I agree that this is spam and that they sucked the address from RCTN.
The only message that I sent to any group using DH's computer, after the hurricane knocked out my ISP, was to here. Today this same advertisement was sent to his address. I think that harvesting address from newsgroups is unethical and wouldn't consider doing business with any company that does this. I would say that this sentence, at the beginning of their email, was deceptive. "You were recommended to us as someone that could be interested in our Online Art and Craft Services."......I wonder who did the recommending!

I'm not able to get the headers on my antiquated e-mail system, or I would send an abuse complaint to ArtyandCrafty's ISP. I hope they're reading this newsgroup and can see that unwanted e-mail is just that....UNWANTED!

muttered something like: I would say that this sentence, at the beginning of their email, was deceptive. "You were recommended to us as someone that could be interested in our Online Art and Craft Services."......I wonder who did the recommending! Spammers always say that. "A friend of yours said you might be interested in our product." "I saw your website and thought you'd be interested in..." "You are receiving this because you signed up for it at some web site." And, of course, the universal spammer lie: "Click here to be removed." -Bertha -- Nice computers don't go down. |

muttered something like: On principle, I refuse to do any sort of business with people who spam me. Even if they're selling something I've been trying to find. Me too. I also won't buy from telemarketers or door-to-door salesmen (with the exception of neighborhood kids doing school fundraisers). I don't want to support these intrusive, discourteous forms of marketing. -Bertha -- I am Pinky of Borg. Assimilation is chafing. NARF! |
