Two e-mail messages, both entitled “Freedom from specs and contacts with laser eye surgery” but sent to two different domain names and two different users, a “Richard Gummer” and a “Richard Rooke”. Obviously these two names are fictitious and only exist on Frankdata’s spam database.

Optical Express have promised to investigate and get back to me…

Well I’d just like the RAC to know that I will never buy any of their goods or services as a result of this. If you hate spam, why not do likewise and boycott firms who use spammers.

[Update]

Well the RAC called me back a couple of times, but refused to get their Marketing Department – presumably the ones who paid for the spamming campaign and made arrangements with Colin Franklin to send it – to discuss it with me as they don’t deal with the public.

In view of that, a formal complaint has now been made to the Information Commissioner’s Office – see the link at the foot of this page.
