Hello GFY Members,

My name is Tara and I'm the managing director here at Spark.com.

I am exploring different ways in which our site can gain extra revenue. My team has come up with the following proposal for web-masters interested in dating traffic (mainly U.S).

Spark.com achieves 7,000 plus (double op-tin) registrations daily, our idea here is to create an auto-responder email package advertising your product or service, below is a summary of our packages available at the current time.

We have white-listed IP's allowing any images/content to be viewable and delivered to the inbox, including Gmail

Package A


ONE Auto-responder email sent to the individual ( we will ensure the email is only sent to men) after 5 minutes of registration.

Duration- 1 Month - Price $2500

Totalling 210,000 emails over your one month campaign.

-----------------

Package B

TWO auto responder emails , one sent within 5 minutes, the next sent exactly 10 hours after the first auto responder email is sent

Duration 1 Month- Price $3500

Totalling 420,000 emails over your one month campaign.

----------------

We cannot guarantee Open-rate or CTR, open-rate is dependent on many factors including the subject line, your CTR is dependent on the content of your email.

Our main customer base is the U.S the rest being other EU countries , we are able to target specific countries e,g U.S if desired.

We feel this is a very good package for web-masters looking to increase there revenues during the festive period!

As we do not wish to overload our users we only wish to sell two campaigns at simultaneous instances.

We are only seeking to work with large organizations , therefore please leave your contact details and we will be in touch.

1. So you own/work for spark.com.
2. Spark.com gets at least 7000 daily registrations that double opts in on their e-mails.
3. You can (apparently) guarantee inbox delivery of your (spam) e-mails.
4. You now want to sell mails, as auto-replies to mail your expected 210000 registrations over the next month. And you are willing to charge as little as $2500 for this.

If I was able to get 210K dating site registrations in 30 days, I'd API that shit and earn 500K a month.

This thread rings all my alarm bells and somehow, when ever I see someone trying to sell large quantities of US male e-mails I think of the little scammer Idatelocals...
