At this point I assume someone who never sends an email like this is just dishonest. Be quick to admit fault.
Shit happends everywhere.
And probably committing a crime as well, at least in the EU I think.
I wonder if that regulation makes companies more or less likely to lie about it. I could theorize all day but I guess if I knew the answer it would change the answer 😂
This is why, while the adverts could be made by a professional, you are actually conducting the emailing campaign yourself. After all, you are a host.
I like how the slug for the news link just says
/Important-Update/
. Turns out that Vultr has a spotless security record*, which I think is impressive for a major hosting provider that's been operating for almost a decade..* or they're good at covering up
That includes typos.
I've never got such an email from mxroute...
Was waiting for that 😂
Allow me to recommend a classic book for children: Nobody is Perfick
