We are a tech blog; hence we don’t speak much about other (humongous) social problems that we face in daily lives. For instance we never said that this KESC, IESCO or any other electricity company are worst possible businesses that exist on planet earth.
They won’t provide you electricity for hours, for unlimited hours in fact, and now look at this KESC guy who is spamming every email in this country.
Allah better knows, from where he has gotten the email ids – but ever since he has them, he isn’t sparing anyone. Even worse, there’s no unsubscribe link; meaning that I will have to bear this crap from KESC whenever the guy responsible will feel like sending the spam emails. BTW, I live in Islamabad – and I got nothing to do with KESC at all.
Apparently, they are trying to spread the information to those who use their services. But, will someone please ask the power houses the meaning of “Service”? They are exploiting the nation, that’s what I would say.
Either President Zardari, Nawaz Shareef or IMF, non-taxpayers or whoever is the responsible for this state of country, they all should be thrown away from this land.
Our government, they don’t know a thing about management. I doubt if they can even manage their colonies, whom we have given away our country to manage – and this is valid from top to bottom.
# End of rant
Thankyou for this post. I get these spams too and i thought i had subscirbed for them !

Only useful reply so far. I do that with local companies that won’t listen to reason.
So much spam from Liberty Books, Paramount, Brain services.
i am also getting these emails and my location is fujranwala, punjab lolzzz.
Ever heard of a spam button?
I was also shocked when i recieved the email from KESC. And Today i got another one. I am living in Bahawalpur Punjab. But still they are sending spams on my Gmail account.
They also send me same email, I live in Lahore. I never signup on KESC.
KESC please keep on sending us these emails on our email id’s
Apply filter on your gmail account, to delete all incoming emails from kesc.com.pk
i also received same email and some other emails from KESC on my gmail accounts…. i never subscribed for it, and why would i when i am living in IESCO region…. i am gonna report it.
Nice work highlighting this issue.
I also got this email from KESC. I dont know from where they get our email addresses.
“Either President Zardari, Nawaz Shareef or IMF, non-taxpayers or whoever is the responsible for this state of country, they all should be thrown away from this land.”
Lol, Aamir Atta Brother got JaZbaaTi :-d
You are wrong Mr. Aamir Atta! I also got this mail but only to my one account. I subscribed their Newsletter in the past. I have 2 other email accounts but I never received any email from KESC. I think you also subscribed their Newsletter in the past. I dont know about others but this is my case.
i am also receiving mail from KESC after 4-8 days
i received exactly the same mail
I also get these emails, but don’t have any clue how to unsubscribe rather than Report as Spam…
I also got email from them and I am not sure how they got my email.
By the way, nice message by KESC, many companies will leave Pakistan due to stupid actions of Pakistanis.
I hate those emails.. I’m thinking about emailing them the following someday:
Prevention of Electronic Crimes Ordinance, 2008
Section 14 states:
