Is this a case of harrassment?

    I have a friend that contacted a company on craigslist to see if they could exchange links.

    The Company responded with the following: (I added the ******* so as not to curse)

    "no [F******] thanks!!!!!!!!! Unless you want a heating or air conditioning quote DO NOT ever bother me again with your solicitations!!!!!!!!! GOT THAT?!! My ad states that it is NOT OK to contact me with other interests. If you do so again I will press harrasement charges against you. I will not warn you again. Good day"

    He emailed the poster and apologized for the inconvenience. Then the company above sent an email that the company reported him to local authorities.

    Is this a case of Harrassment? My friend was somewhat nervous after the exchange. What do you think?

    No thats not a case of harassment, sounds to me like someone needs a lesson in customer service. :D

    There is no need to be alarmed with this case, in order for him to report this matter for harassment then there would need to be multiple emails sent.

    Oh hell no dude. Don't worry about it. Thats just some high flutin asshole who thinks his shit don't stank. Thats not harassment at all, in fact, he is the one who is closer to harassment.

    he was probably having a bad day :confused:
    sitting by his email waiting for a sale or job offer to come in

    and dingdong your friends email comes in gets his hopes up thinking he has work :D
    only to find he's asking for alink exchange when on his posting
    he said it is not okay to send offers hmmm :(

    i would probably be pissed to and i'm not sure your friend sending a second email was a good idea
    but no he most likely didn't alert any authorities, just trying to scare him :eek:

    Good customer service is crucial to business, it sounds like this guy doesnt have a clue. Why not share his email here so we can all have a laugh?

    LOL, it shows his business is really down the hill and with such kind of behaviour he will surely loose more customers.
    You need not to worry. You did nothing that could go legally against you

    Your friend should not be worried. Its not harrasment. Just some dude spouting off because he is probably having a bad day or something. I wonder if he talks to customers like that. Thats one bad attitude...
