Nelson Holidays - Spam Email

[Jono Garton]

Anyone keep receiving a Neilson Holiday spam email?

They seem to have sent it to all sea schools on the rya database, I'm currently receiving their email at about 30 copies per minute!

Do the RYA sell this database to people???

I've recieved it around 500 times over night!! Glad its not just me recieving it!

If they were offering more than 10% off i might be slightly interested! My junk box is now dealing with it!

I assume they must get the details from the rya otherwise someone there has spent hours researching all sea schools

I suspect their servers have been hijacked - they may not even be aware they have a problem!!!

I dont think they have been hijacked

Not very good

But at least they've now made a nice explanation and apology and a conciliatory £50 voucher offer (not that I'll be taking it up)
