Italian Spam from Sony - have you had it?

[lemonstar]

I registered with Sony.co.uk recently after buying a 32W4000 and subsequently received some marketing mail from them (not sure I really need it TBH) but today I've received the same email in both English and Italian - I'm guessing this is a screw up on Sony's part (certainly not mine and unlikely to be intentional) - I'm annoyed that my personal contact details are being bandied about like this. Anyone else received it and feel the same way? I've filled in a contact form to complain. Is this par for the course from Sony in anyones experience?

Just checked. It has appeared in the last half hour. I had a similar communication, in English, earlier this week from Sony Europe. I suspect it is a cock-up on Sony's part. They need to be more careful. I'm OK with information from them, but not in every language !

I wouldn't regard this as SPAM as I am on their email list by request. If you buy a Sony product and register on line there is an option to opt out of further communications if you want to. I don't see that your details have been 'bandied about', both these Emails come from the same source.

Yes I had the email and yes I also had the other email after it. The apology

Just an easy error to make

I got the Italian one first, the English one later and didn't get any apology. Probably was just a slip on someones part but I already have a problem with one important email address I have (I don't want to ditch it and change it for something else) where I not only receive English/American spam but I also receive a load spam in German, how that happend I have no idea - it's difficult to filter out. I just didn't want a whole bunch of Italian spam too.
