Golden Spiders Still To Pay
January 9, 2008 at 11:25 am
Shocking news. The Golden Spiders, aka Business & Finance Magazine, have not yet paid the €500 they agreed to pay to a charity of my choice for their blatant and multiple spamming. View post. The agreement was made on 11 December and the people at Daisyhouse were delighted at the prospect of this windfall before Christmas. Unfortunately this was not to be.
I ask you - what is €500 to a large and cash rich organisation like the Golden Spiders? They get that for filling part of a table. And spare a thought for the difference that kind of money could make to the people who benefit from Daisyhouse’s services.
Do they think this is going away? Surely they can’t be that stupid. I brought it to the attention of the Data Commissioners before Christmas, and seeing as I haven’t heard anything back, I followed up with a phone call this morning. My contact there is going to call the Golden Spiders people and remind them today.
More on this when I hear. But in the meantime feel free to link to this post about what a miserly shower the Golden Spiders are. All the inbound links to the post about the fine have pushed this subject onto page 1 of Google when you search for Golden Spiders! Thanks to everyone.
** Update on 16 January **
Every day I reminded the Data Commissioners to ask Golden Spiders/Business & Finance people to get the skids on and pay up. Yesterday I said I’d had enough and was taking it to my solicitor to enforce payment. Lo and behold, yesterday the €500 was paid to Daisyhouse. So thank you Business & Finance, and here’s hoping I never hear from Golden Spiders again. Because if I do…ah ah… you know what’s going to happen!!
