Basically, you are saying that TOTV users are ignorant if they do not know user “Investment Painting Contractors“ is Len, a wise, kind, & knowledgeable TV retiree, whom joined this site in 2008? And that’s because it is common or basic knowledge?

Len, how could you claim to be retired from the Investment Painting & continue to utilize the company “paid” TOTV sponsored account to post your opinions about other companies?

Why wouldn’t the Investment Painting Contractors” use it and like everyone else, you have a personal acct? Because everyone knows you but us ignorant newbies?

I don’t care one way or another’s about his user name , but the man has a point about the free advertising , his tone may have been wrong but his message was right whether anyone cares that a whole different thing ( I vote no apology)

Just my suspicious mind. Len The retired half of Investment Painting
You know if you didn’t inquire about it & you get mail or notices that you don’t know anything about or asked about, I always, always delete it & I never ever open it to see what it is. 99.9% of the time it’s spam. Listen, if you didn’t ask about it or know who they are, what are they going to do sue you for a million dollars. Just more spam like all Americans are getting more & more of it don’t get suckered into giving any information that you don’t know what it is!

I Still say the Letter is a scam and simply tried to warn people. The letter is "Deceptive Advertising". As far as Investment Painting is concerned "The Company " has been in continuous operation since 1966 except the Vietnam year. There has only been 2 Owners. After over 40 years of ownership I am rather proud of the "Name"

who can blame you? with all the scams going around seemingly aimed @ seniors, it's a knee jerk reaction. i'm so distrustful of social media these days--this is the only forum i use. it would sound suspicious to me, too, if i got an 'email' from a villager from another neighborhood wanting me to join something i'd not heard of. thanks for sharing the info & all replies regarding it

How is it FREE advertising when he is a PAID sponsor?
Be thankful there are PAID sponsors that support the forum.

I've gotten an e-mail to join next door neighbor and a regular mail (from Ocala) to join a small discussion group. I also got another regular mail (from Orlando) to join some other discussion group. All three were from a Jehovah Witness organization. I checked this out with our Villages Police. I'm not sure why anyone here is targeted by Jehovah Witness but this is what happened to me. I received all three within the past 8 months.

See post #31.

It would appear his assumption was as wrong as his tone.

Like I said who cares and yes it’s his prior company and
is a paid sponsor but doesn’t he say he has no connection to company anymore and his messages are private but still using company logo I don’t care
but the guy doesn’t owe an apology
