Tee-totally GREAT stuff.

This should act as a stern warning out there to the thousands of "marketing agencies" who actually do this exact same thing.

BTW: You all know who you are and your time online with your current business plan is coming to an end.

All that free e-mail they sent turned out to be pretty costly.

...failing to clearly identify its messages as advertising, and failing to clearly inform recipients that they could opt out of receiving more e-mail. was accused of violating a 2003 law that set strict guidelines for businesses that send commercial e-mail and set penalties for spammers. :cheers:

If they could pay $900,000 without a fight, you can bet they made a lot than that on the deal.

But it's a start; just another big tizzy over some email spammer ;)

Bring 'em on!!

But wait ... isn't that a "well rounded understanding of marketing" or some hogwash like that? :lol:

Maybe Mr. Uninformed can post this on his blog, too?

And their website is down too ... jtllc dot com

Perhaps they are going to do a TP and reappear with a new 'brand'.

One to watch.
