Singapore Junk

[Tas]

If you have a junk list that you add spammers to so they receive bundles of trash, I don't personally have a list to add stuff to, but this Singapore based soul has p'd me off as he's scavenged this from somewhere related.

I've been getting a lot of stuff recently from somebody in Singapore that I know personally, who had my email address on the mailing list of a previous business in which he was a partner. He seems to think it's OK to send me non-personalised emails (i.e., spam) advertising all his mates' businesses.

It's not. I've marked his email address as spam and, if I get one more, he will be getting a stern word or two and perhaps I won't be so discreet.

What are the spam laws in Singapore? I still receive quite a few emails from businesses there, that don't have Unsubscribe facilities on their spam. I've emailed them all asking politely to be taken off the database, and still I get them. (Yes, One Rochester, I'm talking about YOU. How many more times do I have to email you back?)

I send emails for a living and I know we would get in big trouble if we did likewise in Oz.

Singapore follows the CAN SPAM regulations. Every email should have an unsubcribe link. If they don't then they can be fined I believe.

I get spam sms's: as much as I can "unsub" to them, I get another one. It clearly states <ADV> so someone somewhere has figured them out. I wonder if Singtel are selling my phone number?
