A new email is circulating touting a new mailer that purports to send your
email to billions of opt-in subscribers. That should be your first clue.
YouTubeMailer
The really worrysome thing is that it uses a recent purchase by Google of
YouTube, the online video system.
Here is the link to the YouTube website http://YouTube.com
Here is the link to the Google purchase
announcement http://www.google.com/intl/en/press/pressrel/google_youtube.html
Is this legit? Only time will tell. Any program that purports to send to
billions of subscribers is immediately suspect. Besides, what good are a billion
subscribers if most of them are from non-English speaking countries, have no
interest in you offering, and merely clog up your web site so that legitimate
cusomters can't access the site?
Don't waste your $20 on this one. It appears to be a SCAM
pure and simple.
Once you pay your money, you are threatened with termination if your computer
or IP changes. Suppose you use a laptop, like I do? That means you can't access
your account from anywhere other than the location you first accessed it, and if
your IP changes, as most of them do, you are out of luck.
Every time you disconnect from the Internet and reconnect, your IP changes.
Fortunately it is only $20 down the drain.
Then again, it may
work.
It only costs $20 to try, and the traffic may bring you a buyer. That is
pretty cheap advertising. Besides, if you recruit others to use the program, you
get $15 in commissions for everyone who signs up.
So, while I have my doubts about this one, it may work, at least for
awhile.
Thanks for reading.
