You beat me to posting a thread Alan as I received the following too
Interest-free business funding for landscapers - ENDING SOON!
Hi,
My name is Lewis Hatcher and I work with a company called Capital on Tap. We partner with the landscape juice network and I came across your business. We support lots of landscape businesses by providing them with our financial facility which is more flexible and cost-effective than a business overdraft you can get with a bank.
Initially, any business can get between £1,000 - £10,000 unsecured, but after repeat use each account can grow up to £20,000 with rates of interest going as low as 1-2%. If so, if you had a facility like this in place, even as a safety net in the slower season, how could this benefit your business?
Please check out our reviews on Trust Pilot here.
Kind regards,
Lewis Hatcher

how has he got access to our email addresses ?
Hi Alan
I'm sorry if these emails have offended you (or anyone else for that matter).
I identified Capital on Tap as a serious alternative to bank lending and thought it would be of interest to those LJN members who were expanding their business and needed access to overdraft funds and reasonable rates and on terms that were better than any high street bank could offer.
Obviously this service is not going to be of interest to everyone and if this is the case then it's best to ignore these emails of reply. simply saying that you are not interested and you will not be contacted again.
so you have given him access to our email addresses ?
Capital on Tap are a partner of Landscape Juice. From time to time we work with different partners to identify potential business tools and services that may be of interest to LJN members.
It is clearly stated in LJN's t&c's that, from time to time, we may work with partners to provide certain business services.

This is the problem with having a web site and any affiliation to a third party body. If I get 5 a week, that is a good week. On a bad week, I get upto 25. That is why I have deleted my work email from my phone and just check when I get home. Less distractions that way.
I did ask him to delete my details previously but have received a further email from Lewis this afternoon offering loans which is not acceptable.
Pleased to see I am not the only one who is unhappy with the situation.
I will talk to Lewis in the morning.

TO be fair - you only have to check your profile or google the above to find your emails so its not that much of an issue - and it is in the T & C's that they may be shared - if you dont want that to be the case dont put your contact detaisl on your profile - I didnt include mine for my first year on this site for that reason (I found the public profile got me lots of spam for some reason).
If you eamiled Lewis and said delete and he still sends emails, thats out of order but not LJN's fault nessasarily, its also Sunday - No one in office to respond and act.
Reply with a link to the ICO Office, as he is now breaking the law. If it persists, advise the ICO and let them deal with it. Alternatively, a legal president has been set for successfully suing someone, for time and costs, so long as you advise you will take the action and what you will reasonably charge, if they fail to adhere to the law.
Should you receive any future emails, issue a claim in the County Court. This is something that only needs to be done once!
Finally, though probably the first course of action, ask LJN to contact the company and get them to advise them of their legal obligation and to cease all future communication if a request has been made to do so.
He apologised to anyone who has been put out through the sending out of their business offer.
