Biz Bankruptcy

Just a quick plain English note about our Anti-Spam policy here at Biz Bankruptcy. First of all we never send out unsolicited commercial email (UCE or SPAM) period. We never will. Plus we don’t do cold telemarketing calls or junk faxes either.

We only correspond via email and phone with those persons or businesses that have contacted us first and with those we have an established business relationship with. In other words we pre-qualify our business clients by making them initiate first contact with us. We don’t like being bothered with unsolicited phone calls and emails either. So we follow the “Golden Rule” and try to treat our visitors, clients, and complete strangers with the same respect we want to receive.

In fact the only unsolicited commercial correspondence we ever make is via the United State Postal Service with a first class stamp.

So unlike other disreputable firms sending the equivalent of millions of electronic sales-solicitations postage-due to their potential clients, we foot the bill for our own direct marketing. In fact if your foolish enough to respond to sales-solicitations made in such a disreputable manner we don’t want you as a client. To us it’s just a big red flag.

However, Because of our stance against unsolicited commercial email we are now periodically having our domain name “spoofed” for large amounts of spam. So if you think you received any spam from us please check the IP address of the sending email server and you will find the true sending party. It will not be us.

Having said that we also would like to point out another thing that pisses us off. That is the common practice for a lot of sites to claim that you “opted-in” when in fact they purchased your email address from someone (who lied about their privacy policy) or just went out and harvested your email address direct from the Internet.

We use to try and “opt-out” of these initial emails but as it turns out anyone who lies about you “opting-in” in the first place is not likely to remove you from their mailing list. Now we just blacklist these fake “opt-ins” from our email servers.

BTW, In the future we are going to be posting the names of companies who deal in the practice of fake “opt-ins”.

However, unlike the idiot who runs the “Better Ethics Online - Email Black List” we will not just list a bunch of “spoofed” email addresses of innocent parties. How this idiot got his site listed in the “Open Directory Project” I’ll never know. (So much for supposed quality of a human editor.)

What we are going to do here is report the names of the actual companies that are the “end-users” who are deriving their economic gain from spamming you at your expense. That is the least we can do.

Thanks for stopping bye.
