Fair warning to all you scammers and spammers out there – You don’t want to email me unless you want to be blown WIDE OPEN. All spams, scams and marketing schemes sent to me are researched and detailed within this blog.
My latest frustration lies with my personal work email, which while it is for a public company, the email lists are private. They can be easily guessed however, if one was to use my Linkedin Profile, using my name and place of employment. This appears to be the newest marketing scheme in an effort to get people to buy into their training, and while these emails looks ‘legit’ the ill-gotten means by which they retrieved my email is unacceptable.

First off, if you come across a major company, you don’t message a random person within the company, you go to the head of the departments. So, after getting the second email, I decided to reply via my own personal email as I don’t risk my company being exposed to spam and scams.
Please stop sending emails to *****@***.com/ca. I shouldn’t have to REMOVE myself from a set of emails you wrongly got my email address from.
I have reported you as spam, as you should have never ever ever found this email, as it’s not posted to any external site, so you either have a staff directory that you’re just testing emails, or have somehow got your hands on our email lists.
I find this to be extremely frustrating, annoying and mildly scary, let alone bad business practice!
Fair warning, depending on your response, I will be making a blog post about how your company disregards privacy, sending out automated emails wanting information.
Please think about your business model and consider contacting the head of this company, whose information is SUPER easy to find online without testing random emails.

First off, I’ve NEVER communicated with them, this generic lie seems to be printed more and more on many automated emails. He then proceeded to try and solidify this lie that I was a ‘previous client’.

Once again, I’d like to point out that I don’t communicate with people outside of the company with that email address, so the only way this address could have been discovered was by ill-gotten means. So I responded back, letting him know this.
(My Reply) – Feb 5, 2019, 10:19 AM (2 days ago)
Once again, that email address is a private company email, and should have NEVER been used. Not sure where you got it from, but you should probably check that these were gotten legally.
In conclusion, I hope bringing forward this information will help keep my friends and family safe, and once again a fair warning to all you spammers scammers and underhanded marketers, don’t send me your junk.
