SPAM: foremedia.net generic form letter

I got this spam email from jannine@foremedia.net last night via the contact form on TrailsNH.com. At a quick glance it sounds legit. But, it’s just a generic form letter. “your content is amazing Really engaging and original” You can say that for just about any website.

This is the 4th time I received this generic letter. Once about every two weeks. Each letter exactly the same.

Update: May 2021:

I’ve received the following email from support@foremedia.net on May 10th saying I’m making a false claim. They say their email to me was not SPAM.

To me it seemed like SPAM, that’s why I wrote the post. I felt it was not genuine. Not written about my site. I felt it was just a generic message. And I’ve also received multiple copies of the letter in the past. All exact the same.

You are reading this post because you got this email ForeMedia, and thought something was off about it. You thought it was spam too, right? If it’s not a generic form letter sent to many websites, I apologize for calling it spam.

I think it’s odd ForeMedia don’t reply to this post and say what their side of the story is…. Own it, agree something is wrong, and say you’ll do better. That’s what was need here. Something like “Sorry, you feel it’s spam.” Or how about something like “we assure you we are legit“, and “we have an excellent BBB rating“? Maybe finish up with “we’ll update our client outreach processes to come across more genuine.” Not… I’m gonna “pursue legal action against you.”

Definition of spam:
unsolicited usually commercial messages (such as emails, text messages, or Internet postings) sent to a large number of recipients or posted in a large number of places

“SPAM: foremedia.net generic form letter”

  1. Hi, I got the same email today. How can I ban them from contacting me via WPForms? They are continuously doing it and I don’t know how to block them. Should they say I’m lying I have all 32 emails they have sent over the course of 2 months.

    1. You should flag the email from them as “spam”. That will block them. It will also inform your email provider so that may help others as well.

  2. I think the purpose is to get somehow access to the website and plant some malware or scamware.

    Got this one today as well and it makes no sense. My page is barely visible and without SEO.

    1. I have not heard ForeMedia.net is pushing malware or a scamware. Have you seen any blog posts on that? Please share.
