A junk marketing success story (none / 0) (#12)
by foxyshadis1 on Thu Feb 01, 2007 at 06:58:12 PM PDT

An interesting story of investigation of spam coming from an otherwise legitimate marketing company: http://www.theregister.com/2007/02/01/t_mobile_spam/

The really interesting part: Complaining and forcing an investigation actually had results that will probably end up tightening down their email "partnering". Of course it helps that a newspaper did the complaining, but it was pushed along by a number of other people suddenly getting vocally angry.
