People can be really stupid when it comes to trying to make money…

I don’t know for sure the exact context of this question I got.

But everything about it screams, “I want a shortcut to getting rich.”

And there’s all sorts of red flags waving and alarm bells going off in my mind.

It’s a question about email lists.

About either a bought email list, or a list of emails that were acquired through even less reputable means.

And if I’m reading the situation right…

This is an example of the kind of stupid behavior that shows up when someone is trying to shortcut their way to success…  

Instead of doing the right thing and the thing that really works.

Here’s the email list question I got…

My biggest question is on how to gain people’s trust? Especially with cold emailing, because I have millions of private active emails but I haven’t found a good way to build a good relationship with them.
