Drag the Virgin of Asa Over ‘Spam’ e-mail

An interesting complaint has been filed by a customer of Virgin Media in the UK Advertising Authority (ASA). The plaintiff accused the TV, quad-play broadband Internet providers, phone and mobile provider marketing communication sent unsolicited e-mail (spam). The complaint in fact challenges the violation of the code of the PAC of the notice because the customer had previously called Virgin Media not to send commercial messages via email. Similar situations are experienced by many different companies, not just ISPs. It has been shown that when people check out your inbox, find the e-mail messages sent to them promotion. Security experts say that Virgin Media has ignored understand the answer “no” really means “no”. ASA has had a rap on the knuckles of his lack of respect for the privacy of subscribers. Madonna said in response to an e-mail message sent to inform people that Virgin Mobile has become a part of Virgin Media Group. Therefore, the company sent e-mail for customers who want to receive advertising when they met with the news. They added that the e-mail was not an ad. It contains no function calls. They had to do a notice to customers if they were not familiar with the newspaper and would not have been informed by the commercial. The company also said it would contact the customer during the Data Protection Act in rare situations. The situations could be the presence of companies should ensure that data is kept up to date and accurate. But the ASA considered that not only e-mail informing customers about the change, but also mentioned incentives such as “… You can get more exclusive agreements,” “gratitude, subscribe to our drawing for a free HD2 HTC *…” and “What can lose a lot?”. The advertising agency as the fact that e-mail spam. Therefore, ASA Virgin Media reported that such ads will not be allowed to appear in the current form and told me not to send spam emails, especially those customers who have requested exclusion.
