Title: Would this be considered a legitimate red flag?
Post by: VANGUARD on July 28, 2013, 05:56:26 AM

I wanted to sign up for a unique online dating site. I love classical music, and figured I may find someone else with classical music interest.

There's a site called classicalpassions.com

I figured I'd set up an account using my old (very much junk mail only) email address @comcast.net
But when trying to set up that account, I get this message from them:

We are currently experiencing difficulties sending email to COMCAST.NET. We are working on the issue with them. In the meantime feel free to register with an email address from a different ISP (i.e. hotmail.com, gmail.com, yahoo.com, etc.).

I've never seen this in my life. how is there a problem sending it to comcast.net or anywhere? It's an email address. Does this sound fishy or am I just very paranoid?

I am guessing Comcast has blocked that site due to spam issues.

Thanks. that sounds like a red flag for me. I don't like spam. I could I guess, get a gmail account and use it for junk mail only, but why bother with a site that "may be known" for spam.

Thanks again for the reply.

Comcast blocks a lot of domains, using some less-than-generous methods. I wouldn't put too much stock in it.

I shall consider this in the future. As for that site, I just don't trust it too much. The Q & A alone is sort of creepy.

Thanks.
