Anti-Spam Policy Disclaimer
I one unsolicited commercial email in the spam folder recently from yet another training company. At the bottom of the email, it reads:
Anti-SPAM Policy Disclaimer:
Mail cannot be considered spam as long as we include contact information and a remove link for removal from this mailing list. If this e-mail is unsolicited, please accept our apologies. Further transmissions to you by the sender may be stopped at NO COST to you.
This spammer has a serious misunderstanding of what a spam is. Any unsolicited commercial bulk email is spam. But the spammer tries to justify his action by deceiving people the real meaning of spam. Or maybe he tries to avert his own guilt by talking himself into believing this is not a spam!
Further transmissions to you maybe stopped at NO COST to you? If you ever reply or click on the unsubscribe link hoping never to hear from the spammer again, sorry but you are wrong. By receiving your request to unsubscribe, a spammer can verify that your email address is active and so, worth spamming to! He may not spam to you again himself, but your email address can be used by other spammers to send you even more garbage!
It is good for businesses to use email marketing to promote products and services. But not in this way. Spamming is very ineffective yet it brings many negative consequences to our business. Some of us just have to mature up and know what works and what does not.
