Name and shame, part 2.

Quirk Volkswagen Manchester
1100 So. Willow Street
Manchester, NH 03103

is a spamming business. Quirk Volkswagen Manchester hires people to post spam messages in blog comments. Here are some examples of spam messages for Quirk Volkswagen Manchester from just the past 24 hours:

Spam from Quirk Volkswagen Manchester.

More spam from Quirk Volkswagen Manchester.

Even more spam from Quirk Volkswagen Manchester.

If you live in the area of Manchester and are looking for a VW dealership, I encourage you to avoid Quirk Volkswagen Manchester. A business that spams is likely to be dishonest in other areas as well, and who wants to deal with a dishonest Volkswagen dealer?

Why not use the contact form on the Quirk Volkswagen Manchester website to ask them why they consider spamming blogs to be a good idea? Even better, they have a live chat system: perhaps one of their “live operators” could explain why Quirk Volkswagen Manchester is spamming blogs? (Please be polite to the “live operators”.)

If you own a blog and have been getting spam from Quirk Volkswagen Manchester, it might not hurt to report them to their domain registrar, Register.com. It is interesting that they have chosen to use the “Domain Discreet Privacy Service” to hide who actually owns the domain; in my personal opinion, no legitimate business should feel a need to hide that information, and the fact that Quirk Volkswagen Manchester does gives additional weight to my opinion that they are a dishonest and untrustworthy business.

Their website appears to have been designed (badly), and may possibly be hosted, by Dealer.com: why not drop Dealer.com a line and tell them that their client, Quirk Volkswagen Manchester, is making them look bad? As a matter of fact, it might not hurt to ask Dealer.com if they’re actually organizing the spamming for both Quirk Volkswagen Manchester and Paul Cerame Kia?

It also wouldn’t hurt to file a report with YouTube’s abuse department, since Quirk Volkswagen Manchester has a YouTube channel. I won’t link it here, but you should be able to find it pretty easily by searching YouTube.

    I got an e-mail from the on-line sales bunch at Quirk. They wanted to know why I didn’t report it to them. I pointed out I had done exactly that.

    Me, too. And they’re still coming. And mine is remarkably similar to yours: I haven’t mentioned it, but I’m getting the Aston-Martin and recovery spams as well, in addition to continuing Quirk and Kia spams.

    Haven’t heard a damn thing from Quirk or Cerame Kia.
