Torn between “Evil fraud grumblegrumble” and “Look clearly there is enough sophistication in marketing and CRM implementation here to support an actual software company. Why not go legit?”

So there’s a business process being run here, right? They have some offering which extracts money out of people who want to be published, and that offering runs at some amount of scale.

And I landed on a lead list, which suggests that they’re smart enough to know this is relevant to my interests. And then they found out my cell phone number, likely via going from a public database where it is tied to one of my businesses in a discoverable fashion.
There are *a lot* of software companies which could not have figured these steps, or similar ones, out.
