TheMetroWineCo Wine Spam

TheMetroWineCo appears to think it is a good idea to send unsolicited email to people. Personally my message to them is this, “You can shove your wine bottles up your ass fucking spamming wankers”.

Today I received and a number of people I know received a spam email as follows.

Now since this is an Australian company I’ve made a report to ACMA, and hopefully they get off their big faceless Government ass and do something about this guy.

Just for reference sake, the maximum fine for a breach under the Spam Act 2003 is AU$1,100,000. (10000 penalty units).
