOTE //
Upon my exit the site quickly made a crocodile tear retentions offer, slashing the monthly charge almost in half to $15... which would almost be fair for a legitimate service, but is still too much for these clowns. That was the last I heard from them until now. Thirty-seven months later, almost to the day I joined, I found 53 spam messages sent to my abandoned AAC address in a single day, and an additional 54 sent to the address assigned to FutureCast Media, the parent and billing agent. In the 25 days since then, I chart 273 and 265 unique spams sent to the pair respectively.
All of the spams emanate from a handful of domains: cramseed.com, hallsmog.com, longtank.com. All addresses are formatted as a girl's first name followed by one of these domains. Examining the first batch of spams that slid through, every last one of them says the same thing, a cheap promo for some site I have yet to bother loading:

The messages are all dutifully filled with text greeking, just in case a text quota is imposed on a given mail service. They were sent during overnight hours, suggesting bulk mail spew. What a joke, they aren't even trying to look legit. File another firm under the aphorism, "They don't want your business; they just want your money."
