UKNM: itnetwork.com - hmmm, what's going on here then? -Reply

Kevin,


itnetwork.com or itnetworks.com?  - your subject header said one but

the text said the other.


Both exist but only the singular one looks like a UK business.  If that is the

one and you wanted to find out how they got your name and were

sending you unsolicited e-mailshots, as they are a UK company, you

might ask the data protection registrar (www.dataprotection.gov.uk) to

help you.  I am sure she would be very interested, given that they do not

seem to have a registration.  :-)


Regards

John

'lo all,


Anybody received a message recently from www.itnetworks.com ? or

have I been

*specially selected* for the pleasure?


Apparantly my account is now open (that's a weight off my mind!) and

my

username and password have been set to strings clearly derived from

the

email address to which they sent the message (not the email address

from

which I am sending this!).


On entering my account (that was probably a mistake!) I discovered that

they

have my job title (one of them) and some basic contact details such as

company, telephone, fax.


Now it's always possible that I've surfed myself into a stupor and simply

don't remember signing-up, but the evidence suggests otherwise, as I

would

*NEVER* have chosen the username and password which were mailed

to me.


Any other UKNM'ers received one of these?

Anybody from www.itnetworks.com on the list? - if so, do you fancy

telling

me from where my details were acquired?


Regards

Kevin
