How not to promote your services

Around a week ago, I got spammed by a dodgy outfit called Logistetica, who claim to "re-design web sites and create new ones". Even though they used Lyris Listmanager to spruke their wares, they made the careless mistake of targeting common business-related mailbox names.

I can understand that business may be tough and you're trying to attract new customers on the cheap. But if you're going to send spam to a generic mailbox like "info@lutrov.com" and not even bother to find out my name, then you make it really easy to identify you as spammers.

You reputation can get tarnished somewhat, don't you think?

Due to the large volume of spam, comments are disabled. If you have anything relevant to say, you can leave a , or contact me directly.
