How did Benchmark Ventures get my office email address?

UncleJoeUncleJoe Posts: 2,552 ✭✭✭
I just received the following email at my office. I don't have any idea how they got my office email. What do you think? Joe.


GIANT MEMORIAL WEEKEND SALE

For first time this year we are offering our entire inventory at wholesale (dealer cost) to you, our Benchmark clients.

We are in a BULL market so take this opportunity to review this list carefully and select a blue chip investment coin(s) or one you need for your collection. There is something here for everyone.

Call us early with your first, second and third choices so that we can put the coin(s) on hold for you.

Interest free layaway plans available and flexible terms on larger purchases.

If you would like to have one of our senior portfolio managers work with you in selecting the right type of investment coin(s) for your portfolio just call and ask.

The rare coin market has appreciated 62% since 2001 and has a long way to go.

Thank you,
Benchmark Ventures

    They're pretty effective at digging up eMail addresses for their SPAM machine. CoinPete will be along shortly to explain it all.

    Whenver someone turns on the investment speak, I stop listening.

    Parts of the market have gone up 60% on average. However the lower end coins they could not sell (and overpaid for) are now for sale at "wholesale." (hint...they still make a profit)

    I was on the "to call once a quarter" list too but they finally gave up.
    But you know....I'm still waiting for a call from their President and resident coin expert to tell me what I should be buying. I'm disappointed I have yet to receive that call! image

    While that may be true, an average schmo like myself who buys close to retail and sells close to wholesale captures little of such a move. Over twenty years or more (if you happen to catch the "right" twenty year period), there may be hope for capital appreciation. In the mean time, I will continue to buy the coins I like because I like them and not worry much about the rest.

    Is Benchmark Ventures a good company to deal with?

    Worry is the interest you pay on a debt you may not owe.

    I was wondering the same thing, but then remembered I gave one of their sales peeps a business card at a show last year.
