Tiscali spamming users!


If you're a Tiscali company, you might have noticed they are allowing
companies to SPAM users. The latest SPAM is being sent on behalf of The
Eazyfone Group Limited. It states that there is some form of recycling
going on with old mobiles, but it is being used to generate sales leads for
a company as you need to supply ALL your personal details.

It's quite annoying Tiscali are charging companies to SPAM users on their
behalf. Trying to remove details from a database by clicking on the link
gets you nowhere. The sites are linked via various advertising sites that
provide payment when people are constantly redirected through them. Tiscali
are ignoring complaints and say they are providing an "update service".
This is not quite correct as I did not subscribe to Tiscali with a view to
recycling or buying a mobile phone. It's a clever way of getting around not
selling customer details, but charging others to SPAM them anyway!

How do you know Tiscali have anything to do with it, and it's not just
normal spam ?

Just use Mailwasher and delete it at source anyway - i've got a decent
set of filters I can send if you like :-}

There is a lot that's bad that I could say about Tiscali but
them spamming isn't one of them.
What do you mean by "if you're a Tiscali company",
are you saying they have only misappropriated the
email addresses of their business customers?
