I have recently been recieving unsolicited email advertisements from a company named "Roberts". They apparently sell photographic equipment.
Here's a link to their online store, http://www.robertsimag​ing.com/shop.jsp (external link)
I'm just wondering if anybody else here has suddenly started getting ads from them?

I don't think so Bruce

I delete anything I don't recognize in the heading (and never open) so I wouldn't really know

I scan everything with Nortons, and this one's email came up clean, but I'm just wondering how they got my email addy in the first place. :rolleyes:
Oh well. Thanks Marie.

But I believe I've seen their ads in Outdoor Photography and other magazines.

Thanks Pradeep, If they have ads in Outdoor Photography then I guess they are at least for real.
I just have to figure someone gave them my email addy. :rolleyes:

They advertise all over "SportShooter.com"
That's the only place I've seen them.

I've ordered from them. They carry Newswear vests which I use. They seem to be a small outfit. They are very responsive to customer service requests. I would buy from them again.

We have two of their actual stores here in Indianpolis. They are a great store and I often go there to buy from them. Someone could have entered your email address in because they aren't ones to just randomly email. You have to request their information. They are reputable and a good company.

I used to see their ads in ShutterBug years ago. I bought a few things from them.

I'd put a fair amount of faith in them for their longterm advertising in SB. Shutterbug drops advertisers if the advertiser even begins to get a bad reputation.

Thanks Bloo, I used to subscribe to Shutterbug until it seemed they had more than 50% Ad content. The Ads were pretty good though. ;)

Even though this thread is aged...to answer your question: No!

I have been to Roberts several times....they are rude and in no way oriented toward customers. Their prices are high, full-retail, and they are uncompromising.

They also seem to lean heavily toward nokiN.
