    Getting spam from an irish Haulage company called Libratrans, anyone else get these.
    There's no "unsubscribe" and I certainly never asked to receive these
    so I'm wondering who i report it to?
    I got it a month or two ago and reported it to Eircon (who is their ISP)
    but received no response (of course)
    What's next, Comreg?



    Here's the message source

    You could try contacting Libratrans directly and request that they remove you from their database. Make sure to keep a copy of this request. Under the Data Protection act they must respond to you within 40 (I think) days confirming that they have done this.

    The Data Protection act prohibits holders of personal information from using that information for any purpose other than that for which it was supplied. If you feel that your personal information is being misused you can report the offender to the Data Protection Commissioner, Joe Meade. Loads more info at his website here.

    Regards,

    Liam

    I have just got some high quality spam from "Carrefour Dublin" in which they offer to train me in, amongst other topics:

    CF-214 Effective Assertiveness & Communication Skills (2 days) 23-24 September.
    CF-209 Building Relationships (2 days) 21-22 September
    CF-207 Negotiation Skills (2 days) 7-8 October

    I feel that their command of the afore mentioned subject matter areas is bought into question by their decision to implement these skills via spam.

    Inspires confidence doesn't it !
