VerticalResponse users are not spammers. You all upload lists of people that agreed to get email from you at one point or another in some way. It may have been an opt-in form, it may have been when they handed you their card to contact them at a trade show. So how would you know if you are a spammer? I've taken a stab at poking fun at some real world spammers.
You know you're a spammer if:
- You bought a CD of 250 million email addresses for “only $29.95!”
- You sell Viagkra or Ciialliis
- You have a Nigerian Uncle who needs $1 Million FAST!
- You email your same list 5 times a day.
- You refuse to let anyone (including the Feds) find you by your postal address.
- You’ve figured out the by mailing people from “Paypal” you can ask them to “verify their credit card number” by entering it in the field below.
- Your subject line says “Are we on for our meeting?” and your content reads “All New Online Drugstore – 50% off!”
- You work at a company that makes canned, jellied meat.
Ok, this is what a 6 hour plane ride gets you all, me being silly. Just for fun, got any to add?
A couple more:
1. The word "Free" in the subject line
2. Some European countries have spam filters that look in the body of an email for the word "free."
