Re: [Skunkworks] [Security Forum] Disclaimers in Email Signatures

Hi all, Apologies for cross-posting. I've been getting some transaction advice notices from Equity Bank, on this email address. Problem is I don't have an account with them, but one Susan Muchai does. I've repeatedly written back advising them I shouldn't be receiving them but they don't respond. What pisses me off most is that they have that legal disclaimer text down there. Well, I've just about had it. My last reply to them was to the effect that I'll post every single email they send me from now henceforth, on social media. I'll post it on FB, tweet it, Instagram it, whatever. That way I may get their attention. Let's see how this goes. Regards, Steve. On Tue, Feb 24, 2015 at 10:09 AM, Morgan Kisienya via Security < security@lists.my.co.ke> wrote:

You might be probably writing back to an auto mailer. Try writing to their customer care. On Tue, Mar 3, 2015 at 2:46 PM, Steve Muchai via skunkworks < skunkworks@lists.my.co.ke> wrote:

thanks, but been there, done that. At some point I actually called their customer care line. Should have recorded that conversation. Regards, Steve On Tue, Mar 3, 2015 at 1:54 PM, Jimmy Thuo <jimmy.thuo@gmail.com> wrote:

What was the conversation like? You've peaked my curiosity. On Tue, Mar 3, 2015 at 3:01 PM, Steve Muchai via skunkworks < skunkworks@lists.my.co.ke> wrote:

It was totally casual on the part of the lady I spoke to. She could have been painting her toenails. Regards, Steve. On Tue, Mar 3, 2015 at 2:03 PM, Brian Ngure <brian@pixie.co.ke> wrote:
