YOU HAVE YOUR SAY
EVERY week, Money Mail receives hundreds of your letters and emails about our stories. Here are some of the best from our story about a reader who took legal action against a spam mail pest which was fined £530: I RECEIVED numerous calls and emails from two different estate agents whom I had never employed. They stopped only when I threatened legal action. B. E., Wilmslow, Cheshire. I GET approximately ten spam emails a day and they are all from the U. S. Obviously my details were sold on when a company was hacked. I report all the messages as phishing, but the same emails turn up time and time again. R. J., Filey, N. Yorks. WHEN I started receiving spam mail, I decided to redirect it to two firms I suspected of passing on my details. All of my junk mail now goes to them. Revenge is a dish best served cold. W. O., Milton Keynes. I CREATED a contacts group of spam email addresses. Each time I receive a suspicious email, I send it to that group. I now receive very few of these messages, so it clearly works. A. N., email. IF YOU ask a company to remove your email address from its contact list, it should do just that. If it doesn’t oblige, then it is misusing the email system. It’s a waste of your time and that of the company itself. E. O., East Midlands. COMPANIES that hand out people’s contact details should face a bigger penalty than £500. After a 14-month legal fight, the web developer should have been given £1,500 at the very least. B. S., Lincolnshire. I PLAYED a lottery game online on one occasion. I ticked a box to say I didn’t want to be contacted, but I have received a barrage of texts ever since. They are invasive and irritating. A. C., Liverpool.
