I've just had a spam mail - from a company that sends out
spam mail - asking me if I want any mailings sent out!
It appears that for the modest sum of $750 I can have half a million
email addresses bombarded.
So come on guys - ideas - what - if anything -
should I do to let this company know
what I think of them? For obvious reasons I don't particularly
feel like replying by email to this kind of company :) It does give
a couple of US phone numbers but angry international
phone calls are expensive.
