Blasting - (Scam Alert!)

This generic term is sometimes used loosely for sending out

large amounts of (assumed non-spam) email, such as to

multiple eZines or Safelists.

See “

eZines

.”

However, there is a lesser-understood ‘technique’ called Blasting that scammers

commonly use to sell software. Beware any Software that claims to “Blast” your

website out to large numbers of directories, other websites, classified Ads, FFAs,

or even “free” eZine publishers. If they are charging money for this software or

service, you won’t ever hear from them again.

If they aren’t charging money for it, then they’re harvesting your email address

and you’ll be the next “blastee.”
