I intended to purchase an e-mail list of people with a specific name. I spoke to Mark Miller from Glencore and he informed me that he could provide me a list of over 7,000 e-mails, ALL of people with the name I was interested in. This cost me $400. Once I received the list I realized that no one, I repeat NO ONE on that list had the name I requested. This was the only reason I purchased the list.
Here was that correspondence:
me: “I just want to confirm that all 7,419 records are of people with either the first or last name XXX. Also, we will get the full e-mail list to use.”
Mark: “Correct and correct. All have with first or last name of XXX and you’ll have access to the name data with your list.”
The day I received the list and for 3 weeks after, I called and e-mailed. At first I thought that they may have accidentally given me the wrong list. I started to realize I was scammed. Then I received an e-mail from Peter Smith:
I am being told by my apartment that the list was delivered to you quite some time ago and that the contract was fulfilled. Please read the terms concerning the Satisfaction Guarantee.
If you would like I can have someone from Operations do a repull for you, but as stated in the terms that will be at 75% of the cost based on the licensing of the new data. You can send payment information directly to Accounting.

I sent Peter the e-mail that Mark said ALL people on the list would have the name I was intending to purchase and that the reality is...NONE of the names were there.
