Lastminute.com spamming me - Update
Score!
Lastminute.com (or at least their loans arm) send their email through a third-party bulk-email company, Xpedite.
I had cc:ed them on a complaint email sent to lastminute.com. Lastminute.com merely sent me back an automated message "thanks for your enquiry, please try our online help pages", but Xpedite just got back to me with a human response, in which they said..
If this is true, then Lastminute.com and/or their loans division just got themselves into a little bit of hot water.
I hope this sends a strong message out that YOU MUST NOT SPAM!

Hello Toby;
I need to apologize for the actions of this company. I have issued a block on this customer, (they may not send again using our system). It appears that this company has violated their contractual agreement with Xpedite, and may be subject to legal action. Xpedite is the delivery agent for the message, and has no responsibility for the content. I have canceled their current job and disabled all links to our system (with the exception of the remove link). The actions by this customer were clear in their intent to circumvent the CAN SPAM ACt in the US and the Data Protection Act.
Once again, please accept my sincere apologies.
