Rackspace Spamming Me!

At about lunch time in the UK I received an email from Rackspace. Not too long ago I was looking for a new web host for our group and Rackspace was one of the companies I approached. Rackspace was emailing me about possibly moving our business over to their hosting service and what they might be able to offer to make this happen. I thought this was very nice of them and was amazed that they even got back to me.

The email that was send was from their sales department and then after the first one I received every ten minutes after there was an identical email send to me. Rackspace SPAMMING ME! This happened for about an hour after the first email and it only seemed to stop when I sent them an email saying “stop spamming me!”

Rackspace have to be one of the leaders in the USA for medium level web hosting, so why do they have to go to the extent of spamming potential customers to gain more business? This will only hurt them!
