401503 2005-11-03 01:11:00 So you do some "manual" spam catching?Not quite sure what you mean. But this customer doesn't have computer and Internet access so all her business emails come via me. Greg (193)
401504 2005-11-03 01:50:00 Surely you would consider any such communication as "unsolicited commercial email" AKA "spam". Therefore you protect your customer by diverting it into the bit bin. :D

401505 2005-11-03 03:07:00 Ah. The tout had spoken on the phone to my customer, and evidently followed up their phone call with the email.

In actual fact the message was deleted as spam without being read. But the plonker further shot himself in the foot when he realised what he'd done, and emailed the same address a second time offering an apology with some lame excuse that they got their customers' names mixed up.

Total lies of course, and they proved themselves to be potential rip-off artists posing as reputable website creation people.
