Somebody did call me from youmint and assured me that the spamming will stop. But it didn&#8217;t. So I lost my patience and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sumankumar.com\/2008\/04\/do-not-sign-up-for-youmintcom.html\">blogged about it<\/a>. And, that post now comes up in the first results page on Google when you search for <a href=\"http:\/\/www.google.co.in\/search?hl=en&#038;q=youmint.com&#038;btnG=Search&#038;meta=\">youmint.com<\/a> or <a href=\"http:\/\/www.google.co.in\/search?hl=en&#038;q=youmint&#038;btnG=Search&#038;meta=\">youmint<\/a>. <\/p>\n<p>\ud83d\ude42 and their top boss one Mr. Ankush called and spoke to me. Today I received a mail from them saying that my a\/c has been deleted.
