This is the E-mail i recieved I was not looking for information on their company. I (was) although looking for work on sites like career builder so how did they get my address? I only use that particular address for job searching. Again if they are a ligitimate company why are they useing spam mail to attract people to their business? the scary part is if he did get my address through a place like career builder he has a lot more info then just my e-mail address.

With this rapid expansion, we are looking for highly qualified professionals and leaders to help us continue our amazing growth. 2006 Monthly sales have increased by an average of 20% and the company is on target to hit $100 Million by October of this year!

Spam is spam is spam, No matter how you try to paint it!

AUTHOR: Lisa - ()

 Gaelen:

Just a clarification..........

Gaelen do you really think people are this stupid? I'll make this very simple. If you Google AlanBusinessGroup.com it goes directly to the Agel members website. SPAM IS SPAM IS SPAM!!! I had never even heard of that company! I don't appreciate it, I don't want it, and I'm smart enough to understand YOUR company either purchased my e-mail address yourselves or you authorized a hiring agent to do so.

In all actuality I can't blame career builder if it was them. They were made an offer that they accepted. My resume was at the time not listed on that site. It took years for me to get up the nerve to do that for exactly this reason! So it definitly was not available to you or any other company by means of a search.

Apologize? Well your simply an idiot if after invading my privacy, then you have the audacity to even suggest it was my responsibility to e-mail this idiot back to tell him I was not interested in his job? You have an awful lot of nerve to even so much as use that word apologize. In fact it's you and your company and their way of soliciting people that bares apology.

Let me explain something to you just as a side note. With my training I am very particular and was even more particular at that time in the job interviews I chose. My sales experience at that point was in the travel Industry. I worked as a sales rep selling hotel reservations. So what in gods name makes you or your company think I would have had any interest at all in your product. Whatever the heck it is you sell? Oh and by the way I don't use employment companys! In fact I HATE them! So much for that bit of milarky! I also did not have business cards, You don't use them as a sales rep. in the travel Industry. 

So you see you owe me an apology. It was really sad to watch you squirm the way you did with your lies and assumptions despite all the replies of people telling you what they also see as spam. This is a practice I abhor and I really despise being victim to it. And i really resent your request for an apology. Do I sound like a person who enjoys abuse and then says thank -you for it? Trust me I'm NOT!!!

In Your own words....."He probably got your information off of a lead site, which means some company sold your email address to that lead site." Now please correct me if I'm wroung but to me what your basically saying in that statement is that although you may not be doing it under the name of agel you condone the use of hireing agents or employees to purchase private e-mails of people off sites like career builder. Catch a clue Gaelen! That makes you a partner in all of their actions! In other words your company condones everything they do to solicit hirees.

I'll be looking for my apology :-) If your company is in all actuality a reputable company it can't be that hard.

#8 UPDATE Employee

Agel Does Not Send Unsolicited Email

AUTHOR: B - (U.S.A.)

POSTED: Monday, March 16, 2009

The only time you receive an email from Agel Enterprises is when you personally sign up with the company. This email you received was from an independent distributor of Agel. These people do not represent the company, but their own business. He probably got your information off of a lead site, which means some company sold your email address to that lead site.

John....reading is fundamental!

John:

I did not send the "spam" is the author stated. That wasn't me.

I simply made an inquiry as to the source of how the Agel representative acquired the young lady's name and contact info.

If she gave it to an employment company and they sold it, then she needs to address the company.

On the flip-side, the Agel rep. may have allowed too much time to pass after receiving this person's business card or a networking event before contacting her. I don't know the situation. It was not explained as to how the contact info was acquired.

No I am not supportive of people sending spam. If a person send spam from a legit company, that company's legitamacy still stands. I must then look at the representative.

But my initial suggestions were not considered, so I can only speak to the information given.

Yes... it is spam

AUTHOR: Hector - (Mexico)

POSTED: Tuesday, June 26, 2007

Yes, it is spam, but the company does not aprove sending unrequested email, or encourage any of it's distributors to do it. In my opinion, the person who wrote the email made a mistake, but i wouldn't blame the company for it. As far as my researh could find, Agel is a legitimate company.

#2 Consumer Comment

Certainly is spam.

AUTHOR: John - (U.S.A.)

POSTED: Sunday, January 28, 2007

Spam is unsolicitaed email-plain and simple. Especially when it is sent under the guise that they somehow have talked to or had actual contact with someone to which-in all reality-they have not. Much like the subject line of the spam she posted here. "Subject : Plan B we had previously Spoken About"
Also, this person has represented themselves as an agent for said spamming company thus making the company responsible for the associates actions.

Certainly no need for apologies here. Grow up and take it like a man that your tactic didn't work and people are tired of dealing with crap like yours.

#1 UPDATE Employee

Agel is QUITE ligitimate!

AUTHOR: Galen - (U.S.A.)

POSTED: Sunday, January 28, 2007

Lisa:

Just a clarification....

SPAM is unsolicited e-mail without the senders contact information.

It appears that you (by your own admission) were looking for employment or an income stream and supplied your info to some outside company. The team member in Agel (he is NOT an employee -- the titles here are limited) simply sent you some info based on your inquiry.

The company (Agel Enterprises, LLC) did not send you anything. If at all, blame the individual who is affiliated with Agel. And even then, by this gentleman supplying his name and contact info, you have a means and method of letting him know that you are not interested in the opportunity and request that he not send you additional info.

Further, you might want to check this source from which you claim he acquired your contact info. IF he bought a lead (I do not know how he acquired your info), then they (that company) are the one's who sold your info. You'd be more accurate and proper to write this report against THEM instead!! I'm sure that your e-mail and other contact info that you supplied to said company is not accessible by the general public.

Afterwards, an apology would be nice. :-)
