I received an email from a sales person from tonight, the same email that was also sent to 104 others. How do I know 104 others? Because all 104 email addresses are displayed in the email. The email was not Bcc'd, everyone's email address is visible to all. Reliance has released their customer information to everyone that received this email. I have called Reliance, their response, nothing we can do,,,, call back on Monday.
Unfortunately, no way to make it right
Oh you could probably sue them for privacy issues.
A thorough read of their privacy policy would tell you whether or not you missed the "fine print" which most companies have,negating any chance of a successful lawsuit. The simple fact is that almost all companies sell their mailing lists and/or customer profiles to the highest bidder unless expressly stated that it won't. The devil's in the details.Quote:

Now in all fairness this email/intertweb thingy is still fairly new. I'm sure they'll figure things out soon.:rolleyes:
Im pretty sure that approach could get you an appointment with a judge !Quote:

Send her 10,000.00 fax's of the same complaint letter starting friday evening until monday morning . That should take care of it.
It must have been a glitch because I got the same reliance email bill notification and it was sent only to my email address.
Why not simply block the e-mail sender? It's possible it may be spam,anyway.
It wasn't a bill notification, it was a sales pitch from a sales person that doesn't understand the concept of Bcc.Quote:

Unfortunate that this happens but as others have said there is no personal information contained in an email address. I would email the individual back and let them know of their mistake. It has happened many times to me and it can be annoying.
