Don Provided bogus lists, asked for refund, they threatened to email everyone in their DB to not do business with me

Internet & Web

I searched around on the internet for someone to provide a quality emailing list so that I could put my products in front of dentists. Listsyoucanafford.com, affordablemarketingtools, whatever they are really called, had a good price, and a so called 90% deliverable rate on their email marketing materials. A few red flags came up, so I should have known better. Don was unresponsive and unhelpful in answering my questions. But the price looked so good! So I put my credit card in the system, and bam, a few hours later my "marketing lists" came over. The problem was that these lists were NOT what was promised. My "Dentists List" had some dentists in it, however, most of the contacts were not dentists at all. They were non-professional contacts, admin contacts for companies that were very loosely associated with dentistry... Most importantly, the majority were NOT dentists. I looked at the other two lists I had purchased from this internet scamming company, and they were all chock full of filler as well. The insurance contacts were not agents, or for the main not even really connected to the insurance business. AOL addresses, hotmail addresses... NOT BUSINESS CONTACTS.
So I did what any sane person would do. I sent them an email saying that the lists weren't acceptable, and that I was going to charge the purchase back on my credit card. I'd have left it at that, just another unhappy customer. Then I get this email in reply, not even a loosely veiled threat to libel my company for being dissatisfied with their bogus product. They literally threaten to defame my name and my company by "blasting" everyone in their database. If anyone out there receives an email from this company defaming my mailing list company, I strongly urge you to contact ripoff report so that I can be notified, there would be reward in it for sure, as it would be a slam dunk libel case.

Stay away from this company, they are scammers of the worst kind, and they will threaten to wreck your company's good name.
Here is the email they sent me in reply, copied and pasted:
