I admit I was scammed by the OPT-IN targeted emails approach. Read between my lines.

It all started when I decided to market my company using the targeted emails approach.

First of all I want you all to know that marketing with any kind of targeted emails are the biggest scam on the internet highway today. When you are promised to get traffic to your website that is targeted and it will only be from our OPT-IN targeted email customers it is going to cost you big. If you have a company that charges 1,000,000 million emails and will throw in an extra 500 targeted emails or so. That is just that. You are paying for the 500 targeted emails” or so. NOT the 1 MILLION. The 1 million are going to go any Tom Dick or Harry out there on the internet highway that happens to have an email address. They can be anyone from anywhere and any age.

They will promise you guaranteed results and you go for it and you run your Ad.

But wait! Your ad is not working.

You get a call or an email telling you something must be wrong with your website. It could in no way be from there place. They are supposedly prefect. You frantically do what you can to make sure it is not something you did on your part. You never really hear it is working and you wait. They email you with an email saying we will take care of it no worries. Or so you thought!

They say ok no problem and in a couple days you realize NO TRAFFIC. Oh my GOD! You just spent all that money for nothing. You call them and they tell you that “you are wrong!” Their computers are right and there is no way they could be wrong on their end.

Then here come the STALL TACTICS.

Things are said like,

We will need to verify this with your host because this can not be. So you give them a number to call and are pretty confused as to why they keep acting like you are the one ripping them off.

The next thing you know is that you get an email telling you they called and talked to a guy named bill and he was not allowed to give out any information. BUT! This bill did so anyways. He did it knowing it was against the rules of his company and even though it could cost him his job because he is giving out information. He agrees that there numbers were right at your email marketing place risking the loss of his job.

Now to their advantage there this person whom is only recognized by his or her first name that you would have NO WAY of tracking down to prove them wrong.  Now that they unofficially confirmed their numbers were exact and because you can not prove they did not talk to your hosting service. They decide they are not the ones with the problem anymore. You lose!

I hope you were smart enough to read between the lines.
