LegacyBox: Now comes the spam

A new message appeared in the Inbox today, from Kodak Digitizing. Rumor has it that LegacyBox and Kodak Digitizing are one and the same, and this confirms it. We used a special email address for LegacyBox and they have so far given it to two different companies, Kodak and Southtree.com.

The “emotion of the past” in this case is not quite rage, not quite disappointment, but something in between, perhaps irritation, that we have to suffer yet again from irresponsible vendors who can’t seem to understand that the CAN Spam Act was meant to prevent behavior like this. We have unsubscribed to any sort of list they have sent, yet now begins the marketing from different sides.

Their email is also badly done. If you’re going to send a mass email, if you are any sort of marketer at all, you should realize that not everyone has “show images” turned on. Observe, the large pink block where the mail client has prevented the display of their message, which is a series of images. Also apparently during the email-list-import they didn’t include the “BKJ” portion of “BKJ Productions.”

LegacyBox, I understand how they could be so shabby, but Kodak? Really? Shame! We expect better of you, we will no longer buy your batteries.

So now, we need to spend unnecessary time filling out a complaint with the FTC.
