Do You Realize You May Be Breaking the Law ?

If you are Buying Leads and Lists, then contacting those Opt-in people about your Affiliate Program, Network Marketing Business, your Real Estate business, your Dental Services, etc ..... YOU are breaking the Law and YOU could be liable for some hefty fines if reported.

I've been on a campaign for a long time, beating my drum about the Leads and Lists Scams.  But then I got this email today, SPAM, mind you.... something we are ALL too familiar with ... and it came from a lead broker company:

Jennifer,

Can I send you hundreds of fresh opt-in leads daily?

Contacting new people about your business opportunity
or website is the key to making money online. Now you
can safely contact hundreds of new people every day
for less than $1.00 a day.

P.S. Jennifer if you act soon I will send 250 highly targeted
visitors to your website just for signing up.

Odd thing is, when I went to the website posted in the email, I got a message stating "This site has been temporarily suspended."  

Now what you may not know is (and nobody's telling you):

 It is against the Law to send Your offer to a OPT-IN Lead that You
bought or were gifted the lead as a bonus to join some company..

Did YOU understand what You just read ? NO, then Read it again ?

You cannot buy an OPT-IN lead of ANY kind from ANYONE then
send them Your Offer because they did NOT OPT-IN for Your Offer - they Opted-IN for the Offer that the Lead seller was offering that free laptop, free Ipod, etc..

If You send Your Offer to them You are guilty of SPAM and You
are at risk of being prosecuted under the Law that YOU broke..

The leads and list companies are not telling you this, but I know the damage buying leads or lists and then sending out 'unsolicited' emails can cost.  I have a friend I met through mentoring who was 'gifted' free leads as part of joining an opportunity.  She sent out a swarm of emails to people on the list.  The system she was using to send out the emails shut down her account.

Not only did the ISP shut down her account, they also shut down the 'system's ' account and fined them $199 to start with a threat of $799 per day afterwards and black-listing them from ever using the ISP again.

The young lady went back to the 'upline' who 'gifted' her the free leads and his comment was "oh, well we do specific training to show you HOW to use the leads without getting in trouble.  If you do not do it the specific way we teach, then that's your problem."

I have another friend I met through mentoring who lost his entire website after he sent out 1000 emails from a list broker.  Out of the 1000, 10 bounced back as bad.  That was enough for the ISP to shut him down, fine him and blacklist him.

I have yet another friend I met through mentoring who recently discovered she was  breaking the law.  She got a warning from her ISP to STOP, went to her upline to discuss her concerns and her upline told her "don't worry about that.  I get them all the time.  Just keep doing what I am telling you."

Now I ask you this- when this woman gets slammed with a fine of anywhere from $199, $750, $1000, perhaps even PER DAY, is her upline going to cough up the fee or bear any LEGAL responsibility? 

I think we can all pretty much answer that one with a resounding "NO".

This is serious business folks.

How did I learn all this stuff?  I became a student of the Industry. I found a resource, Mentoring For Free.  It's the only place I ever found that explained the truth about how this all works. 

Some people come to this site and don't like reading what I have to say, especially when it comes to looking at some of these programs I get spammed about (yep using those lists and leads those companies sell us and then remove themselves from any liability).  Some call me a dream stealer or flogger or a negative person.  That's all right.  I always go back to the old statement "The TRUTH HURTS" and when it hurts enough some people would rather label me than open their eyes.  I know, I've been there, done that.

We can PLEAD ignorance all we want when we get caught - but that's not going to protect us.
