Taking out the names, but I just received this (probably because I run the Rondos, which relies on email voting):
Hi,
Hope you're doing awesome!
I'm reaching out to see if you're interested in diving into the opportunity of acquiring the Visitors/Registrants List.
Here's what's on the table:
Event Name: XXXXX Comic Convention 2025 (city removed)
Date: XXXX Jan 2025
Location: XXXXXX, USA
Registration Count: 9,043
Each entry in this list is packed with essential details:
Contact Name, Email Address, Company Name, URL/Website, Phone Number, and Title/Designation.
In today's digital landscape, the best path to business growth is through digital channels. This list serves as a powerful tool to seamlessly share information about your organization and products directly and digitally with potential buyers, paving the way for numerous promising client connections.
If acquiring this list sounds like a game-changer for your business, we're ready to provide you with the cost and any additional details you need.
Looking forward to hearing from you soon.
I of course would never buy this to send out Rondo ballots, nor do I ever reveal to anyone the emails of who votes each year in the Rondos. I assume the event organizers are aware they are selling the list to someone who resells it. But jeez...
And of course, this is a small-potato example of what goes on at mega scale. Every time on Facebook or the Web when someone asks who's better, the Beatles or the Stones, or a math problem, or can you see the hidden puppy, the chances are good the replies/emails are being harvested by someone and sold.
Bah.
