    Default Timbecon Mailing List

    Hi

    I put myself on the TImbecon mailing list for specials etc and I have been receiving the same email over and over each week. The email header refers to a web site called clue.system ( see below ) for specials then goes on to repeat specials that expired last year.

    The email seems to come from From: "Timbecon - Robert Iles" but in reality it comes from clue.system. So that much is fake.

    Anyone else receiving this ?

    Works ok for me ..... received the March specials this afternoon and it opens in on the web email (and Iphone) and if I click on the "having trouble" section it opens up in Google Chrome without a problem. It does say in the tab its e-Mail Campaigner - March 2010.

    "The email seems to come from From: "Timbecon - Robert Iles" but in reality it comes from clue.system. So that much is fake."

    It might be the case it is send through e-Mail Campaigner (or clue.systems) on behalf of Robert Iles. But rich having a dig about that ..... at least he is making it clear that it is being sent on his behalf.

    I am quite happy .... a product that I have been semi interested in is now $50 off so I have just shot off my order

    I received the same email today. To be honest I rarely look to closely at these things, but I did note that the products advertised were the same as the last email from Timbecon some days ago and wondered why the repeat.
