BT Internet, the ISP for databureau.co.uk, responded to reports of unsolicited mail as follows:
We have been in contact with our user and expressed your concerns to them. Our user has asked us to apologise to you on their behalf and to advise you that if you no longer wish to receive e-mails from them that you please click on the unsubscribe link they have provided within the e-mail. They have also advised us that the mailshot list which they are presently using is a valid one.
To judge by the addresses to which mail from the Data Bureau was sent, their 'valid' list includes addresses 'scraped' from WHOIS contact data, raising some questions about what exactly they understand by the word 'valid'.
We've also had reports that the Data Bureau only allows unwilling recipients to opt out of receiving messages from an individual advertiser, so that even after opting out of a mailing list they never opted into, they can continue to receive Data Bureau spam promoting other clients.
