Seth Godin’s got a nice riff on spam here. The Dell spam is funny, but the BBB story hits close to home. I’ve received similar voicemails from the BBB. Their messages are a little scary, as if there’s been a complaint registered about our company. When you return their call, you get a sales pitch (which is sad, because we’re already BBB members). Not nice. Legal maybe, but not nice.
