They probably bought a list from someone that compiled the appropriate demographic targets one way or another. If you shopped at Lowes, HD, et al and they have your email they may have sold that basic info - your email that shopped at a home center - to an aggregator, then on. If you are into DIY, you might like my hinges kinda thing. There are also programs that do "scraping", running through web sites and forums hunting email type address. Hence the "bob ACK dontsendmenodamnspam DIRT com" type postings trying to throw off the scrapers.
Unsolicited email here gets deleted. Period, I don't even open it. Only email from companies I've actually done business with. Even then, proceed with caution. Received and email at work this morning about "a broken link on your web site". I'm not the site admin but my name is connected to the school domain. Addressed by name , the link in the email was a valid link to one of our sites but a "mouse over" of the link revealed the hidden re-direct. Sorry, no deal.

I've done business with Lester and I like his product. I did not receive any emails from him.
As far as Home Depot, Lowe's, Menard's, etc selling their email lists...they are very protective of their customers and do not want to share with anyone. Why potentially send one of your customer's to a competitor? They do not sell their email lists.

They got your email address from our alliance list. Obviously, this is a huge no-no and we will talk to them about not doing this again.
Sorry guys.

I had 2 emails from them also, but since I had bought from them, assumed that was the reason.

I hope everyone goes easy on Lester! Sounds like a lot of people have had great experiences with him.
A lot of times people don't understand email/marketing etiquette and make mistakes that an experienced Internet marketer never would.

My Green Hinges are one of the better investments I have made in the shop. Lester was very helpful. I'm sure this was simply a misunderstanding.
