    Does that include the homeless gentlemen arguing over their methadone outside the station?

    Just counted 48 emails in my spam folder from the same outfit over the period Jul '12 to Mar '13. I seem to recall there were a few missed calls coinciding with the early emails.
    No emails for 2 months now...

I've 'unsubscribed' again...

    You should never unsubscribe from emails like that as now they know your email account is active and looked at.

    Just set up your email account so they go into your spam folder.

    I've had loads of these, trying to get me to meet their senior consultant, regional director or whatever. Usually it's the same names, different titles each time
