=====================

I've recieved atleast 2 emails in the last few days from these people, maybe more as theres more than one person checking our sales email address, i've asked to be removed more than once as well which hasnt happened :(

They are based in Russia and their telephone number is +7 (3432) 717 093, i might give them a call later and/or write them a letter :)

I currently don't use any spam filter software, anyone know if theres a good one for free I could get?

Well... what do you expect from someone who speaks a foreign language, and tries to figure out what spam is? If she only sent the letter to people she appreciated she probably don't consider it spam.

I wonder what people at these business are thinking when they spam...

"i bet we will get a ton of customers"

or better yet a ton of email from bunch of pissed off people.

It was a spam mail what you received. You will get some more from different domains now. Your ID is in their database now. I get at least 10 mails daily from different domains. You cant block them
