WW Grainger Sucks
I never visited Grainger nor did I ever buy from their website, however, I receive numerous emails with their newsletters and product information from them under email addresses under my domain. The email addresses they use do not receive any other emails but from them because they are made with fictitious names. Here is a sample from my inbox:
None of these emails are used by me or anybody else. They were probably created by some list manager who needed additional emails to fill his quota. Grainger has no controls to sort these invalid emails out.
I run into this problem from spammers all the time as they spammers often use bots to browse the internet for domain names and add common used usernames to the domains to make an email mailing list that seem legit. However Grainger is the only public company I have ever found to engage in such treacherous and unprofessional means of obtaining email addresses.
Grainger needs to seriously audit their email list gathering techniques and stop this nonsense, I can't be the only one experiencing this.
A publicly traded company should not spam people!

I wish I knew. It looks they are using customer names to generate email addresses. Maybe there database got screwed up... I don't know I just know I never ordered from them and they shouldn't be sending me emails. They send me emails to more than just that email I listed.

It's a malware that most likely not from Grainger. The malware uses the address book from the infected PC and "impersonates" a valid e-mail address to send out spam. The thing is, you may never know whose PC is infected. Better have yours checked.

I made a spamgourmet account to order from Grainger. Never used it anywhere else. It has received over 5000 spam messages. Grainger is the only place that could have sold this email address.
Try out spamgourmet to generate disposable emails. It works great for just this reason. There may be other services that do the same, but I'm not aware of them. I always generate a disposable email on any site that I have to register with.

Grainger is a terrible company. They mistreat their employees and rip off there customers. I will never buy from them.
