    Yeah, but on the other hand what they’re saying about Yellow Pages is true.

    That’s terrible!

    I just tryed searching for ‘washing machine repairs’ and they said…

    ‘C@sinos?’ 😕

    But then they asked for my name, address and email.

    Who’s stupid enough to do that?

    Not me! I said ‘ :wave: ‘

    Now they are really extracting the proverbial now as I get 10 emails a day from them now (all the same just repeated at different times) Newcastle and Macclesfield seem to be popular at present. And there’s someone in Shrewsbury that is desperate to have their microwave fixed (got 5 emails on that alone) 🙄

    I’ve hit the ‘contact us’ button on their website and asked to be removed from their list and I’ve left a message on the answering machine in Oxford, both approaches by me so far have failed to stop the tyrade of emails I get (none today as yet but had 4 yesterday)

    Technically that’s spamming then if you’ve asked to be removed from their email list 😉

    I’ve used the comment page on their site telling them so, let’s see if they respond 😀

    service wanted wrote:Hi, Thank-you for your message – we have had a problem with data corruption causing some of our users to receive request notifications from the whole of the UK instead of those regions they were originally registered for… we have put a warning on all email notifications informing our users of this and a link to take them to their ‘Region Management’ page where they can easily reset their regions in a few seconds. Unfortunately we cannot do this for them because we no longer have the original region selection information.

    Please accept my apologies for any inconvenience caused and if you or your members require any assisatnce or further information please let me know,

    Regards, ****

    P.S. You mentioned that your members had asked to be ‘removed but haven’t been’… we regard spamming very seriously, the scourge of the Internet – if anyone had requested to be removed they would have been. There is also an ‘Unsubscribe’ link on the Member log in page where any user can remove their details from our database at any time. Users can also set email notification times to immediate, daily, hourly etc, or not at all, so could remain registered but receive no notifications.

    A pretty good explanation I think 😀

    Dave.
