Rent a List is Scammer and Spammer!

Rent-a-List.com Review : Scamming and Spamming!
I try various advertising and traffic resources all the time. Of course I never wasted a single dime buying those worthless “millions hits”.
Recently I heard about Rent-a-List.com, an opt-in email marketing service provider. They also sell banner, text and sponsored ads on ezines. Well, the service is actually very costly. But every month they run some special promotion wherein you get upto 75% discount.
So I took advantage of their promotional code and bought 100K banner impressions for $60. I was really not expecting any conversion, but expected few thousand visitors to my CPA offer. Now it’s been nearly a month after I bought banner ad and I only got about 4000 impressions and 5 clicks… forget conversion.
Just check my stats screen shot below.
I think it will take many years for them to delivery my 100,000 impressions… maybe few decades…or not before I die! I also heard some horror stories of their service on popular internet marketing forum DigitalPoint.com.
To add further insult, yesterday I got a SPAM mail from them. They dare to send most ridiculous ads to their own advertisers! They sent ads to a “Pro Online Marketer” like me about making money online by reading emails (those get paid to read emails CRAP!

I think if you buy their tagetted ezine ad you get traffic from GPT sites (Get paid to read email) which is totally worthless.
So… here is the conclusion:
Rent-a-list.com is not only scammer but spammer too! However you can try their opt-in-email marketing campaign in small quantity.

I have similar result with rent-a-list. I think we should warn other marketers not to fall into this trap.
RENT-A-LIST IS A SCAMMMMMM
Def some good info here – keep it coming
I was planning about to TRY their email marketing campaign to promote my master resell rights FREE EBOOKS subscription page at , but it seem SCAM and SPAM from their services, luckily i had visited this REVIEWS before pay them any money from my pockets
Thats why it’s so important to fulfill your promises if you’re doing your business on the Internet, your brand can get negative reviews everywhere hehe!
I also look for ways to make money online and through Affiliate Marketing programs etc and find DigitalPoint the best since because there I’ve found many legitimate sites.
1 dissatisfied customer= loss of 100′s of potential sales..
A negative review on ReviewBoss.com can almost kill a small to medium web business.
but those idiots never understand it
Many thanks for the review. I was just a click away from subscribing their service, any good alternatives to this rent-a -list?
Wow,
Was just about to hit the 'order' button and I thought I'd pop a Rent-a-List review into Google and bow am I glad that I did.
Thanks Guys – have saved me of $300 on my Give Away promotion.
Let's spend it on some advertizing that really works
Thanks for writing this review. I was on the payment page for the 12.99 targeted email advertising but before I went further I wanted to see how it worked for others. What do you reccommend as a targeted advertising program? Does Google adwords work for you? What is your conversion rate? Thanks again!

Thanks for the great info. Like many others I was considering their services. After seeing so many of these types of scams, are there any good paid marketing companies on the net?
oh no .. i just bought a $99 package from the
should have read this review first 
I am happy I know about this now. I was going to do business with them.
Now that I know not to go with them…….
Does anyone know of a GOOD and PROVEN way to advertise? Cost effective, too?
Thanks for the Heads-up! This discussion saved me a few bucks… Last thing I need is something else that doesn’t work, and just take strugglers (in the same business) money!!! UNNECESSARY, Point Blank, period!!
Curiosity kills the cat. Don’t intend to bad-mouth any business here, but Approx. 1 month ago I tried the 300 TARGETED ads package/stand-a-lone for $22, after reading these posts anyway. Not embarrassed at all. Must try something before saying it doesn’t work. To date I have received 159 views and made ’0′ sales/or sign-ups.
What I don’t understand is – Where the heck is the other 141 views due me? Now I am believing even more that this program is not Targeted at all. My 2 personal ads tracking software stats show 3 clicks since 8-4-10.
Stats in the members area disappeared (No stats avail). What’s up with all the lies? If they are targeted to the right audience (and I know I chose the correct audience, crafted the best keywords ad, etc., then someone should have needed the product I offered, esp.. the pros, and wanna-bes in the music entertainment industry.
I don’t get it. Remember, Lies do stand out & prevent trusting further advertising with the website, so why lie? Easier to be honest, for repeat business. I still don’t get it, not even the rest of my paid for views/clicks,etc…. What? A guaranteed 50% open/click-through rate. Yeah, right!!! The Big ’3′ clicks!!!
Does anyone else want to tell the truth? Holler back, please!
