Hall of SPAM: Total HR

I have a personal email address here at felix.org that I've used since 1996. It's never been used, EVER, for e-commerce or business -- it's strictly for friends and acquaintances. Therefore, any UCE/UBE I receive at that address is by definition, SPAM, and any businesses contacting me via that address have gotten it by nefarious means and are therefore members of the Hall of SPAM.

Today, Dennis Bernstein at Total HR joins that crowd of bad boys with the following email. Welcome, Dennis. What makes you think that any reputable business in their right mind would use your services when you use dubious business practices like unsolicited email containing multiple grammatical errors? I'll leave it to you to find it.

Good Morning,

Total HR is a Los Angeles based service provider that understands the challenges of owning and operating a business in California. My name is Dennis Bernstein, I am the director of marketing for Total HR. 90% of our current customers have used either a PEO or Payroll Service to help manage the administration of their employees and have found that either they were paying too much or receiving too little for their HR spend.

If you are currently with a PEO and are evaluating the level of service you are receiving you may want to ask yourself these questions: Am I paying for services that I either don't need or are not receiving? Is my current HR partner fitting me into a solution that doesn't necessarily adress my needs? If you answered yes to either one of those questions Total HR has developed customized solutions that fit our client's needs and unique pricing programs that make economic sense.

Most companies that use only a Payroll Service generally underestimate the cost of the service by 20 to 30% due to additional charges and fees. HR is more than Payroll Administration and that is why we developed Integrated Payroll Solutions that offer critical HR services along with Payroll Administration at one flat rate fee.

Total HR offers flexible, customized solutions and Certified HR professionals that work on site with your team to help you grow your business.

As the New Year approaches we encourage you to take the time to respond to this email and learn why Total HR is one of the fastest growing HR companies on the West Coast. If you would like a copy of our 2010 "Labor Watch" Report please click here.

Respectfully,
Dennis Bernstein
