Spam from Moran
Congressman Moran has deemed it necessary to send me spam. I thought I'd send him a friendly note and find out why.
Unsolicited e-mail from your office
Dear Mr Moran,
Today I received two e-mail messages from you that were identical and sent to different addresses that I own. I've never signed up for your newsletters, and the addresses are such that they indicate they were purchased or harvested from the ACLU and Consumer's Union.
Having never given your office permission to contact me via e-mail except, possibly, in reply to actions by the above organizations, I'm very disappointed that you and your office have chosen to engage in what can only be called Spam.
I'd ask you or your staff to please let me know exactly how you got my e-mail addresses (listed below), and what steps you are taking to prevent this from happening again.
The addresses are:
numberportability_consumersunion.org [munged]
aclu-action [munged]
I sincerely hope that this address is not going to wind up on your spam list, as well. And while Listrak seems to have a good reputation, I hope my addresses do not wind up with other spammers. If you purchased the addresses from a third party, I would request their name and contact information so I might remove myself from their clutches. If not, you might want to consider that people who contact you do not want your spam unless they've agreed to it.
Thank you for addressing this issue.
Samer
Let's see if my congressman responds.
