[RTC List] spam from Commercial Radio & Electronics

[Rick Blanchard]

Mike and the rest of RTC, This is Rick Blanchard from Commercial Radio & Electronics. I did not send my company newsletter to the group and Mike, I sent it to our customers, NOT the RTC List. My records have you as a former customer and I sent out our newsletter to my customers. I have removed you from the list Mike, and I am sorry you had to send this to some fraud list. I have Mikes email form previous business related work. We are a company which some people only recognize under CRE, Comradio, Commercial Radio, Power Page. I do not purchase email account info nor do I sale them, I am a small business owner who has been receiving requests from my customers and decided to comply, Sorry for your inconvenience. I am also an RTC member and would not use the list as a resource for sending a newsletter about my business. 

Thank you,

Rick Blanchard

  I've been on the list for quite awhile, and I didn't receive anything from
  them.

  Just out of curiousity, who is YOUR upstream provider? If it's AT&T,
  Suddenlink, etc., I wouldn't put it beyond them to have sold your address.
  Same goes for your wireless provider. If you have AT&T residential DSL,
  look very carefully at your agreement. You pretty much give up all rights
  of any type of phone or data privacy when you sign-up with them. That can
  do whatever they want to with the data they collect about you, especially
  if you are crazy enough to install their spyware... er, I mean,
  installation software. :-)
