You’ve very likely seen the ads that will offer you the moon by giving millions of email addresses for next to nothing, well if you fall for one of these ads, you will most likely end up being labled as a ‘spammer’ almost as quickly as you send the email. A good 60% - 80% of the addresses you attempt to purchase are, in fact, bogus or have been duplicated so many times that complaints to your ISP are bound to happen, and the remaining 20% - 40% never even requested to receive any type of information from anyone, nor did they request to be on any {email marketing list}.
