Had a plugged drain, so Roto-Rooter came to fix it. I found a coupon link on Google, and saved 10$. But now Roto-rooter has my email address — they’ll probably spam me with ads for their drain cleaner solution montly.
The sad thing is: The image for the online coupon is not secured. After you fill in the form to gain access to the image, if you were to tell your friends about the image URL, they could save $10 from Roto-rooter without ever having to send them an email address.
See?
It just goes to show how subtle the concept of “security” is on the internet. They’re relying on security through obscurity. But now that the truth is out, they might have to employ more rigorous security to protect their coupon.
