Toyota Claims Woman "Opted In" To Faux Email Stalking

Posted by timothy on Thursday October 15, 2009 @08:37AM from the give-marketing-new-prescriptions dept.

An anonymous reader writes "ABC News is reporting that a California woman is suing Toyota for $10 million for sending her email that appeared to be from a criminal stalker. The woman claims the emails terrified her to the point that she suffered sleeplessness, poor work performance, etc. Toyota says the ruse was part of a marketing campaign for the Toyota Matrix. A Toyota spokesman says they are not liable for the woman's distress, because 'The person who made this claim specifically opted in, granting her permission to receive campaign emails and other communications from Toyota.'"

I suspect (but do not know) that once we see the actual emails there's no way on earth anyone with an IQ above retarded would believe it was real.
Do you really believe that counts? There is no common sense in the US courts. Just see the "Warning! Hot coffee is hot!" sign in McDonalds.
