umart - either crooked or incompetent

[miriam_e]

Don't buy from umart.com.au. They appear to sell their customers' confidential details to spammers.

I use a trick to see if sites that require my email address are misusing that info. My website allows me an infinite number of email addresses and I make sure I use a separate one for suspect companies. If I later receive spam to one of those addresses I know that company has either crookedly sold their customers' details, or has been incompetent in protecting their data. Either way it is a betrayal of their customers' trust.

I've emailed them about it to give them a chance to explain. I figure they should get the chance. They haven't replied yet. If they do I'll post their response here.
