    LakeB2B is an email marketer. They use deceptive practices to avoid having their emails blocked by junk mail filters, including but not limited to the use of fake identities I have received literally dozens of unwanted emails from them. I have emailed with employees, all of whom assured me that I would no longer receive emails from his company, yet I continue to receive emails from them. This is in violation of Federal regulation. I have records of every email they have sent me - using false names and deceptive email addresses, if you need them.I simply want them to stop emailing me.Below is an email i received today after they told me i wouldn't receive any more emails. Note the deceptive name and email address. -----Original Message-----From: *** ******** ******************************* Sent: Thursday, February 13, 2025 11:51 AM To: ************************ Subject: *******, Following-up Client Contacts H* ******** *** ******* ** ****** ** ** ** ******** ****** *** *** *** ** **** **** **** ** ******* ** ********* *** *** ******* *** ** **** ********* *** ***** ******* ******** *** ******** ****** **********

    I was suspicious of the lack of reviews and the obvious fake reviews for LakeB2B as well as the relatively low price offered by LakeB2B. But I also was impressed by early responses to deliver very precisely segmented lists that other far more expensive companies couldn't. I was sent a list of supposed email opens from a "test" email to this list that produced an alleged open rate of *****%. This apparently was a well orchestrated sham list to impress me and give me a false sense of confidence in "the team." I fell for it because I needed to believe them as I was stuck without them. My own self delusion. They know how to scam and played me like a fiddle. Requiring a bank transfer also made me quite suspicious, as did the multiple addresses and the surprised person on the phone I got who had to think to get his story straight about what the company does. I stupidly sent them money. Since the time for delivery of my emails came and went, there has been no evidence that a single email went out and there has been absolute silence from the people I was dealing with. They packed up and disappeared. LakeB2B appears to be a well thought through and well orchestrated scam.
