I did not get this email....I do not have mine posted. But is it really wrong to go through this site and copy those address's that are posted for the general user to view? I guess anyone could do that. Just wondering.

I received two but they are not exactly the same email. Could be because I'm on two tractor forums.

I just quickly checked tractorpoint and there have been no posts related to this scam/survey. That tells me it might just be localized to TBN.

Yes. It's a violation of the U.S. Federal "Can Spam" law, passed by congress and signed by the President, in effect January 1st, 2004.

Harvesting e-mail addresses as we believe this company has done, is a violation of this law and carries severe penalties.

As I said, we will do what we can to get it stopped.

Got it and forwarded as requested. Thanks for your hard work to stop this sort of thing.

I would have been happy to answer their survey if they had gone about it correctly.

You know... I think I'm going to reply to it and see what happens. If nothing else, I'll be able to let you all know if there's any follow up or anything.

Yes, it is "wrong." First, it is a violation of our TBN Terms of Service; Second it is specifcially a violation of the recently passed FEDERAL LAW (the CANSPAM Act of 2003). Harvesting emails from web sites is ILLEGAL and carries both civil and criminal penalities. Sending spam email to addresses so harvested, is further violation of CANSPAM. We are taking it very seriously, rest assured.

I got it, too. It is the second thing I got from TBN like that. The first was quite a while ago and was about Paynes Forks. I haven't deleted it yet, so I will forward it. I was gonna post a topic about it, but I didn't know if it was a TBN legit thing. Ok, just sent the forward...

I got it too, and forwarded it to you.
I'm sure, as a consulting firm, they are selling a client a very specific group of tractor buyers so they can SPAM the heck out of all of us. John
