It’s all so confusing…using words to grab a market!

On 8/10/07 I received the following email:

The link goes to a site with the following logo:

But the site address is at:

http://cb.adprofile.net/lrs/68/index.html?OID=6523&nopop=1&xid=0&CID=110368&SID=310996

Obviously this is an adverting campaign so I navigated to christianfamilyloans.com and found this (a search portal from information.com):

With a popup window for this (you’ll see this company again):

OK, so There is no ChristianFamilyLoans.com, there is a search portal and an Ad for Low Rate Source. So lets go back to the original email and start over. The email link opens this page:

The addresses listed on the Contact Us page are for christianfamilymorgage.com (this page loads a Server not found error)

The address listed on the About Us page is for lowratesource.com (this page loads the LowRateSource site)

I can go on but I think I have found the company. I’m not saying there is anything wrong with this company, I don’t have enough information to know for sure.

My Opinion:

If I were looking for a Christian business I would look elsewhere.

Something to think about:

This email and resulting link, have made reference or navigated to the following sites:

• shoppersavin.info (sending site)
• cb.adprofile.net (linked site)
• christianfamilyloans.com (linked site logo)
• christianfamilymorgage.com (email reference)
• lowratesource.com (email reference)
