Anonymous Marketers

Written by Patrick Caron


Have you ever met “Anonymous Marketers”? If you are a webmaster, or participate in newsgroups or discussion lists, you probably have. Who they are? They arerepparttar ones sending you emails beginning with a sentence like, “I got your email address from a list of people who are interested in ……. (business opportunities, health products, etc.), therefore this is not spam.” Or they sometimes say, “You are receiving this email because we belong torepparttar 121698 same mailing list. Therefore, this is not spam.”

Sounds familiar?

I know a lot of people are receiving them, even though they should not. The problem is that many so-called “Internet Marketers” collect emails from newsgroups with a software and spamrepparttar 121699 people on this list. Then they write a nice sentence atrepparttar 121700 beginning ofrepparttar 121701 message likerepparttar 121702 one above, thinking that you will think something like, “I guess I forgot I subscribed to this mailing list”. I call these mailings “legal spam”, since they trick people into thinking that they agreed to receive them.

BEWARE: “Anonymous Marketers” also use a nice legal scheme where they write “To be removed from this list, hitrepparttar 121703 REPLY button and write REMOVE inrepparttar 121704 subject line” and then they add something like, “Accordingrepparttar 121705 bill 1234567890, since a way to be removed fromrepparttar 121706 list is included in this message, this is not spam.”

The fact is: it does not matter whether or not it is legal, it is still very annoying, because they were unsolicited emails. And sometimes when you reply with REMOVE inrepparttar 121707 subject line, you receive a nice email from you ISP, saying thatrepparttar 121708 message could not be delivered becauserepparttar 121709 email address does not exist.

Of course, it only takes a few seconds to start reading these emails and delete them. However, if we want to have an internet that is a nice place to be. These tactics (andrepparttar 121710 people using them) must be stop. This is why we must try to stop these postings: to build a “high-quality internet.”

Some “anonymous marketers” will say that these emails are free and that people receiving them should not complain. I have only one thing to say about this, “I hate receiving unsolicited emails and I hate it even more when there is no way to be removed fromrepparttar 121711 mailing list.”
