This is just a collection of e-mail addresses which have been "trawled" from the Internet. A computer simply generates millions of letter combinations and then adds @bigISP.com (eg. [log in to unmask]) and then sends them an email. Those that don't come back undelivered are therefore "validated" and included on the CD. It doesn't contain "personal data" because they do not know who the owners of any of the e-mail addresses are. -----Original Message----- From: This list is for those interested in Data Protection issues [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Sara Jane Newbon Sent: 22 October 2004 11:15 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: [data-protection] Fw: UK Email List ????? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Whitney" <[log in to unmask]> To: <[log in to unmask]> Sent: Friday, October 22, 2004 10:53 AM Subject: UK Email List > BULK EMAIL CD just £29.95 inc. p&p and contains: > > 4,600,000 VALIDATED UK email addresses - Verified in August > 2004, ensuring a low failure rate and only used privately. > > TO PURCHASE: Please send a Cheque/PO Payable to > "Unbelievable Secrets" for £29.95 and send to: > > Unit 716, > 78 Marylebone High Street, > London W1U 5AP > > The CD will be sent by first class post and you will also receive > FREE software to send 30,000+ emails per hour. > > Note: This CD does not contain any personal information > of email address owners eg name/address etc. > > ********************************************************************** This email and any files transmitted with it are confidential and intended solely for the use of the individual or entity to whom they are addressed.
