SPAM: Tutor Doctor

Unsolicited commercial SPAM without any unsubscribe option which would be in breach of the SPAM Act.

Unclear where they have obtained the email list from.

FROM: Greg Sweeney greg@tutordoctorinc.com
SUBJECT: Reaching out

Hi <Name>,

My name is Greg Sweeney, and I am the Australian Franchise Development Director for Tutor Doctor, a 690+ unit global in-home and online tutoring franchise.

Tutor Doctor is a one-to-one in-home and online tutoring franchise created to focus on the learning style of the individual.  Since 2003, we have successfully delivered millions of tutoring hours to students in 15 countries of all ages, levels, and subjects – and due to increasing demand – have identified Australia as our next franchise expansion target.

We have continued to grow and revolutionise at unprecedented rates because:

The platform is designed to be administered both in-person or online – making it both safe and easy for all parties

Demand is HUGE – Tutor Doctor is the most successful and fastest growing-education franchise on the market 

Ownership allows for a work-from-home lifestyle that doesn’t require recurring inventory, permanent staff, or office space

Right now, we are excited to announce we are expanding our franchise in Australia due to unmet demand.  We are actively reaching out to business leaders, like yourself, to be our next franchise owners.

Please let me know if you are interested in speaking or learning more.

Thanks,

Greg Sweeney

SCAM SPAM

SPAM: Creative Designers Inc

Another common type of SPAM we are seeing is logo design.

Researching this, most of these SPAM logo design offers that come through show unhappy customers who feel they have been scammed out of money.
Use caution and probably best not to to reply to unsolicited offers in SPAM.

Misleading SPAM

SPAM: Pulse.qa

Unsolicited email from Holly at Pulse.qa who claim to be “the largest IT community across the globe”

We’ve never heard of Pulse.qa and looking at the website they seem to be a marketing insights company rather than an IT Community.

FROM: Holly holly@pulse.qa; (Holly via bounce.automizy.com)
SUBJECT: Your IT Community needs YOU!

Hi <name>,

Hope you’re doing good.

SPAM: SocialStanceMedia.com Instagram Colab

Unsolicited SPAM from Social Stance Media offering to let us “group buy” into a social media influencer’s followers.

It still seems odd to be buying followers. I also wonder if the followers would know their information was being passed onto other companies (as promoted) and if would actually meet SPAM or privacy compliance.

FROM: trentfarnes@socialstancemedia.com
SUBJECT: Malika (5.7M+ Followers) + <Instagram handle> Instagram Collab

Hi <instagram handle>,

We have an exciting Instagram promotion launching on May 26th with Malika (@malika) that we thought you may be interested in joining based on your interest in growing your brand.

Malika will be asking her 5.7M+ followers on Instagram to follow a group of brands in order to qualify. These brands will be participating in a “group buy” that will allow them to gain exposure and qualified, targeted followers from her audience at a fraction of the cost.

On top of new followers gained, we have a bonus where people enter their name and email address – and you’ll get all of the emails submitted to use for your marketing purposes.

Here are results from previous campaigns.

If you’re interested in learning more, let me know and we can set up a time to chat. These spots will go fast!

Thanks,
