I just received a fax for anyone requesting a trade ref from CR Laurence located on heir website. Is this ethical?

To clarify: did the request for a trade reference come from the company themselves? CR Laurence requesting a trade reference from you on CR Laurence..

No - I received a generic Fax today stating that all Trade Ref Req are now electronic.

Years ago, when I was in forest products, Weyerhaeuser (I think) had a website that you could go to to *request* credit references, and get three per day printed out. I don't know if that is still something they do.
It sounds like CR Laurence may be notifying anyone who may *request* a credit reference that they now need to do it via their website. I would be very surprised if they were trolling for credit information on themselves.

Electronic trade reference requests are becoming more common. NACM Tampa has a service built around fulfilling trade reference requests for members who submit their full A/R.
It makes it easier on the company going electronic - but more difficult on those needing references initially because you have to learn and remember their system.
