I woke up this morning to find that my Google mail had delivered 56 messages to me overnight. It had also binned over 300 messages that it had recognised as spam.
I sat down with a cup of tea and began to go through the 56. Out of that lot, only five of them were of any use. Everything else was just trying to flog me something or other. Again, no problem with that really. It’s about selling after all and I suppose I must have signed up for some free report or other to get onto their list in the first place. Or did I?
You see, I found a few emails that I had not, did not and would not subscribe to. Period. So the only thing I can think of and strongly suspect is the case, is that someone has sold my details on. Now that’s bang out of order. I can’t prove this of course but I can’t see any other way of these people getting hold of my email address and it seems a tad too coincidental that shortly after I sign up for a ‘freebie’ report I get walloped with a load of crappy offers.
I guess I’ll just have to be a tad more careful when I sign up for anything in future.
