CPA offer and the resulting SPAM!

Hi All

I was looking at some CPA email submit offers to promote in the credit card niche and put a test email into The Credit Card Lab found on a well known CPA network. As usual with these tests I used a test email. That was last Wednesday, one week ago. Since than I have received 343 emails to that address. Most of them credit related but many off topic too.

A few questions spring to mind:
1.) How does this work? Do Credit labs pay their $3 CPA and then sell the address to as many marketers as possible?
2.) What do you reckon they make for their $3 investment.
3.) How the hell do they get away with it?

My advice is keep well clear!

Cheers
Jim

Wow, 343 emails???

I stay away from CPA...to many variables and I feel it is a passing phase.

I feel that it is a big mess right now and the actually do sell your email address to anyone who is willing to pay. You have to go with a reputable network.

good luck
