Normally I'd be more forgiving of a single errant e-mail, but these punks also sent the same spam to Anthrocon as well. It's apparent to me that they are using some automated program to scrape addresses that the *think* are in the Delaware Valley area.
I smell a Better Business Bureau complaint in this company's future. If I'm feeling sufficiently nasty, maybe a phonecall to Burlington County Chamber of Commerce, too. But I think posting their spam here is sufficient. Now Google searches on them should bring up this page, and people can see what sort of disguesting marketing practice they engage in. :-)
[Update: I discovered that Miles Technologies is a member of the BCCoC. So I sent them a complaint about their member. Ah, just like the good ol' days of hanging out on SPAM-L!]
