Aweber closing IM accounts? Scare tactic?

Hi Folks

I received a somewhat disturbing (I thought) email from one of the "gurus" saying that Aweber is closing down IM accounts and that we should go to OptinMe. Is that true? I checked Aweber's website and there does not seem to be any news on this.

I quickly checked out Warrior forum and there does not seem to be any noise on this so is this guru trying some scare tactic? Anyone received this type of email?

    • Not naming names but mine came from a warrior member
    • In that case probably the best course of action is for everyone who gets one to unsubscribe from his list. I have just done so.
  • I doubt it! someone trying to get you to sign up via an affiliate link or something..
  • Sounds Like BS to me... I would think they are benefiting from optinme.com which, as far as I know is fairly new. Maybe this guru owns a part of Optinme.com...

    I don't see Aweber closing any accounts... except for the obvious reasons

    Just my 2 cents
  • Can you imagine how much money aweber would lose out on? That wouldn't be a very smart business decision at all! Sounds bogus to me.

    • Sounds a bit of a prank to me although not currently an Aweber user, however I want to change autoresponder accounts.

      Any recommendations would be useful? Pricing not the most important but an issue and want to find a company that gives good delivery to email in boxes rather than ending up in spam folders. Can offer good friendly customer support?

      Any feedback would be useful.

  • I got the same email. I certainly wouldn't class that person as a "guru". A wannabe, maybe.

    • You are being to generous. I would consder this person to be a Z lister wanabee. Now where is that unsubscribe link? Got it! See ya loser!

    Aweber get about 60% of their market share from internet marketers, closing their accounts will be very detrimental to their profits. I don't see that happening in this lifetime
  • Major Poo - I think
  • I don't think they're(Aweber shutting down) going to do that. The email might be a black propaganda from the competitor.
  • I too receive the alleged Aweber alarm. Checked my Aweber a/c; no problems there. Checked whois & sure enough there is a connection between the 'guru' & the Optinme suggested replacement. Acted accordingly.... your call friends

    Also googled the issue. Here is an article with some xplanation of what som IM marketers may have experienced: Did Aweber Close Your Account? | For Internet Newbies
  • Any business that would use an autorespnder is essentially an Internet marketing business. Is Aweber shutting down the accounts of every one of their customers? I would think not.
  • I also received the same email.
    My immediate reaction was to unsuscribe.

    Not sure but think that an email such as that one
    could in fact be grounds for unpleasant action
    against him from Aweber.

    • I sent it to Awebers support desk. I am wondering if Aweber would be able to take action against such claims?
