:Ditto.  I tried  to  bouce their message back to them but it was returned
:"address unknow".

What CREEPS!  They also sent the same unsolicited message to me, here
in Italy, including such ROFL sentences as "we speak your language"
(they DON'T! speak Italian actually, just marketspeak!) AND advertising
opening times designed such that taking timezones into account they
would NEVER coincide with Italian office hours, AND as main contact
points *800*-numbers (which CANNOT be called from Italy...!).  Just
to underscore that they just sent it to "everybody" without even the
common courtesy of checking AT ALL for the appropriateness of the
message for the adresseee... CREEPS, as I said.
