Dccc at dccc dot org -- legitimate, or spam?

Politics & Elections

I’ve been getting emails from dccc at dccc dot org, all soliciting donations (supposedly for Democrats) and with lots of click buttons for donation amounts, lots of text that is really a clickable image, and just in general a very spammy look.

I marked the first one as spam, that just had the above address as the sender. Then I got another one, that had "Dan, " in front of it, and it didn’t go into the spam folder, so I marked it as spam. I did not open either one of these. Then I got a third one that had an ostensible sender “Hakeem Jeffries” but the actual source was the same email, and that one did not go into the spam folder either. I did open that one just so I could get a better idea of what was going on, and I marked it as spam.

I went to the url dccc dot org briefly, it looks like it’s just a banner ad with some click buttons for donation amounts, and a little bit of persuasion attempted.

So in typing this I’ve pretty well persuaded myself that it is spam and a fake address to collect money from us left-wing rubes. I guess I’ll have to just keep sending them to the spam folder until they stop coming to my In box.

Very well. I’ll take a chance and click on the Unsubscribe link in the next one that shows up in my In box. I am rather repelled by their email tactics that I have witnessed so far, even if they are in a good cause. Somehow they have managed to get around having their email address marked by me as spam, even professional spammers aren’t normally able to do that.
