I got some e-mail from these guys I think over a month back. I assumed my
address was sold/given to them from one of the trusted vendors that I gave
permission to give/sell my address to related companies. And no I'm not
crazy <g>, doing this has actually gotten me some good leads to companies I
might never have found by other means.
Anyway, after I got the first message and saw it was not something I was
interested in, I replied to their opt-out address per the instructions in
the newsletter and voila no more e-mail from them.
Now the porno, viagra, debt relief, etc. spam I would NEVER reply to.
