I have today received what I consider SPAM.  It obviously came from this site by someone who is taking peoples emails and using them to send their own adverts out.

The ONLY place my email address was listed was when I requested a copy of a form on here.

SPAM is not acceptable to me & the "pro" email has done its job by making me NOT want to have any dealings with it.  Good tactic there......well pleased with yourself for losing another potential customer!   

Said email is now where it should be.......in the TRASH.  The senders email is now logged as SPAM & I will receive no more junk.

Am I annoyed?   Too right I am.

Hello,
 
Do you know a good Window Cleaner?
 
It's often asked, and the reply will frequently be something like: 'Yes give George a ring.'
 
There's no doubt about it, 'word of mouth' is a very powerful way of promoting your business. Unfortunately you don't have much control over it and it has a limited life span.
 
We have now brought the 'word of mouth' concept to the internet. This allows your customers to leave recommendations about jobs that you have done.
 
*** You can place your company details on our web site for absolutely no cost. ***
 
Potential customers can then read these powerful independent comments and recommendations. It's like every customer becomes a promoter of your business.
 
We know that it's a pain having to go online and fill in another registration form, but ours is really simple, just one page and takes about a couple of minutes to complete.
 
Click the following link to see what your listing could look like and then on that page press the 'add your company details' link.

Hi Busy I did understand you reply to my other thread.

If I get spam like yourself I first of all bounce it back to them and then add it to the spam list, if they continue to send out spam I often reply to it in my own strong and very blue words, and Just incase anyone want to send me a spam mail
you will never get a sale from it, from me.
If I wish to buy anything I'll do my own searching, or ask for recommendations, I do not buy from spam.
