As i launch my new product and website, I have been searching online for an inexpensive consumer email list. So many of the offers seem so cheap i almost provided my credit card info and placed an order. But I like to know a little about the company, so I do a little research first. What I have found is that anyone offering opt-in email addresses for under $10.00/thousand is a scam. I have researched inetgiant.com, startraffic.com, emailmarketingoptin.com, buyleadsemail.com, targetaudienceonline.com and emailmarketingus.com which was just launched on 12/09/08.
They all pay for advertising when you search bulk email, optin email, etc. And some have nice web sites and do a great job creating the illusion of being legitimate businesses. But contact information for all of them quite minimal and I usually found it to be bogus. Some of the aforemetntion sites have been reported here already and I appreciate the service.
Emailmarketingus.com has a nice website, yet there is no way to contact them whatsoever, they want you to provide your email info (more than likely to build a list they sell to others. With a little research I found a contact name of John Connor and a business address of 1630 Revello in Sunnydale, CA (no such city or town) with a zip of 90210 (Beverly Hills, CA) and a phone number of 815-245-1027, which is a cell phone in Woodstock, Il.
Hey maybe John will see this and explain it all.
