Not exempt, but rather taking advantage to a previously established relationship. That seems to be the workaround for a lot of spam of that sort, the problem is that it's difficult to ever break those ties.
(It's the reason all those "Win A 3-Day Vacation" contest boxes are at the register of the Chinese resaurant/ BBQ joint / etc. Once you do that, the relationship is established and they can assign it (i.e. sell you on) however they see fit )
