Marketing biz sent 107 million spam emails... to just 437k people
A recruitment business that sent out an eye watering 107 million spam emails is now nursing a £130,000 fine from Britain’s data watchdog.
London-based Join The Triboo Limited dispatched the spams to some 437,324 people between August 2019 and August 2020, meaning the lucky recipients would have found an average of 244 of these messages in their inbox, the Information Commissioner’s Office told us. “It’s an issue many of us face - opening up our email inboxes and it being filled with emails we did not ask for or consent to,” said Andy Curry, ICO head of investigations. “This shouldn’t be considered a fact of life.
The ICO found that in addition to direct marketing, JTT also acts as an agency by hosting electronic marketing for third parties to its own distribution lists. And JTT does lead generation and publishes several"editorial" websites that write about job-related topics in which users could subscribe.
