The following e-mail came to my box today. Normally spam is a quick delete for me but MLS Membership Services seemed official, especially since our dues statements were sent this week via e-mail. I figured I better open this to make sure I hadn't missed an additional charge of some kind from the MLS. Much to my surprise the flyer which you can view by going to the link is what displayed in my e-mail. In many areas this might not be annoying, but our MLS just recently disallowed members from using the term MLS in relation to searching listings on any of our marketing or in our domains. There is a company in town called the TheMLSOnline.com. They were allowed to be "grandfathered" in and can continue use of the domain name. However, this ad appears to be a lead generator. For as little as $25/mo. I can get leads from one of the only companies in our area that doesn't have to follow the MLS rules! Talk about ironic.
