Buying an Email List
If you are buying an email contact list, this is highly illegal even if a friend barrow or sells to you their list of contacts and here is why.

When a customer or potential customer signs up to receive future offerings from a business, nonprofit or membership organization they are trusting the organization operator with what is known as private information. The customer has either agreed by checking a box on your web site or checked a box on a form they filled to allow future communications to be sent from time to time from you to their email inbox.

If they signed up say for a desert resort vacation in Palm Springs and they agreed to allow future offers to be sent to them this is referred to as “Opting In” or “Opt-In”.

However if they did not sign up to receive jewelry specials from a Palm Springs Jewelry Store but all of the sudden they are receiving them you are sending SPAM.
