Learn from my pain... do NOT buy lists from ANYONE
 

Learn from my pain... do NOT buy lists from ANYONE. The emails are garbage and you will lose money. Period.

And there are thieves who will try to sell you stolen data SEEDED WITH THE REAL OWNER'S TRACKERS. Here is one thief in particular to beware of:

"Stephen Smith/Peter James" keeps changing his username on GFY because he has already ripped so many people off here. That's out of HIS mouth, when he asked me to "front" for him because he had trashed his reputation on GFY. I declined.

If you ever come into contact with "Stephen Smith/Peter James" based on my experience, I suggest you run.

what kind of lists is he selling?

I bet email list.

it's a well-known scammer from some 3rd world country shithole.

Yes, he tries to sell email lists, stolen email lists.

What a pitty. There are some email list services (which have really big email db). You can use this kind of services instead of buying list

Can you recommend any that are cost effective? I have tried three and not been impressed.

We have a list which has been compiled over 15 years, but it's not for sale anymore :pimp

It is a very good list, I only use maybe once a year
