First of all, please don't yell at us.

I think we would all prefer you don't send us email until you got to know us.

If you got to know us, you would learn we're all VERY happy with the travel agent we currently use, who for many of us spends hard earned money paying for this website, and it's really rude to come here and troll for new clients.

If I get emails like that, they get reported as spam. Most email servers don't really care for that canned meat.

Mine went automatically to spam. Can't beleive someone would go onto another Agency's website and send email to their memebers - even if it is on an open forum, its still on a specific Agency site, not like CC.

Vacationhit, if you are trolling for business, you just lost all credibility. No one wants to receive your spam emails, please stop.

If anyone has received an email from this person, I suggest you put them on your blocked email list. If you are not sure how to do this, click on the email to highlight it and then choose "messages" at the top of your Outlook window and choose "block sender"

For AOL users, I was told to report the email as spam and it should be banned in the future. If there are other AOL directions, feel free to let me know!

Our TA EARNS her clients through TRUST, HONESTY, HARD WORK, INTEGRITY and GREAT SATISFACTION in a job EXTREMELY WELL DONE!

Vacationhit, Perhaps you should try to do the same! Your tactics are by far a "hit" with this board.

I reported them as SPAM!

This spammer spammed me on my travelblog <img border="0" alt="[c]" title="" src="graemlins/c.gif" /> <img border="0" alt="[c]" title="" src="graemlins/c.gif" /> . I immediately reported the spammer.

Margo, this is how I did it on my Mac, your Windows AOL may be different.

Go into Mail controls, then mail and spam filters. On my list, there is a "use a custom sender list". When I checked that, I could put that idiot on the list to NEVER accept mail from them. I have also sent an email to that website that spam is not welcome here. It may make them mad and they may flood me with it, but we'll see.

As I said mine automatically went to spam intially, but I did get an email from them, so I reported it as spam and sent a tearse reply back to remove me and told them what I thought of their tactics.

I guess I should consider myself lucky as this person didn't attempt to reach me ( or left out! LOL!).

Can they seriously expect to get business this way?

I missed the beginning of this thread. Did the spammer actually post an advertisement here?

I did get the e-mail, but didn't know, until today, that it was a LCT-er....or a pseudo LCT-er.

If I remember correctly they wanted to know what our favorite cruise ship was. The title was in all caps, which is why I said please don't yell at us!

They said they work for the vacationhit site, and wanted to know what our favorite ship is. Then I got a second email, saying they weren't spamming but wanted us to know about their site.

:app: Love it Robert and Pam!!! I got an email back in response to the one I sent earlier this is what it said:

"Hello,
I don't send you a spam just a one time information about a new cruise site. This was just advertisement for us and information for you, so please don't be mad about us.
Thanks TK"

I don't know how to do the quote thing you'all do, but you should have seen the response I sent back.

And now for something completely different! :D

Man: Well, what've you got?

Waitress: Well, there's egg and bacon; egg sausage and bacon; egg and spam; egg bacon and spam; egg bacon sausage and spam; spam bacon sausage and spam; spam egg spam spam bacon and spam; spam sausage spam spam bacon spam tomato and spam;
...spam spam spam egg and spam; spam spam spam spam spam spam baked beans spam spam spam...
...or Lobster Thermidor a Crevette with a mornay sauce served in a Provencale manner with shallots and aubergines garnished with truffle pate, brandy and with a fried egg on top and spam.

Wife: Have you got anything without spam?

Waitress: Well, there's spam egg sausage and spam, that's not got much spam in it.

Wife: I don't want ANY spam!

Man: Hasn't got as much spam in it as spam egg sausage and spam, has it?

Wife: Could you do the egg bacon spam and sausage without the spam then?

Waitress: Urgghh!

Wife: What do you mean 'Urgghh'? I don't like spam!

Waitress: You can't have egg bacon spam and sausage without the spam.

Wife: I don't like spam!

Man: Sshh, dear, don't cause a fuss. I'll have your spam. I love it. I'm having spam spam spam spam spam spam spam baked beans spam spam spam and spam!

Waitress: Baked beans are off.

Man: Well could I have her spam instead of the baked beans then?

Waitress: You mean the spam spam spam spam spam and spam?

I had some fun with this one today when I needed a break. I told this person I didn't appreciate getting spam. They wrote back that it wasn't spam, but they were letting us know about a new site. So being me, I wrote the following just now:

Quote
I find it hard to believe in this day and age you continue to insist you didn't send spam. ANY UNSOLICITED MAIL IS SPAM!!!(In case you don't understand the word unsolicited, it means: I didn't ask for it...and IF I DIDN'T ASK YOU TO SEND IT TO ME then it's SPAM.) And in case you still aren't clear, let me quote from the Heritage Dictionary:

American Heritage Dictionary - Cite This Source

spam (spm) Pronunciation Key n.

Unsolicited e-mail, often of a commercial nature, sent indiscriminately to multiple mailing lists, individuals, or newsgroups; junk e-mail.

tr.v. spammed, spam·ming, spams

To send unsolicited e-mail to.

To send (a message) indiscriminately to multiple mailing lists, individuals, or newsgroups.

Based on this definition from a reliable dictionary, what you're doing is spamming! Care to try to refute that?
I wrote two more sentences but this is a happy site so I decided to leave those last two sentences off. :D

OK, here is another one:

Man: Is this the right room for an argument?
Mr. Vibrating: I've told you once.
Man: No you haven't!
Mr. Vibrating: Yes I have.
Man: When?
Mr. Vibrating: Just now.
Man: No you didn't!
Mr. Vibrating: I did!
Man: Didn't!
Mr. Vibrating: Did!
Man: Didn't!
Mr. Vibrating: I'm telling you, I did!
Man: You did not!
Mr. Vibrating: Oh I'm sorry, just one moment. Is this a five minute argument, or the full half hour?
Man: Ah! Just the five minutes. :D
