Another marketer has surfaced claiming to have been ripped off by an e-mail appending company and there's evidence the firm is related to US scam appending company, which is in a dispute with another U. K firm and possibly related to or operated by the same India-based spamming operation.
Two recent articles published here one detailing a dispute where Javelin Marketing claimed it lost $14,000 on a garbage list from U K appending company, and another showing that Qire U. K operations may be nothing more than a rented UPS box prompted Scott MacAdam, proprietor of MacAdam Magazine Marketing, to e-mail this newsletter to tell of a similar deal gone bad with a firm calling itself Direct media.
Could it be the same or a related company to the firm that operates Qire? He asked.
Indeed, it could.
According to MacAdam, he signed a deal on behalf of a client under which Qire was to append e-mail addresses to the client's postal file.
He added he paid upfront.
The agreement was that for any undeliverables exceeding 20%, we would get a refund, said MacAdam. About half of the addresses were bad. So I asked for a refund, and that started a process that was unbelievable.
By MacAdam's calculations, Direct media owes him a refund just over $3,000. He added his representative at Qire, Kevin Daniel, was unresponsive and stopped answering his e-mails completely after he threatened to take the matter to his client's attorneys.
