A few days ago I got an email with the subject line, "Congratulations! You received payment." But the message was an invitation to join a program under the sender. I emailed him and pointed out that his subject line was deceiving. He wrote back and told me to stop complaining and, in effect, told me to f**k off and than he removed me from his list. How about that? Talk about professionalism.
That is very rude indeed, he could use a better subject than that one and get better responses to his offer.
report it as spamming? deceptive email subject line.. I got a lot of scam emails using the same trick
Indeed. The subject line actually showed desperation, not to mention disrespect for his subscribers. It also shows laziness in considering a more honestly compelling subject line. Perhaps it's partly my fault for opting in to a list without giving much thought to who was asking for my email address. Lesson learned.
If the list is not a one that you want to read then I suggest you use a separate email address just for opt-in forms, I usually put them there and don't bother to open it.
