They appear to have bought a list of spammed e-mail addresses from well-known spammer Frankdata International Marketing Limited and are thereby helping to keep this spammer in business.

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.
