I got 4 mails from them in 2013, all sent via vresp.com. I'm pretty sure
I've never visited energymodels.com website and have no idea who they
are.

The mails don't say where my email was harvested from.

Cheers for that. Give 'em a hard time. Too many companies now think that
any contact gives them a licence to spam you forevermore. And of course
some don't even wait for that initial contact. That didn't used to
happen in the world of real shops. Multiply this by the hundreds of
outfits we deal with every year and the result is a massive PITA.
