Glad to see you posted this. I've just been spammed by them too. No clue
where it came from - they've used my personal address, not a
supplier-tagged one I normally use.

Me too; they appear to be a legitimate business, which means they
bought our addresses from someone.

They originally got their lists from Tekheads, via their mutual website
designers 7soft or global7 or whatever they're calling themselves now.
James Dobson is the proprietor of that outfit, and
Glen Wallin is the spamming scumbag at zebra.

I was just thinking how wonderful life was, when Tx2
opened his gob and said:

Well we differ, because I don't, hence why I don't want to be included
in the "we".

Do you have such a high opinion of yourself that you think you were
included in a "we" before you appeared in this thread :-p?

I'm not the King or PM where a "we" means **everybody**.

Ahhh...I couldn't remember what the th@ stood for (in the email address they
sent the spam to). OK...so as I now know or "we" now know who is to blame,
let the battle commence.

Excuse me, but you included me, as a reader, within your address to the
group seemingly elevating yourself to that of a spokesperson.

I'm not the King or PM where a "we" means **everybody**.

So...

"hi all

If I get anymore, I shall post the home address of the MD here so he
can read about how ****ed off we are over his cornflakes"

....in what context was "we" being used if "all" isn't everyone?

The people in the thread.

Sorry if the simple concept misses you by a mile.

Be careful, Tx2 may think you mean him too! Can you believe it?

He does not mind spam so will take offence.

Isn't sending a reply telling the spammers that the target account
(yours) is active?

So who is to blame ... Tekheads or the web company they used?

Look at it this way - tekheads sold your data to someone - without your
explicit consent. There is no tickbox on the tekheads "Your Account"
section which either allows or denies them permission to sell on your
contact details.

When you engage with a company, using their services, I think they can
use your email address by what's known as an "implicit opt-in" ("by
using our services, you agree..."). I don't think you can legitimately
sell on someone's information from an implicit opt-in - it has to be
explicit ("please tick this box if you wish to receive information from
our selected partners")....

Sorry for the double post.
I thought I'd paste this from the tekheads -
http://www.tekheads.co.uk/s/articles?article=5

"Your information will not be shared with individual or other companies
(such as direct mail organizations or other third parties) unless
required by law."

I don't know what happens now. They're not standing by their privacy
policy. Isn't that breach of the Data Protection Act or something?
