Six year anniversary?

I got a really bizarre e-mail today. And yeah, I didn´t even open it. Six years ago, Amazon removed all my customer reviews from their site with no option of appeal, claiming that I was a "biased reviewer". Yeah, fuck you too. 

But now, "Amazon Reviews" sent me a mail headlined "Thank you for reviewing..." and then the name of a certain book?! Presumably an automated invitation to continue reviewing their products. I got a couple already in 2018, presumably because nobody told the that system that I was already banned. However, I haven´t seen these mails for years! 

Ironically, the book Amazon thanks me for reviewing is - wait for it - Thomas W Chittum´s "Civil War Two: The Coming Breakup of America"?! Just as the election campaign is heating up! Oh, and isn´t it interesting that Amazon after six years still keeps track of what customer reviews they deleted...

The answer is: No thank you!

  2. Ha ha! Har läst den. Mycket "baserad" om än inte helt i min smak.
    OT:
    Här i gnällbältet har (V) och övriga pedofilpartier i kommunen fullt upp med att gömma undan förövarna efter senaste(?) våldtäkten av ett flickebarn på en fritidsgård.
    Fler fritidsgårdar åt folket! Eller!?

  3. I frequently get fake emails from supposed Amazon reps. Likely a hacker fooling around, some kind of scam clickbait. Wouldn't be surprised if Russia or Iran is behind it. The topic of the book being reviewed says a lot. Probably the state of Idaho today is the safe haven for white supremacist survivalists.

  4. Angelranger,

    Could be. I didn´t open the mail, and when I deleted it, the system deleted it completely (like it does with spam mails) rather than placing it in the "Delete" folder. And the book Amazon "thanked me for reviewing" has a rather relevant/ominous title...
