getemails a scam?

[BHT]

This look legit to you or a scam, getting emails off websites without the persons consent?

Ravo of fpctraffic is plugging on another forum

https://getemails.com

I would not touch it with a 10 foot pole. First of all because anything Ravo endorses or promotes I will never go for. Second on the face of it I see a gazillion problems. I will take a closer look later but will never use it.

Initial thought are problems with:

1. Privacy
2. Spamming once you use that email address send unsolicited mail.
3. Pissed of people who got their emails harvested.
4. In Europe there is GDPR and they do enforce it.
5. Does it pass the CAN-SPAM laws.

Who started it, Ravo?

This one sounds too risky to me

[greatpornlinks]

Unreal what people come up with

[Colmike7]

Depends what country the collecting/sending is coming from and their spam laws..
SOI/DOI that the subscriber signed up for is much better, though, for effective campaigns.

One of the dumbest marketing ideas I have heard in years

Not sure how it is okay to scrap emails off a website and sell it.

Even if it is ok, which it's not, if you're looking to make money on email campaigns then that is not the right way to do it. First of all everyone on those sold lists will already be spammed to hell since most sold lists are sold to many people, and you definitely won't be the first unless you know the collector. Second, quality sucks, won't be soi/doi, and most of the time way before you get through your list(s), you will be tagged for spam, even if you "warm up" your servers slowly. Last, you risk yourself getting in trouble with spam laws depending where you are.


psst: If anyone does mailers the right way, dating preferred even these days, we should talk. I know more about this than I make it seem. I got on an advisory board at ASE without even trying and my focus was mailers then lol (With TM, but the badge says DF since I went with both).. : x

Ravo must be hurting peddling his hits and trying some new idea. This new idea is even worse than selling worthless traffic which is what most traffic brokers sell these days.

ravo owns it?
