Anyone else get "Unsolicited email" (SPAM!) from RCW Financial from their registry set(s)?

Bochiman

I received an unsolicited email today from "Mark" at RCW Financial (rare coin wholesalers?) today.

Title was the name of one of my registry sets. Entire email was just a coin/price/grade/phone number.

I wouldn't mind a "hey...notice you have a registry set of these....I have something that may interest you as you are missing the date/mm..." but just to get a sterile email, with a coin I already have (granted, theirs is a higher grade, and double the price.....) and I just write the person/company off my list.

So, Mr Mark Curtis "Institutional Consultant" at RCW Financial, don't call me, and I won't bother calling you as you had 1 strike and just used it with the SPAM


Not sure if others are getting these from this person/company as well.....?

Which registry set?

Basic set, half cents

Everyone quick spam the half cent set holders lol just kidding. That is a rude way to get business but on the other hand it is very direct with no BS. A lot of registry people are said to be a bit more crazy than the rest of us, the rest of us, the rest of us......

Nope- no spam here.

Perhaps they don't have any collectible holders??

I think you can opt out of receiving emails from your registry sets, if not there will always be emails coming from people trying to buy or sell you coins.

I have it open for email, as I don't mind being contacted, if it is done in not so cold and impersonal way. If a collector, or even a dealer, would start out by "saw your set and have something you may, or may not, be interested in...." and then gave details, I would be fine.

As it is, the way it was sent, I found it very impersonal and something akin to phishing (though, I don't think that is what it is).

I have worked in the tech field for decades now and the initial trigger on this bordered between phishing and spam to me. If that is how they do it with everyone, then, imho, they suck and are doing themselves a disservice.

Again, that's MY opinion.
