Journal: LOVEFiLM Appears to Condone Affiliate Spam 0

Journal by NoSCO on Saturday June 06 2009, @08:04AM

I received an email to one of my hundreds of spam-trap addresses a few days ago, promoting a free trial of the LOVEFiLM service (UK version of Netflix). Ironic, as only a few days ago I was promoting the service myself on my blog as I love it so much. "This will be easy", I thought to myself, and fired off an email to their Customer Service team with full headers and a description as to how the email had arrived.

Here in the UK there's no competition for the iPhone (not that I want one anyway) but the rates and plans are actually pretty darn good.

I'm more of a Nokia person myself, and my N95 on the 3UK network provides 1,100 minutes inclusive or 1,100 text messages or any mixture of the two providing the total of both is not more than 1,100 (extremely unlikely in my case!); A further 300 minutes for 3-to-3 calls (which is fine as all my relatives and most friends use 3); unlimited internet access (proper internet, not just WWW); 90 video minutes, they support Skype properly and all sorts of other stuff. Total outlay per month is $80 USD (converted).

People complain about ripoff Britain but some things we actually seem to get a reasonable deal on.
