No, that was *not* Vonage spam
Current thread on the Vonage VoIP Forum started with a poster who complained that he received an email offer with the subject line: "MAKE THE SWITCH NOW!!" (sorry, all-CAPS are his, not mine).
The body of the message went on to say: "Connect your home phone to your Hi-speed Internet To Get More and Pay Less."
The bottom of the messagecontained the text "Vonage.com," and included the company’s snail-mail address.
As several respondents pointed out though,the messagecontained an identifier for Mesa Media. Company has no Web site I could find but as far as I can tell, they are the spammer- not Vonage.
