Ahh, newsletter spam. Boyles Furniture, of the Hendricks Furniture Group, doesn’t seem to care that I have unsubscribed to their newsletter 14 times in the past six months. It’s kind of a game now. They send me a newsletter in violation of the Federal CAN-SPAM Act and I forward that newsletter to the Federal Trade Commission, their hosting providers, their internet provider et al…

Also of interest, their message uses 4 separate email addresses and pulls content from 6 different websites. The main domain registration for boyles.com has privatized registration information at Network Solutions, but if you check the other sites in the spam, you will find some other (ineffective) contact information. Someone doesn’t want to be easily tracked down. They conveniently don’t include a phone number in their CAN-SPAM required contact information in the email footer. Though not required, most responsible emailers include a phone number as a sign of good will and integrity. Their sales/order number was also unhelpful.

Here’s a list of the websites that their ‘newsletter’ is advertising or pulling content from:
boyles.com
hendricksfg.com
hendricksfurnituregroup.com
boylesfurniture.com
boylesfurniture.net
classicmoving.net

The sites are hosted by Peak 10 Data Center Solutions, which has not responded to any spam complaints with any action so far. Other networks involved are twtelecom.net and att.net. IP Address of 66.129.72.6 resolves to E-dreamz Inc in Charlotte, NC.
