As it happens, the UCE i got has caused Aria great concern, and this
might not just be UCE we are talking about. There may be fraudulent use
of their business name.

I think you did the right thing. At least is highlights that Aria are
concerned, the other company seem dodgy and that anyone else who
received this spam in this NG here know its not Aria too.

Seconded. I think knowing that a company has descended to "internet
marketing" is definitely on topic for this group, and it's valuable
information - both because it indicates that the company in question is
succumbing to a kind of desperate cluelessness which doesn't bode well
for their future prospects, and because it warns people to not give them
a "real" email address.

In this case, it's also good to hear that Aria were apparently unaware
of this particular marketing campaign, but I think that spamming related
to "reputable" companies is always worth of discussion here.

Cheers,

Tim.
