I just wonder if anyone can confrim that Just Flight/Just Trains have a Christmas sale on?
Suspect this may be true after receiving 254 E-mails about it between 00.45 and 21.57 yeasterday, not counting the ones I received on Thursday and Friday.
Strange thing is, becoming hacked off with this and trying to "unsubscribe" I was informed that "this e-mail address is not recognised.!"

Hi Graham -
I got one from them, to each of my email addresses, and since I have never done any business with them they went straight on my Blocked Sender list - there is no way they got my info legally. Never, ever, click an 'unsubscribe' link - the sole purpose of them is to trap you into confirming that your email address is a live one. There is a huge trade among the dark forces who would swamp the Net with pinkstuff, and a list of guaranteed live addresses is worth a lot more than an ordinary list.
One day they might wake up to how counter-productive it is.

I got around 300 emails on Friday and another 269 were waiting for me on Saturday morning. Funny thing about these emails was that at the part which said, 'If you no longer wish to receive these e-mails, please follow this link: Unsubscribe', there was no link. The only way I could see to get out of the loop was to go to their site and 'unsubscribe' to something I don't remember subscriibing to and then to add them to my junk mail blocked list. By the end of yesterday I had received around 600 unwanted emails.
Last night their site did carry an apology, blaming a computer glitch for the problem 'which will never occur again' - we wish.
Oh yes - they do appear to have a Christmas sale on - if only I had been told...........................
According to the email account they send stuff to for me they are having 900 sales this Christmas - I got 400 of the damn announcements on Friday and 500 on Saturday!
Our office email system did the same thing once with hundreds of spam emails coming from one of the accounts to everyone else. IT said they could do nothing about it until a major client complained and it got sorted in 30 minutes. Odd that. :roll:
Yes, well, the thinking behind the junk mail you get in your letterbox is that if you distribute 10000 leaflets, you can expect at least a one percent positive response, i.e 100 sales.
"Accidentally" spamming a million people around the world should produce the same statistical result. I rooly trooly believe these accidental spammers are so honourable that they will refuse to accept any offers to purchase generated by the accident - don't you? ;-)
