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 "OPT-IN targeted emails approach.
First of all I want you all to know that marketing with any kind of "OPT-IN 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 emails" customers it is going to cost you big. If you have a company that charges as little as $298.99 for say 3,000,000 million emails and will throw in an extra 3000 thousand targeted emails or so. That is just that. You are paying for the 3 thousand "OPT-IN targeted emails" or so. NOT 3 MILLION. The 3 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.
You will find companies that promise to send even more emails out and maybe even double the amount you are buying if you were to pay for their services with
e-check or discover or pay pal, the list goes on.
Then what happens is they accidentally take out your money 2 times and say whoops I am sorry and get you to invest it back in by a promise of even more emails sent out. I mean they will promise it will go out to an ungodly amount of "OPT-IN targeted emails" like 8 million or some huge un heard of number like that.
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 any kind of "OPT-IN targeted emails" type 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 "OPT-IN targeted emails" because they were "OPT-IN targeted emails.
Then here come the STALL TACTICS.
Things are said like,
I will have to call your website host and verify 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 Michael and he was not allowed to give out any information. BUT! This Michael did against the rules of his company and even though it could cost him his job because he is giving out information agree that there numbers were right at this "OPT-IN targeted emails" place even though he could not legally give out information.
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!
Any kind of "OPT-IN targeted emails" is the way NOT to go. "OPT-IN targeted emails" websites are the worst possible email scams on the internet highway today if they promise you anything more than about 1 penny or 1 nickel per email, or if they can not honestly provide you with numbers to prove it. Then DO NOT get scammed by any kind of "OPT-IN targeted emails". There is no money back guaranteed satisfaction. And any site asking you to give them an e-check and that they would double your order should be definitely avoided.
I never did recover 1 cent. I did report this company. I hope you were smart enough to read between the lines.
