Hector, I am on your side here. I think that no-one should be allowed to push around or bully the little guy that you obviously are.
PEOPLE STOP picking on poor little Hector and his sandpit mate Brian.

They obviously have a legitimate business and are trying to earn a dollar. Sure it isn’t an honest dollar, but can you really blame them, after all it is a hard world out there.

I received one of these faxes as well. BTW Brian you must have inadvertantly forgot to include your ABN , phone number, company name as well as mistakenly adding the “Office or Public Affairs” . I know this would have been nothing but an oversight , most likely by Fluffy your big busted dimwitted assistant.

Brian, I would like you to know that as soon as I post this will be filling out that fax and sending it back to you.

I may not include the correct information. I most likely will put information on it that , well quite frankly will be misleading. Afterall , you did start it.

Look forward to hearing from you soon Brian, oops sorry , Hector.

Actually Hector, forget my last post. From reading more of your past posts you seem like a time-wasting troll. Go outside and check out some nice clouds…maybe a rainbow….perhaps try to smile. Good luck, mate.

Hi Hector, I was referring to your ‘tude on this blog site so I’m sorry if I actually don’t know your product. Not very good marketing at all, me thinks.
My point was that your attitude on this blog site and YOUR personal attacks against the host without defending and/or defining your business (if you have – then done very poorly) would naturally make me not want to do any sort of business with you (whatever that would be). Didn’t mean to attack you personally – just the persona you (representing your business) decide to emanate on this site. Don’t forget that the internet is a place where we potential consumers can step in and out of whenever we get the inkling. Again, cheers!

Well Hello Tania -

Why don’t we debate the actual issue at hand here rather than making personal digs. What are your issues with their product? Please list them one by one, and we will see how they are actuclly NOT a scam but just agressive marketers as any other good business.
Looking forward to your thoughts.
Hector

Hi Hector, Thanks for the heads up about what type of people I would be networking with if I did take up the offer. Your above posts sound threatening and sort of ‘stalkery” – two traits I would prefer not to deal with in business.
I think people like you do the company more damage than someone’s own little hobby-blog. Therefore, you are the one who should be sued accordingly.
Cheers and thanks again for the heads up!

Another heads up. They said if you accessed, read or posted any of your rubbish from work, that your employer will be sued as well.

Struck a nerve, Huh Steve?? And thanks for the info about Coates Hire so we can continue to search for your real employer, unless of course you’d like to tell me.

My problem with you Steve is that I use this service. Paid for it, it works for me, and your forum for negative opinions is taking credit away from what I’ve invested in. You only present half the story Steve. The half of the people who dont respond. That is because people love to talk about things that they think are wrong or think are a scam. And by the way, I don’t know whom bloody Brian Green is. Hahahaha. Although I like his opinions.

You probably a nice guy Steve, but have know Idea whats going on with the Forum your hosting. I’ve contacted the organisation and they are planning a huge lawsuit agianst you and everyone affiliated with you and your blog. Just a heads up Mate.

Hector, I have absolutely no idea what you’re talking about. For the record

This blog is my hobby. If you look back through it you’ll see I post sporadically about lots of things that interest me, like the weather and culture in my home town, my family, owner building and music festivals

I make absolutely zero effort to promote or drive traffic to this blog

I have of late been writing about some of the more interesting unsolicited marketing materials I receive for two main reasons – firstly because I’m fascinated by how cheeky and blatant some of it is and secondly because of the sheer amount of it I receive, via email, fax, phone and post

I’m hardly the only person to draw attention to any of the scams I’ve written about. Most of them have been written about widely on the internet, by personal bloggers like myself and – as I’ve pointed out before – by government agencies like the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission

Apart from sharing a surname I have absolutely nothing to do with Coates Hire

After Some Research Steve, It seems You take advantage of “Other” organisations marketing Dollars to promote your Blog. Genius I must Say :) You seem to find advertisments that invoke a google search, and with the Blogs High SEO use that to drive traffic to your site. TALK ABOUT A SCAM!!!! …But very clever Mate. I am going to start a blog and pick apart your company too. A little negative press for you would be quite fun! Lets See how http://www.coateshire.com.au fairs some VERY NEGATIVE PRESS. Good Day Mate
