Scummy data brokers. Contact you having harvested your personal details (incorrectly in my case!) and then require you to opt out. This absolutely needs to be opt-in only. Parasite business.

Suggest you avoid company which is probably in breach of GDPR, as peddling incorrect information. Not sure if links work, or are scam, but if any problems suggest reporting to ICO

Found them in my spam folder
Found them in my spam folder. I was foolish enough to send them an email about how poor the quality of the information was. They are welcome to sell my information for marketing purposes, I retired 9 years ago. They are welcome to spam me. Thunderbird has 2 good spam filters. Michael J. Mouse has been mentioned.

Scam company stealing your private information with very dodgy business dealings. I will have to report them for GDPR breach finding the proper authorities to do this.

NOOOOB
The worst scam ever, they haven't took a minute to create a decent scam page, just a button "Unsubscribe".
I'm really disappointed, I was trying to get scammed but I only get unsubscribed. >:(
I'm going to let some chinese buddy steal my personal datas in a funnier way.
NOOBS

Just another "Data broker" using outdated information scraped from Linkedin and the like - same as Zoominfo etc.
I know the information is stale as they sent a notice to a mailbox that hasn't been active for about two years (invalid email addresses end up in my company's catch-all mailbox, handy to forward legit email with a typo and also see what new scams are about).
Anyone wishing to employ the services of Rhetorik had better be aware that not only is using such data illegal in several jurisdictions (GPDR, Australian anti-spam laws, etc), most of the data is obsolete and highly likely to get you blacklisted.
Just received the same email
So pleased I could see other people's reviews of this scam site and know to block them. Thank you all for reporting!

Didn't want the service but getting hit with spam way too much. Bad marketing guys, be better.

I also received an email from them today. Luckly I didn't click on anything. It was sent to my business email address, which I never use online. No idea how they found me. I just reported them to Outlook and blocked immediately.
"Attackers might be trying to steal…
"Attackers might be trying to steal your information from [website address] (for example, passwords, messages, or credit cards)." this is the warning message I get from the links in their spam emails. they say it is impossible to tell us where they get our information from. I have reported them to the ICO and I encourage others to do the same.
Scammers
What a bunch of scammers. there is nothing legitimate in scraping people's data from the web and selling it on without their knowledge or consent and then trying to use weasel words to put up a false front of GDPR compliance.
Scammers exploiting GDPR
I've received yet another spam email from these dodgy scumbags. I suspect if you point out that they're going against GDPR they will say something like "oh! But we are merely collecting business card information, not adding you 'directly' to any mailing lists! And hey, do you have enough money and time to take legal action anyway?".
I get inundated by idiots like this. I suppose they make tons of money just like any good scammer (LinkedIn indicates they have several employees). There is nothing good about their business or their just-possibly-maybe-just-about-on-the-edge-of-legal behaviour.
Scammers sending emails to business…
Scammers sending emails to business addresses trying to get you to confirm it’s real so they can sell it on to their customers. They need to get a proper job and leave us alone.
Same scam still going
Same scam still going - sending out mass emails asking that you request removal of your email from their database, when really they just want you to confirm that it is a valid email address.

Spamming Company
Spamming Company - Another Company that thinks sending unsolicited spam emails is good business practice. Its not and is against GDPR. I always say most spamming companies are scamming companies. Never do business with a spammer

Spammers attempting to harvest active email addresses.
Received their spam email to my work email, an account that has never emailed externally and is not published anywhere online. I would suspect they've looked at LinkedIn and guessed my email address, given the company I work for.
I received this notification in my…
I received this notification in my email and it used my first name. Sending to spam folder. These people have no etiquette and are presumptuous. Honestly they should be charged for harassment and criminal invasions of privacy.
same spam as others received
I got the same spam as others below, received today. Don't click any of the links, just move to junk, block, or delete. Scam. I have never been in contact with this outfit. I have classed the address as spam, to keep it out of my mailbox.I dislike the opening line - "This notice is to inform you of the collection, processing, licensing, and sale of certain information that may contain personal data about you"
Scammers
Further to what others have written I got an obvious phishing email from this company. They are clearly trying to find active email address which they then sell on. A total scam. Avoid them by simply deleting anything and blocking if you can.
