Pugster still contacting me

Since my post called Why won’t Pugster leave me alone?, I have received about 5 more e-mails from Pugster.  I’ve clicked Report Spam on all of them, but they keep sending them to me from new e-mail addresses.

I called Pugster again today and spoke with Cami.  She advised me to create a filter which clears out every e-mail with the word “Pug” in it.  I said, “So, if a friend sends me an e-mail regarding the character Pug from a fantasy series by Raymond E. Feist, I just won’t get it because Pugster keeps spamming me?”

She said to create a filter screening out the word “Pugster.”

“So,” I reply, “if I get an e-mail from someone saying, ‘Did you fix that Pugster spam issue?’ then I won’t get it?  It’s an imperfect solution.”

She promised to contact Pugster and ask them to stop contacting me.  I asked her to have someone call me and let me know what happens afterwards and gave her my phone number.  We’ll see if they stop.  In the meantime, I reported a 6th e-mail address to a spam filter today.

Still haven't heard back from Cami or anyone else at Pugster. They took my phone number and promised to call back to let me know what happened.
