This company contacted us regarding a trade show that we will be attending. They offered to provide a verified email list of opt-in attendees of the show we could market to, here are their claims in an email they sent to us:
Thank you for interest in our services. Your email was forwarded to me by Lucy from marketing department.
We have 12,000 verified opt-in contacts attendees of PMA 2017
All our contacts comprise of complete contact information including email addresses for each contact and are compliant as per CAN SPAM Laws.
You can acquire this list of contacts at $1500 with complete ownership rights & unlimited usage
It includes data fields such as : First Name, Last Name, Company Name, Job Title, Official Email, Telephone Number, Fax Number,
Mailing Address, Zip Code, Company Website URL, Industry, SIC Code, Industry Description, Employee Size, Revenue Size, etc
The list is delivered in excel or csv format with complete ownership rights.
We do not pose any restriction on its usage.
We provide 90% guarantees on emails and 100% guarantees for all other fields in writing(contract).
If you face any bad contacts or any hard bounces it would be replaced by fresh contacts at no cost.
Once purchased, we received a list a week after and the list was completely different from what they were promising, the bulk of the contacts were not in our industry and the small fraction of the contacts that were in our industry were just random phone numbers that they got off the internet to the physical stores, not the corporate contacts they were promising.
Before purchasing they were very responsive to email, after trying to contact them about this issue I got no response to 3 email attempts; there is no phone number listed on their website, nor is there a phone contact on the email signature of any of the previous emails received by them.
