Re: [AlpacaTalk] Hartman Alpaca Sale in Nebraska
Hi group,
I just received an advertisement from Hartman's for an Alpaca Sale on
October 31 & November lst. They said I was receiving this email because my
email address was subscribed to an AOBA member email list. How can this be
possible? This advertisement looks like it is coming from an AOBA
affiliate. No wonder so many farms fall for their pitch. I wonder how they
got my email address.
