Samuel Schaperow, MFT, licensed by the Connecticut Dept of Public Health, License number 1110, complains that he gets an advertising postcard in the US mail from us every year.
Instead of throwing the card in the trash, he is now trolling the internet, submitting many internet complaints about our continuing education company to the BBB, ripoffreport.com, and more, simply because he wants to be removed from our mailing list. We have informed him three times now that we don't have a mailing list. He must contact his licensing board, the Connecticut Dept of Public Health, in order to be removed from the mailing list which his Board maintains.
If this doesn't stop soon, we will be filing an ethics complaint with Samuel Schaperow's licensing board.

To summarize for our viewers:
Sam S. has been solicited by "Sam G." (AKA Gary Samad of ContlnulngEdCourses dot net, Inc.) via postcards sent year after year. After the ~1st, Sam S. preferred not to continue to recieve them, but "Sam G." uses the state's list of addresses of licensees to send masses of mailings. Gary thus recommended Sam S. contact the state for a possible solution. Sam S. honored that request and asked the state who said the one who determines if Sam S. gets mailingsis the soliciter, not the state, therefore Sam S. referred back to the soliciter (Gary Samad of ContlnulngEdCourses.Net, Inc.) who refused to stop the mailings. With fixation/determination (as Sam. S. gives the latter to his patients, and the former when called for, e.g. to work on something trouble the patient even the problem it needs a high level of attn., until the problem is resolved!), Sam S. went to the BBB (Gary stated). No record of this BBB transaction seems to appear, at least currently, on the BBB's website, however. Gary has further made a trolling accusation, a threat to contact the Dept. of Public Health, questioned his mental health, and claims he "continues to troll us after a year and a quarter now". How will Sam S. respond? See below for the latest update!
Dear Gary:
I am waiting on some more concrete information from you and also for you to follow through on what you've said. I hope to clarify things further on this round of the debate. I surely remain curious as to how you'll next respond. Points are as follows. Please reply in-line, if possible, or by showing the #s for each point so that our viewers, whoever they may be, can best follow this debate:
Please be sure to reply at your convenience.

Sam Schaperow of Psychology CT and Associates continues to troll us on this trivial issue of not just throwing away the 25 cent postcard that we mail to him if he doesn't like it.
If you are a potential customer of Psychology CT or Samuel Schaperow in Connecticut, a licensed mental health professional, maybe you should question his mental health first. He is licensed by the Connecticut Dept of Public Health, License number 1110.

Anyone looking at the itnernet can see that no "trolling" is occuring by seeing that there aren't many websites in which my grievance has been listed. I invite you to contact the ethics board, as this is not an ethics board situation and I'd like you to learn from them that your threat is minsinformed.
Lastly, I maintain that the state's position (per their email) is that it is up to you to include or exclude people from mailings. If you have someone from the state that says otherwise, please foward me their contact info.
Thanks.

Sam Schaperow aka Samuel Schaperow, PsychologyCT.com, xx Vauxhall Street Ext., Waterford, CT 06385-4135, (((REDACTED))), [email protected] continues to troll us after more than a year about the trivial issue that he receives a postcard from us every two years and he can't figure out how to just throw it in the recycling bin. He has already posted my very clear message to him about how he might be able to get his name removed from the licensing board mailing list, which is where we receive our mailing information. We don't maintain the database. There is no legal right to be removed from mailing lists. We would love it if he were removed from the list, but it is out of our control. The fact that he is fixated on this and is supposedly a mental health professional, gives me pause. It should give you pause, too, if you are considering him as your therapist.

Rebuttle of:
"We don’t control the address list, your licensing board does. You must contact them to remove your address from their database, if that is even possible".
Sincerely,
Gary Samad
ContlnulngEdCourses dot Net, Inc.
In fact, I did make the licensing board contact this soliciter suggested, but the soliciter was incorrect (note the statement I quoted above shows he knew it may not be possible), as the contact stated they have no ability to prevent these solicitations (they do have a list of providers w/addresses, but not a "mailing list" per se, so they don't remove the list of providers). Anyone who finds they get too many mailings and wishes to have them stopped should be able to make that request to the company sending mailings, and that company should comply, not threaten to contact the licensing board.... I thus implore people to reconsider use of this company.
Sam
P.S. Note he called himself "Sam G." here, but hs name is Gary Samad.
