Dear TOTV Team:

I have been on TOTV for way too long and have never received an unsolicited email. I have not shared my email address here except for when I registered.

Just now, I received an email from Lifestyle Venture Tours. It is an ad for trips. It says, "You have received this email because you have subscribed *for a newsletter. (*odd use of that preposition, I thought) It goes on to say, "You can always unsubscribe" yadda, yadda, which of course, I will do.

But my question is how did they get my email in the first place? I hope TOTV is not selling our email addresses. Surely not. I hope. That would create a real deluge of unwanted emails.

I have enough aggravation unsubscribing from getting an email every 15 minutes from businesses I order from online, but, at least, I initiated those contacts.

TOTV Team, do you know anything about how this could have happened? At the bottom of the page, it says "Village Update From Lifestyle Venture Tours." The advertising is definitely aimed at Villagers. But it is not from TV. This did not come through the email address I use for other TV connections.

It's a mystery.
