My opinion is they are spamming cunts who hit every single domain I own with spam and in the end had to add about 10 separate rules just for them as they kept changing it to bypass filters, probably a good deal but for me even it it was £10 they could kiss my arse.

I used to use them back in the day for CDrs etc and never had any problem but that was quite a time back..

Obviously their marketing scruples lack a lot

Might just be me but I have a rule I never ever buy from any company that sends me unsolicited email, SVP really really fucked me off as I have about 30 domains they multi emailed each one and as I have a catch all on them I was getting mail to shit like bill'at'sanj.co.uk and they switched sender name, title and keywords to block similar to how the drug sales companies do it.

I think they went downhill when they were bought out from being run in Paignton and moved up into Scotland - kinda lost that local dealer feel they used to have.

SVP kept sending spam to my domain and of course as I didn't have an account with them, i couldn't 'unsubscribe'. They don't respond to email either. I still get them occasionally - so it's gone from once or twice a week to randomly. How does that even work... Fucking arseholes.

Ahh.. well my experiences have been based on them in Devon so a regime change probably was the start of aggressive marketing.
I get occasional mails but they obviously target websites..

Thanks for the feedback..

They were even a preferred dealer here at one time, down the slippery slope. . .

I'm sure this is the outfit that turned DET over last year .. Might be wrong though as I cant find the original post.

They build a list using robots on nominet or something like that, annoying as they introduced legislation in the UK to make unsolicited email a criminal offence and to my knowledge have only ever prosecuted one person, from my recollection he ran a 'dodgy' kitchen firm and T$ tried to prosecute him but the case failed so they used it on him as it was all they had left.

didnt they used to be in the swear filter list many years ago, bought off them twice and was a balls up so never bothered again

Not used svp in about 5 years since they were took over, unsubscribed from there mailing list around the same time, emails have started coming through again around 6 months ago so wouldnt touch them for that reason alone

this is my exact take on things as well, if i get spam then they dont get my business
