body: I want to poach customers from my competitor. Is it legal to email my competitor's customers, advertising my service as an alternative?
  
  
  Details
  
  
  * I can obtain a list of my competitor's customers, through a 3rd party product review site. This site allows those customers to review the competitor.
  * For each of those customers, I can obtain their publicly listed contact email address from their business website.
  * I would then email each of them, with a promotion email. Prompting them to consider me as an alternative.
  
  
  Is this legal? Also, is it legal to refer to my competitor in the email in any way?
