Spammers and Kickstarters -It Must Be Tuesday!

Guess whose been marked as Spam and blacklisted from CBO?

"Hello Terry Hooper,

This email is serving two purposes today.

First, to see if your email address is correct. If we receive a bounce back, we'll know to contact you on the forums to have you update it.

Second, to bring your attention to a Kickstarter we're currently running. D**** W**** is seeking help in funding the printing of our second trade paperback collection. We know not everyone visits all the different sections of the forum, and since we don't run advertising, this is the best option to reach out to our supporters.

Please take a second and check out:(DELETED BY ME)

We would be very appreciative if you'd consider helping out. No donation is ever too small. If the forums have ever helped you, whether it be us hosting your own section, posting ads to find talent, or even finding a job on here, we could really use your help in return right now.
Thanks for your time!"

As I do not belong to any forums you know where they got the specific email address from -CBO.  So this is Spamming pure and simple and I've made sure to delete anything that identifies these people or their project.

Spamming is spamming -especially asking for donations (if the first book was that big a failure give up).
