What to do next:
If you feel the contract could be of interest to you, I am available to discuss in more depth and would be keen to find out more about your business.
Additionally, if you would like to declare a formal interest and feel that your company fits the criteria mentioned above feel free to contact using the details below.
Hum!
Lets do some sums!
There are 121 postcode areas in the UK
This email claims they have 3000 customers
So using 475 properties they must have about 7 sparks on their books covering 121 postcodes
My response went along the lines of:
"Please remove me from your data base.
Your business model is known in the trade as a waste of money and fundamentally a scam"
Not unsurprisingly I've not had a response yet!
