XY7.com and Rapid Response Marketing: Spammers

Posted by Marshall on April 26, 2006 | Link It

I got 2 letters in the mail this week from ZY7.com; I had no idea where they got my name from - but I think it was from SESNY06.  It was annoying.  Just now, I see the same thing happened to Jeremy Zawodny, who I saw at Webmasterworld in Boston last week.

I just received a letter in the mail from XY7.com that begins:

Dear Jeremy:

I hope you enjoyed the recent Search Engine Strategies Convention in New York as much as we at XY7.com did. I want to thank you for stopping by our booth. I hope that your investment of time was productive for you. Here’s an opportunity to make that investment even more valuable to you and your company.

It goes on for several paragraphs and a bulleted list, explaining why I should use their on-line marketing services. But there’s one major problem: I didn’t stop by their booth! (I very rarely give my card out to booth people at these conferences.)

If this sounds familiar, it’s because almost the same thing happened back in 2004 with Atlas OnePoint. Strangely, that was also the result of an SES Conference.

When are these people going to learn?!

I agree…let XY7 stop spamming mailing lists.
