Starry nights Posted February 24, 2010 Share Heard it was about one success (someone sending them some money) from about 2 million emails sent out! Still makes it worthwhile for them. They get an email address trawler programme to collect addresses from the web - why you should not post it on the web if at all possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
