Email Marketing Scams Revealed

The internet is full of opportunities that respond to the needs of internet marketers. Unfortunately that same need is the adrenaline that floods and entices internet fraud. Recently while browsing the internet I came across an ad for a product called Gmail Pro, the product promised that I could email millions for a lifetime fee of $20. I am a huge supporter of the risk versus rewards strategy, so I purchased the product and put it to the test. In this brief report I am going to share with you the amazing results of Gmail Pro.

Gmail Pro made a promise so I decided to take the 20 dollar show and prove challenge. I set a few highpowered email letters with very compelling titles such as “Submit Your Website To a Network of 600,000 For FR<EE”. This particular title is responsible for 125 sign ups in one of my programs. I also tracked the response to my email by using my best viral tracking tool, after all if my ad was going to 6 million I wanted to maximize my advertising. I proceeded with a marketing campaign that went on for 2 weeks and consisted of 4 emails daily for 4 different programs.

And the results Are…

The results are in…Are you ready for this? I receive exactly zero responses from my efforts. I felt that maybe I was unfair since I had use those same emails for prior marketing campaigns, maybe they were no longer effective. I decided to send those same emails to the top ten safelist which resulted in 186 clicks, 153 unique clicks and 6 sign ups in my first mailing. I attempted to contact the company promoting this product to share my amazing testimony and receive this statement “You been blacklisted from using this system..There are no refunds and your IP address has been blocked.

Through my amazing adventure I consider my $20 investment a success because I was able to put to rest the curiousity that I had for these outrageus programs. I feel great that I was able to shed some light on one of the many scams circulating through the internet. I answered the questions I had about these ridiculous lifetime offers to email millions, but I still am befuttaled by how these companies can continue to operate on the internet without liability? I am curious to hear what your responses are to this question.
