sales critter Ben Reynolds
I'm sure many of us got email from this critter, since he seems to be scraping posts to get email addrs to annoy with spam. List moderator: can you please yank them? List: got another company/critter to add to the "never do business with ever list"... --
This person spammed all sorts of weird addresses for projects that I run (eg: Open Resolver) so clearly has no clue. That domain is currently banned on my mail server so it’s unlikely they can get anything else through. - Jared

I can confirm that I also received spam from that organization. Can't remember if the name was the same. On Sat, Oct 19, 2019 at 11:54 AM Jared Mauch via Outages < outages@outages.org> wrote:

Count me in too. Gmail was kind enough to identify it for what it was and send it to spam. On Tue, 22 Oct 2019 at 00:35, Christopher Conley via Outages < outages@outages.org> wrote:

I messaged Ben on LinkedIn. I got the following response: "Man, to be honest, I’m not responsible for acquiring potential prospect contact information. I am in sales and follow up with current leads. I apologize if all those emails got on our mailing list. Just respond “stop” and I’ll get whoever taken off the list. The response emails come to me.” I’m under the impression that he himself did not do this but rather someone who dumped the mailing list addresses as “leads”. If you do email Ben personally, please don’t be rude with him. Though someone at the company still did a very bad thing. Best, Tanner
