(The comment is about spamming. I'm not certain I ever placed an order with Markertek. I don't know how they obtained my email address.)
Markertek misuses private information for spamming. Markertek apparently uses all email addresses they collect, by any method, to begin sending out unsolicited bulk email advertisements. Administrators fail to acknowledge there's a problem with sending out bulk emails to their full mailing list in this way.
For example,
Subject line, "Markertek VPTR Production Trailers - The 2010 Models Are Here!" (1/14/2010)
Subject line, "Featured Product Update - New This Week From Markertek!" (2/2/2010)
Prior to these emails, I dont think I ever would have done business with Markertek, or it would have been literally years ago. I don't know where they got my email address. I certainly didn't subscribe to any kind of mailing list.
Edit,
Their response proves my point. They can only speculate about how they might have obtained my email address, and under what circumstances, yet they began sending bulk email advertisements to that address anyway. That's precisely what makes it spam.
Markertek doesn't need to take my word for it. I'm confident the admin of their hosting company will enforce their own anti-spam policies to whatever extent becomes necessary, should Markertek continue to send bulk email advertisements to recipients who did not give specific permission for their email addresses to be used in that way.
I would suggest that Markertek remove all unconfirmed email addresses from their mailing list now, before their bulk emails produce further complaints.
