Neverpayitback.com Aweber update: account closed!

So, in my previous post I mentioned Aweber's unresponsiveness to my inquiry about the e-mail harvesting activities of neverpayitback.com and its sister sites, who used Aweber's services for this.

As I mentioned I had submitted a support case to them and after no response chatted with a 'live' support person who had told me the case had been forwarded to a manager, only to find the case 'closed' a few days later without a comment or response. I had reopened the case with the question as to why it was closed without any feedback, but had not received a response.

So today, two hours after posting the neverpayitback.com story as well as tweeting about it I get the following message:

My apologies for the delay in response, but when we get these kinds of complaints, we take some time to fully investigate the account in question.

After a complete investigation into this account, this is not something that we condone, nor are able to work with. The account has been closed effective immediately, as per our service agreement.

I would like to thank you for taking the time to look into this, and bring it to our attention. If you have any questions about this please feel free to let me know. Thank you.

Coincidence? Maybe, maybe not. In any case, they indeed closed the account the folks behind neverpayitback.com and its sister grant scam sites were using.

See what happens when you submit your name and e-mail from the front page now:

Awesome. Crippled, for now. Thanks Aweber for doing this, it will save a lot of people financial grief and prevent the unauthorized harvesting of e-mail addresses for (presumably) spam purposes.
