Please hold on! I realized some of you might be missing my point.

I think some of you might have the idea that I think this is some kind of scam.

No, not at all.

Long, tedious, explanation in an attempt to clarify follows:

I did not for a minute think it was a scam. It says it is from Lifestyle Venture Tours. It even has a local address and a phone number. This "newsletter" was created on one of those DIY websites called smore.

It is obviously someone trying to advertise their local business.

This came through on an email address that I use only for ordering from big, known companies and for TOTV.

I am not on Facebook. I do not sign up for prizes. My official TV email where I get stuff about TV entertainment, and once in a while something from a sales agent, is a different email -- not the one I use for TOTV.

I do not begrudge someone the opportunity to try to do business. Once aqain, I do not think this is a scam. These advertised trips could be quite nice -- for all I know. But I don't like the approach of showing up with an email trying to convince me I subscribed to a newsletter and that is how I got this. Or did it mean that I "subscribed" to TOTV? Or is this company a new part of TOTV?

I don't mean to be acting like a dog with a bone, but darn it, my question is simple:

All I want is an answer as to whether TOTV knows about this and, if so, what happened?

The mystery continues.

I remain,
