Dave Berlind Gets Spammed

This is the highlight of Dave's Post on this:

"...So I asked how was it that I ended up with the newsletter. Eventually, Daniel Seaman Esq. (he included the "Esq." part, not me), president of Loyalty Solutions, wrote me an email that, amongst other things, said:

….David [Swanson] mentioned that you were interested in understanding how your name got included on our list. I can tell you several things about the list on which your name appeared:

It was a list of insurance company contacts that was recently developed.
This was not a purchased list…..
…..The lists we use are developed from a variety of sources: conferences and trade shows, partner relationships for co-branding and cross marketing, registrations and subscriptions from our website, and some targeted development work undertaken by our operations team. I'm afraid I'm not able to tell you specifically how your name was in that database, as clearly it did not belong. "

The whole experience is comical in a sad tragic sort of way. Read the entire post here....

The irony is that the email came from "Loyalty Solutions". I guess that tells you who they are loyal to!
