When You're Opting In To Emails From Mike Frerichs, You're Not...Really

We were sent this tip from someone close to the Mike Frerichs for Illinois Treasurer campaign.

It looks like the Frerichs campaign has some CAN-SPAM compliance issues with their email blasts and they need to do something about it before consumers file complaints against the campaign.  Or...it might be too late as someone may already have.

It turns out, that when you agree to hand over your email address to the Frerichs campaign for their email newsletter, you're not actually agreeing to give it to them.  Nope.

You're actually agreeing to give it to a woman named Nancy Kohn.  Check out what is listed on the Frerichs email sign-up:

Whoops.

The worst part?  Our tipster that is close to the Frerichs campaign tells us that Nancy Kohn dumped the Frerichs campaign and isn't even working with/for them any longer.

That just compounds things.  Not only are they fooling voters into who they're agreeing to get emails from,  they've listed a consultant that isn't involved in their campaign.

Things just keep getting weirder and weirder in Frerichsland.
