Spammed By LimestoneNetworks
Hi Jonothon,
I want to start off thanking you for putting your efforts into 24khost.com . I have been reaching out to websites like your own who are driven by better serving others and have the potential to grow. My name is Richard Payne and I am in business development with Limestone Networks. We are a dedicated server provider out of Dallas, Texas. I was wondering if I could have a few moments of your time via email, to communicate what Limestone Networks can do for you, as well as provide you with a few custom quotes for our dedicated servers if desired. I look forward to hearing from you.
P.S.- At this current point I will be able to quote you with some extremely great prices
I feel special, spammed by a large company.
Comments
we've had this before as well.
@Liam good point! I just couldn't believe that I got this email. As Yoda would say -> Struggling to get new customers are they?
Anyway, we'd get this every few months also. You'd think they would get the hint...
@Damian Problem is they violated my rights by sending me the spam in the first place as I didn't request it. So by me not agreeing to recieve this spam, and I didn't agree to these rules before I recieved it. I believe I have done nothing wrong.
@24khost: Indeed. You should respond to their email, soliciting your own services.
LOL send to [email protected] and see what is their reply.
A link to this thread wont hurt in his inbox.

So Richard wrote to me after he saw this post.
I responded With a carbon copy to [email protected] but was returned unknown user.
fixed the address i think should be [email protected] here is what i returned to him.

By the way do you guys find what I have done in this post out of line?
This part makes me cringe:
"P.S.- At this current point I will be able to quote you with some extremely great prices"
Not only are they offering their services and custom quotes and one to one talking with their Business guy, but they're tempting you with a "PS"? Must be a rought time for LSN.
@24KHost I find that with you posting the entire e-mail is breaking their little "privacy" statement at the bottom, but you've done no harm, you could of given us the jist; they may kick up a fuss
. Can't beleive this sort of crap happens.
Not really... Everything you've done at this point seem reasonable.
@eastonch. I mean really they can't get down to the prices I get. I am pretty sure of it. But if I wanted a quote I would have asked for it. Just kinda floored me and i thought you guys would enjoy it.
@Liam, mind posting it on a img sharing site? College doesnt like Facebook
@Liam I second that.
@24khost Yeah; when I look at dedi's I go to providers I've been with before, I don't wait for them to contact me; and I certainly don't go for deals like this.
@eastonch
Supposedly, this is the ceo with his girlfriend at a park? Seems like so much fun!
ohhh, so that's where monthly rent goes? Haha, cool!
Haha, just a quick question, why would the ceo of a company have a picture of his friends/girlfriend at a fair on their business facebook page? Company seems legit!!
That's a good point, that was posted on their wall? Seems bad..
The only thing to this recreational fun that would make the company look better in any respect, is possibly group photos of all the techies at six flags or some other US theme park ^^, then a screenshot of the ticket system blowing up during their outing
!
Company outing?
So i had to edit the first post. As Kris said there could be legal ramifications if i didn't. Not that I am really worried as they would be in violation of the canned spam act. Regardless they are removing me from there marketing list. So this is kinda funny.
I'm pretty sure you would have won.. I don't recall a United States court case where the soliciting party won. Other countries may not be the same.
+1 for that. Did they offer anything at all? Or just threaten with legal action? If their default action is to threaten with legal action, might be a company to stay away from.
@24khost I wonder how long it is before you end back up on that list.
Curious about the legal rammifications; how can they send you a agreement that you're automatically agreeing too, without any preior knowledge? Seems fishy.
@Liam I'm interested in this too.
@Damian -- An outing and images would be great to post, but not pictures of him and his fiance / gf / wife or "partner" queing up for a ride.

LSN is a good company, but this is not acceptable
oh my lord. I have been forwarded to the legal department now. @Cheif You will be receiving a dmca take down notice for the email portion I have posted.
Agreed!
Yikes... A little on the scary side
@24khost you should edit the title to Limestonenetworks and add the word review somewhere in the first post
