PS A factoring agreement can often help right at the start if you get this from the correct company with the correct advice. It can also assist you in attaining your O licence and free up capital for you. Be careful though there are many rogue factors out there!!

No

The matter is being delt with at the moment Conor, can only apologise that it has happened but unfortunately the nature of the PM system means it can be abused in this way. We can deal with it when it is brought to our attention though so thank you.

I’m sure I got it as an email but IIRC, I deleted it straight away.

I’m also failrly sure it said it had something along the lines of TN’s consent or approval or something. :confused:

I didn’t delete it!

*etc etc*

When did this happen mate? I ask because they’ve been warned about it once, so an occurance AFTER that warning will earn them a ban. :imp:

If they said they had our permission THEY LIED!!!

If you have the FULL e-mail, including the headers, could you send it on to Lucy@Truck.Net please?

I have no time for idiots like this…By abusing the site and it’s members they are detracting from the real, paying advertisers who pay to keep this place afloat. We would NEVER give permission for unsolicited stuff like this to be sent out - if ANYONE sends you this sort of rubbish it is spam, so just send it straight along to me.

Apologies everyone, I’m doing my best. :blush:

My mistake, the date is posted on the copy above. It’s dated March 2nd, I received the first complaint and warned them on March 4th, so hopefully there will be no more.

If anyone does get anything from these prats dated after March 4th, please don’t hesitate to pass it on and the ban will be forthcoming.

Apologies again. I really do loathe these spammers. They just have no respect for anything. :angry:

I’m off to calm down now… :blush: :wink: :stuck_out_tongue:

Sorry for not including the date Lucy - it was dated 2nd March. If you still need me to forward it, I will.
