Though not illegal yet, buying email lists puts B2B emails at a high risk of being reported as spam. If the businesses buy email lists from less reputable sellers, the list may include spam traps placed on the internet by block listing organisations to help track spammers.
Even when renting email lists, a business must ensure the list owners share the list size, demographics and other vital information about their audiences.
