Just got a marketing email from my Estate Agent telling me I can get a free appraisal..
They're literally selling my home, right now, what more do they want?

-=-=-

I swear, some of these people could do with setting up some kind of database for his stuff, with a giant tick mark next to "We probably shouldn't email these people, as we've already sold their home."

What's the point of all these giant databases if they don't at the very least do that.
Same goes for "You're logged in, but I still ask you about cookie preferences", and "Hey, I know you already told me 73 times that you don't want the newsletter, but ... Do you want the newsletter?!"



Meanwhile...



Got another email, this morning, from Travis Scott, telling me my order had been shipped.

My order will arrive at my new home, a "Trail Apartment" in Palatine, Illinois.
Gosh, I didn't think I was moving that far..

I've changed my Google password, and double checked everything, but I don't think it's "too" much to worry about.
Upon double/triple checking, it appears that the Travis Scott website is woefully inadequate, security wise, and that you can just plonk in any old email address when making a purchase.
Everything else from the order seems to be on the up-and-up, so I think maybe just some jackass plonked a random email address in there, and it happened to be mine.

I'll sure as hell be keeping an eye on things, though, and you can be sure I let them know about it, too.
... Just a shame I can't change the shipping address for my order, huh..?

*sigh*

Bulk up your security, guys.
