I feel i'm doing a public service by posting this. I hope nobody gets suckered by something like this. legitimate people should always be willing to let you test their product or at the very least give you some trustworthy references to support their claims.

First message - (unsolicited)
163500505: you can rent our double opt-in lists

7.5 million straight - $13k

2.5 million gay - $3k

Brett's LapTop: gfy

Casinoboy: hehehe

Casinoboy: so you not interested?

Brett's LapTop: ya all trashed your reputations earlier - best of luck

Casinoboy: why what did i do?

Casinoboy: hahahaha

Brett's LapTop: i don't really have time to get into it - but from what I read - I didn't read any posts by you that gave me even a shread of trust in you or your business practices - the only thing I can say was that you were polite

Brett's LapTop: even through the repeated attempts by the other guy to be a dick to you ... you continued to treat him well

Brett's LapTop: but i got a sneaking suspcious that you are a snake in the grass

Casinoboy: why is that?

Brett's LapTop: all i have to go on is first instincts - unless you have a list of people that will vouche for you

Brett's LapTop: ... err.. a list of credible (well known) people

Casinoboy: why don't you rent my list out and see what happens

Brett's LapTop: why don't you send it to 10,000 people for free - and show me what it can do

Casinoboy: if you receive thousands of complaints you know i've coned you

if you receive few complaints but see a sudden increase in your conversions, bingo you know i'm legit

Casinoboy: so its up to you

Brett's LapTop: not really. it's up to you. you don't go to a car dealership and buy a car with out at least test driving it. Better yet - you don't buy a car with out even seeing if the person you are buying it from even OWNS the car

Casinoboy: my way or the high way, sir :-D

Brett's LapTop: hit the road then joker =)

Casinoboy: good don't come back to me

Brett's LapTop: I love easy decisions like that

Brett's LapTop: =)

Casinoboy: so do i

Brett's LapTop: boy, you're breaking my heart

Casinoboy: who cares goodbye

Brett's LapTop: you couldn't or wouldn't give a name of a person that would vouche for you - and you want me to feel bad on passing on the "opportunity of a life time"

Casinoboy: Thought you made an 'easy decision'?:-D

Brett's LapTop: :::shrug:::: or you made it for me by continuing to show that you live under an elm tree - - even after I said that I was concerned that you were a shady person - - you wouldn't legitimize yourself

Casinoboy: why don't you toss a coin

Brett's LapTop: call it in the air

Casinoboy: tales you rent the list, heads you don't

Brett's LapTop: sorrry you lost. (that's about as fast as my money would dissappear if i sent you a wire)

Casinoboy: ok, nevermind

bye
Brett's LapTop: good bye
