Strikers SMS Tipping Line – We name the Spammer

Chris we gonna get our turn to hammer back mate..one of the main players off to Aus..then the can of worms will open up..wait and watch!

We shall see Oscar, nice to hear from you bud, wishing you a happy, safe and spam free Easter weekend.

Hee hee I hear lots of talk bout trainer moves planned during this year..I think Jhb is gonna open up Dbn seems to be the venue of choice for those trainers emigrating for their local stables..its gonna still be an interesting yr ahead.

Right! Just got off the phone to Clinton Basel & he thanks you for the publicity! Good or bad as long as it benefits racing & the majority of punters in the end.

Firstly the striker spammer was never hiding, EVERYBODY knows it's Clinton Basel,
who is one of the most innovative entrepreneurs in this country and a highly
proffessional presenter from the days of See How They Run on SABC 3 when sum people didn't know what a horse looked like and other people wern't even on the country!

When a punter like myself has to hear the rubbish that one has to read on ABC by some of it's members, not all, it really gets pretty tiering & boring. As an avid Strydom & Zaki follower, I have found out that 40% of the money (R30 sms) is allocated to the service provider such as Vodacom, MTN & CellC, and 40% to the WASP provider (for the idiots out there, Value Added service Provider), and the 20 % remaining, which is R6, is divided amongst advertising & Distant Star (R3) and the other 10% to the IP (Information Provider, Strydom or Zaki) which is (R3).

The majority of punters appreciate and enjoy this service & see it & appreciate it as just another form or channel, thankfully to the technology of our times, to receive information from the Jockey or Trainer directly... Cause they cannot to sit at home on their ass all day with the TV infront of them watching TellyTrack, some of us work & need our cellphones to receive that information. I can't just walk up to Strydom or Zaki and ask them what their opinions are of their rides & runners on the day. So if you FUCK this up for me & miss a P.A because of you lack of respect for the majority who treasure this sport & service as a great guide to a better day's racing & informative for us all, YOU WILL FIND MY WRATH and the WRATH of the majority of end users.

AS FAR AS SPAMMING IS CONCERNED, IN THE BUSINESS WORLD IT'S CALLED A D A T A B A S E, FILLED WITH SUBSCRIBERS AND THEIR NUMBERS WHO HAVE ASKED FOR THIS SERVICE AND ASKED FOR THE PROMOS TO BE RECEIVED. THE BEST IS, WITH EVERY SMS I RECEIVE, THERE IS AN OPT IN (OPTION IN) OR OPT OUT (OPTION OUT) WHICH HAS ALWAYS WORKED FOR ME, TOGETHER WITH AN EMAIL ADDRESS FOR CLIENTS TO AIR THEIR VIEWS AND TO REQUEST WHETHER THEY WOULD WANT TO CONTINUE OR NOT. IF THIS HASN'T WORK FOR YOU, TRY AGAIN OR SEND AN EMAIL BUT MAKE AN EFFORT FOR GOODNESS SAKE. WHY DOESN'T THIS GUY JUST FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS PROPERLEY... WHAT IS IT THAT HE WANTS??? WHY IS IT THAT HE'S MAKING EVERYBODY ELSE'S BUSINESS HIS BUSINESS??? DOES HE WORK? IS HE VERY BORED OR SOMETHING? IS THIS SITE DOING SO BADLY THAT ALL IT'S INFORMATION IS GROSSLY UNFOUNDED??? INFACT THE LACK OF INFORMATION BEFORE GOING ON THIS SITE BY THIS GENTLEMEN IS SO GROSSLY UNFOUNDED IN IT'S RESEARCH THAT IT'S NOTHING SHORT OF ADISGRACE AND AN ABSOLUTE DEFORMATION OF CHARACTER FOR ALL CONCERNED.
THIS GUY ON THE ABC SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF HIS ACTIONS & BOW HIS HEAD IN DIAGRACE!!! I THINK THIS FORUM SHOULD NOT BE KNOWN AS THE African Betting Clan, but rather the KKK Klu Klux Klan, YOU DO NOT SPEAK FOR THE MAJORITY OF PUNTERS IN THE TOTES AROUND THE COUNTRY, BUT FOR 10 OR 20 OF YOU ON THIS SITE!!!

THANK YOU CLINTON BASEL, THANK YOU PIERE STRYDOM, THANK YOU DOMINIC ZAKI FOR ALL YOUR EFFORTS AND FOR VERY LITTLE FINANCIAL GAIN... YOU ARE GENTLEMEN AND SCHOLARS WHO PUTS THE PUNTERS FIRST WITH THIS INFORMATION & WELL DONE FOR COMING UP WITH THIS IDEA TO PROVIDE US WITH INFORMATION WE WOULD NEVER HAVE GOT ANY OTHER WAY WITHOUT A TV AND EXPENSIVE DSTV SUBSCRIPTION.

THANK YOU AGAIN AS I HEAR THAT MARWING, DELPECH, FORTUNE, HERHOLDT, HILL, VENTER, YENI, D. WILLIAMS AND G. HATT FROM MAURITIUS HAVE JOINED. IT'S ABOUT TIME THAT THE PUNTER IN THE STREET IS SERVICED, NO MORE RED TAPE. MOST OF ALL THANK YOU TO THE CELLULAR NETWORK PROVIDERS FOR YOUR TECHNOLOGY WHICH I'M SURE COST YOU BILLIONS OF RANDS.

Please note it is cheaper to sms this service 42403, than to phone the tote with no information, take your bets, your P.A & P.6 etc... and lose your money at the end of the day due to lack of info.


As far as African Betting Clan is concerned and the dictatorship it's run by, it seems there's nothing like a dying breed creating a situation,hoping just to keep this blogsite alive one more day. I wonder who the innocent victim will be tomorrow? D I S G R A C E !!!

Stryker has a huge following and if there are complaints,he needs to address these issues as his names at stake.

From what ive read here,there isnt a call 2 close the sms service,just to manage it properly and respect ppls privacy.

Sad to see some1 go from 'who is one of the most innovative entrepreneurs in this country and a highly proffessional presenter from the days.....' to spamming,and for 3bucks!

Exactly Doyen, very well put

Chris, you asked yesterday where the response from spammer cab and/or his employers was, well he (they) have come out the woodwork.
Cab aka Clinton Basel aka Orion (wonder if any connection to Orion Telecom in Sunninghill) is at least consistent in his tone and text on ABC.
What is not surprising is the attack on ABC for exposing him.
What is conveniently not mentioned is that cab and his cronies are guilty of an offence under Act 45(1) of Act 2002, which states :

Unsolicited goods, services or communications

(1) Any person who sends unsolicited commercial communications to consumers, must provide the consumer-

(a) with the option to cancel his or her subscription to the mailing list of that person; and

(b) with the identifying particulars of the source from which that person obtained the consumer's personal information, on request of the consumer.

(2) No agreement is concluded where a consumer has failed to respond to an unsolicited communication.

(3) Any person who fails to comply with or contravenes subsection (1) is guilty of an offence and liable, on conviction, to the penalties prescribed in section 89 (1).

(4) Any person who sends unsolicited commercial communications to a person who has advised the sender that such communications are unwelcome, is guilty of an offence and liable, on conviction, to the penalties prescribed in section 89 (1).

But then again, with their track record, what else can we expect from them ?

Yes Cuckoo, and it will also be interesting to note how the Phumelela Tellytrack management view the abuse of their position by one Clinton Basel in shamelesly plugging his services in post race interviews.

You would think / hope Tellytrack management - Nico, would take a dim view of it, we shall find out. Plus there is the Novemeber outburst from Basel himself to append to Orion's post.

Much more to come on this for orion and cab, whatever happened to the TAB2000 competition by the way?

In the meantime, we continue to do our jobs.

Now i know will go for a conviction. Have asked many times to be removed from their mailing list but keep getting mail.
Thank u for exposing them.

Well thats a good start to the Easter Weekend, and sorry ORION could not hang around for the replies, but also thank "you" for the publicity,its always a shame that some posters "one off's that hate the site and are leaving NOW!" cant follow the discussions through to a conclusion?

enjoy!

Morning Cat

I see you guys are racing in PE on a religious day? Don't they have any churches down there?

Sorry, back to the thread, I will be the first to admit it takes "balls" to post on the site, as you can be on a hiding to nothing, but its not the 20 posters its the 500 viewers that keep us going!

Where did spam supremo Clinton Basel get hold of peoples personal cell numbers? and as he got their cell numbers, what other personal data fell into his possession at the same time....?
