Spam from Ulead

I'm getting a copy of the current Ulead PHotoImpact 11 email ad on the hour, just got my fourth one today. All the ads are identical and they have my mail address as a customer, is it necessary that they bomb me with dozens of copies of the same spam ad? Nice way to treat your customers.

By the way, this is the mail that I began getting copies of several weeks ago with the title, "Ulead PhotoImpact 11 - New Version Available Now." The ad is formulated so that it sounds as though a bug correction might have been made available but it is actually nothing but an attempt to lure even more unsuspecting purchasers into the PI11 web...

Cheers,
Ralph

Once again, that was Ulead... I refreshed my screen and got the double posting for free.

Just out of interest, how many ulead products have you registered with them?

I had several emails and put it down to one for each product I registered.

Well, what can I say...prob'ly the only time you'll get two for the price of one.

At this point why not set up a filter in your email program to just keep the emails out of your inbox?

I do have to wonder if this doesn't have to do with which marketing area you belong to. I'm connected to Ulead's Asia/Pacific area and honestly, I still haven't gotten the PIv11 announcement even once. And yes, I have at least two products registered. After four/five years of using PI, I just know that Ulead runs to market with a new version every year about this time because of the big trade show in Germany.
