That was my first thought - but to me it sounded more like they were contacts already downloaded to his iPhone, or the contacts file you can download from GMail for your own personal backup. I don't think he gave them his password - unless I'm mistaken?
edit: in any case, your advice is still right on the money, and I'd have to second it!
- brown9-2 17y agoSounds like iDrive spammed every contact on his iPhone, and because of the fact/coincidence that he has gmail set to save every person you ever send an email to as a contact, AND because of the way he is using gmail on his iPhone, this became "iDrive spammed my gmail address book". If a company is selling a service (iDrive) which is basically "store your contact data on our services, trust us with this data", it's pretty shitty for that company to then turn around and market to the contacts in that data. It's probably in their TOS or something, but it still feels like an abuse of trust.
