Spam vs. Scam
Definitively controversial. Do we, as e-mail users have the right to privacy and not to get unwanted SPAM in our mailboxes? Absolutely. We all agree. Unfortunately, the recent over-regulation of the e-mail activity has allowed a new class of calamity: The e-mail SCAM.
SPAM vs SCAM
There are many marketing companies around selling opt in lists to target clients. The bad part of this is that as A VICTIM OF THIS COMPANIES you never get to see the list. How would you know if the list is the right one? There is absolutely no way.
This is exactly what happened to me: I requested the service recently from Expedite Media Group. A so called "e-mail marketing companies" who literally ripped my money off. They sold me a very "specific" list of executives of franchises. Presidents and CEOs they said. They sent the campaign twice with ABSOLUTELY NO results. Yes, I was told they were "not responsible for any results" which is understandable, what is not understandable, (and this is why this practice is a scam), is that THEY SHOULD BE 100% responsible of providing you with the list you paid for. How do I know it was not the correct list? Because we often send mails to 20-40 member list, and in the worst scenario we get a 10% respond, that is 2 to 4 responses. IT IS ABSOLUTELY IMPOSSIBLE TO GET A 0% CTR OF A 2600 MEMBERS IF THE LIST WAS CORRECT.
My recommendation:
Do not hire EXPEDITE MEDIA GROUP.
WHAT IS HAPPENING NOW? Absolutely nothing. They hid like an ostrich. They do not answer my phone calls or e. Mails. Again, dont hire these services or you will loose your money in a snap.
