Congratulations on actually naming the company who sold you "opt-in" advertising. Nearly every "opt-in" spam claims to be opt-in but never identifies the source of the e-mail list. Now all Marco needs is to find out where iomegaone.com got his e-mail address.
No-one should ever buy opt-in advertising lists, unless it can be demonstrated that everyone on the list is willing to receive e-mail advertising not only from whoever collected the addresses, but from whoever is buying the addresses! As JD has explained, there are legitimate and effective ways of getting publicity without resorting to besmirching one's own name by being a witting or unwitting party to spam.
* I have heard of IOMEGA, but not IOMEGAONE. I doubt if IOMEGA, the makers of ZIP drives would be involved in selling e-mail advertising. I wonder if IOMEGA are aware of the use of their name for such purposes.
