BUSTED Spincar caught selling dealer data

[Jeffrey Tognetti]

It's not that I don't believe you, I was just looking for the actual smoking gun.
The email you got back was from a sales manager - I've seen plenty of preemptive apologies as a way to appease a client with a serious concern so I wouldn't hang a company on an email.

At this point I am not seeing it doing it, but it is possible that it used to, before Alex posted this thread.
Happy that it doesn't now either way.

I have your smokIng gun courtesy of the “way back in time machine” which I just found out captures previous JavaScript loads. Standby

LOL, I was just going to suggest that, you stole my thunder, but nonetheless please post.

The original Spincar js file with exelator references captured from June 16, 2018 on the wayback machine available for everyone to see at https://web.archive.org/web/20180726174834/http://integrator.swipetospin.com/

And

No problem

I heard SpinCar sent an email to all of it's clients in regards to this thread. Does anyone know a SpinCar client who would be willing to send me that email? Or can someone get their hands on it and post it in this thread?

 

[Chris Leslie]

So glad this is all happening.

In a very far off sidenote, does anyone know the story of how spincar came to be a partner of Criteo's? I thought it was kind of interesting in a National Enquirer type of way.

Back OT, would be interesting to see one of those emails @Alex Snyder, they should have gotten out way ahead of this a while back.

I believe Art (at SpinCar) sister or family member works for Criteo

@Jeffrey Tognetti yep, there's a marriage in there that connects the two companies. FWIW I have spoken with Art in person and some of the others at spincar, they've always been professional and overall good people. I just think the handling of the whole situation, going back to your initial inquiry, all the way to today, has been pretty poor. Hell, even ATC replied to their little situation with the referral traffic. Staying tuned...
