Hello,
Bulk Mail List Inc. (i bet this isnt a real name), sell via their website (bulk-mail-list.com) tools for targeted email campaigns. I have tried to purchase a powerful server that allows sending bulk email and holds buletproof hosting. They asked for payment via Western Union (until this, everything ok, most of those services are paid via Western Union). The price is high, about 2000USD/month. I was lucky to be inspired, to ask a demo period of 1 week, for $500. They answered yes to all my questions about the server, everything looked perfetct, so I send $500 to
First name: Zhaohua
Last name: Zhang
City: Hangzhou
Country: China
Before sending the money, they answered all the questions really fast. They picked up the money the next day. After that, they sent me an email in 2 weeks with the access to the server. I asked for a linux, they gaved me a Windows box, which I couldn't access. I emailed them, and still no answer.
In about 5 days after that, they did answer telling me that the period was over and i needed to pay more (!?), for a service I didn't even used. I asked for my money back (why pay for nothing? I can get nothing for free..) Good thing that I only sent $500. It's less painful then loosing 2000.
So be carefull webmasters that are using such services, find another site even if their services look perfect. Its not really about the money but i really needed their services back then. They are all either a bunch of crooks, or they have the worse customer service ever seen since the Internet was started. It's not possible to pay something now for 2 weeks, get an answer in 2 weeks, the service purchased not to work, and then to be interrupted, because the 2 weeks passed, and all this without even see the service.
