Email Marketing Gone Wrong

Website Tagged.com got tagged hard by New York's Attorney General, fined half a million for deceptive email practices. Tagged.com appears to have stolen contact lists and then sent deceptive SPAM emails to unsuspecting web users inviting them to view photographs of friends. How lame can you get? Tagged.com is lucky to get off so light, spammers have been doing jail time lately.

Internet marketers, E-commerce sites and email marketers need to consult an experienced internet law attorney before launching any promotional campaign. Otherwise, an exciting promotion can go wrong and cost the website owner or email marketer thousands of dollars in fines and/or civil damages.
