Nahum Laufer – You are an asshole and you just don’t seem to get it!
So I got this email from a guy trying to self-promote a film called “The Darien Dilemma”. It seemed familiar and I went back through my email and found that he has emailed me eight times since last year and not one of them contains an opt out link!
Better yet it is an obnoxious email that claims they collected my name off of a website – which is supposed to make the SPAM ok? He even admits that he keeps sending it over and over again! I also love the anti-virus notice at the bottom of the email.
My only joy is that I in-lined the image from their site so I wouldn’t waste my bandwidth!
So for failure for an opt-out and repeated emails I have to say:
Nahum Laufer – You are an asshole and you just don’t seem to get it!
This one was so bad I am tempted to just report it!
Here is the email – oh and the crappy formatting is what it really looked like!
