I have received emails from the BC Liberals for a while now, every time I get one, I mark it as spam. Why? Because every single email the BC Liberals has ever sent me, is spam. Most of the emails I mark as spam without reading, but from the ones with titles ambiguous enough that I’d click on it, it’s evident that my email was added to some mailing list for BC Liberals propaganda. All form letters, many of which designed to get their supporters do to something.
I have never signed up to any BC Liberals spam list, in fact I have never given them my email address by any means. Their frequent emails are wholly unsolicited and unwanted. How did my address end up on their spam list? My best guess is that a Liberal supporter/organizer who shall remain unnamed took some unrequested liberty with use of my email address. I gave him my email to continue a conversation about some BCYL event I was marginally interested in, nothing was mentioned about being added to a spam list. I decided that the event wouldn’t have worked out with my schedule, and that should have been it, but soon I started receiving BC Liberal spam. Correlated much?
