For the sake of protecting people who use or plan on using mailing lists purchased from a 3rd party vendor, here is a little review and warning:

Do not do business with this company called ThriveMG (thrivemg.com). The owner Rob Bellenfant is unethical and a one man show. His mailing lists are complete
garbage with no quality, no actual opt-in proof.

We have received more than 50 spam complaints in less than one week due to his mass bulk spamming. We suspended his service and he started harassing us, spamming us at several emails (most made up that do not exist) and also threated to dispute charges even for the previous month where service was provided in full.

This man is unethical and a dishonest liar. He accused us of charging him for August when in fact we did not. He didn't have the common sense to check his statement.

Stay away from this company as far as you can. His lists are thrash and not in compliance with CAN-SPAM act. He also uses snow shoeing method for spamming as well.

This is a fair warning to you all.

Sample spam complaint received, more than 3 dozens in a single weekend resulting in his service termination.
