That's marketing my friend and it's been like that for a long time lol.
Regarding mdayonliner's post.
- First with the subscribers who trusted you with their contact details and
- 2nd with those who will buy the list.
Imagine 10 customer (fools) end up buying the list, 10 company/customer will sending 10 emails a day or with same shit, is going to end up in the junk folder of the email recipient. No conversion and nothing in return. Waste of autoresponder cost (money), time, bandwidth, memory etc.
A standard opt-in page always have the privacy warning to keep the details protected.
This is utter garbage spilled into text. First of all, if you know how to do e-mail marketing it certainly won't end up in the spam folder. Like it or not it's the world we live in today. What do you think the new GDPR policy is about? Read what they make you accept now and you'll see exactly how privacy is a myth to say the least. Each and every website collects your information and sells it to advertisers - it's how internet marketing works. I was just selling a targeted mailing list, nothing else - no names, no personal info, except an e-mail.
We can debate whether it's right or wrong but calling me a scammer is just stupid. So if you don't mind, I'd rest this case unless the OP manages to produce some evidence that he even spoke to me, let alone conducted business. You can post a new topic where we can debate the moral side of it, but I rest my case here.
