Re: Virgin Media Phorm Webwise Adverts [Updated: See Post No. 1, 77, 102 & 797]

Sorry didnt mean to sound hostile but could you answer these 2 questions i put before you deflected them and others about B-M not phorm?

1. do you catergorically deny that you have such a strategic plan or partnership with Burson Marsteller related to phorm atm and have never been in touch with them or the pr people working for phorm?.

2. What exactly is the bonus in having a strategic partnership with this company apart from having the odd coffee morning a user already posted this as part of B-M known tactics

Sound familiar?

dont get me wrong but how does it look when you and your strategic partners *cough* are both working for the same company at the same time for the same issue coincidence?

It is of a critical importance to many people in this country for the simple reason you wouldnt mind if it was the government or police to keep the people and the national security safe (Even if they lose your details ;S)
But for an intrusion into personal information by a COMPANY especailly a dubious ex-spyware company who will sell details to the highest bidder we have every right to be gravely concerned hence some peoples responses as you see here.
