How Does This Happen?
My son-in-law called me this morning asking if I had any idea why a well-known firearms auction company would send him an email indicating they had several Parkers he would probably be interested in bidding on.
I told him they probably got his email address as one of the email addresses in my addresses file but that was bordering on hacking into my AOL email file. I told him it probably would never happen again... probably just an oddball reach-out.
He called me a half-hour later to tell me the same auction house telephoned him and insisted they had information that said he had an interest in buying Parker shotguns at auction.
At this point he got very rude with the auction house representative and hung up.
My son-in-law has absolutely no interest in firearms. He's not an "anti" - he just has other interests that don't include guns at all.
I think this is an outrage and I wonder how this auction house can be made to stop this tactic!!??
