Pretty sure it will be very short lived. >From the demo, looks like they are using MailWizz (http://www.mailwizz.com/) SaaSified, modified a bit to work with those API senders, and presented as a solution.
Pretty sure the fine folks at the mentioned ESP’s will catch on quickly. Most that can be done now is to notify them of this site, and hope they shut them down ASAP. Over 10 years in this business, and never cease to be amazed at the length these idiots will go to get their spam out there! Kind Regards, Richelo Killian On September 25, 2017 at 16:40:46, Anne P.

(See screenshot for the ESPs they are featuring on their site - and I'm sure they are using others such as CC - and pretty much any ESP that offers an API and a free account.) Here is some of their sales pitch: "It’s a little-known fact that some specialist email service providers allow you to send emails using a free allocation each month Free emails from these email service providers range from 3k per month to a massive 150k per month! We have created 6 pre-configured API connections to 6 email service providers that provide a free monthly allowance Connecting just 2 accounts can provide you with 250k emails per month That’s a massive 8000 emails per day for FREE! And this is where the magic happens... We have created complex algorithms in the app that allows you to use these email credits for FREE You simply set the number of emails the app sends per hour and per month If you connect multiple providers the app is configured to send the maximum allowance to each provider per hour Because you can set the monthly cap, YOU NEVER EXCEED THE MONTHLY ALLOWANCE! And remember... These services are the best performing email services providers in the world So, providing you comply with the sending rules and don’t send spam You have an extremely valuable resource for free providing outstanding email delivery that would cost hundreds of dollars per month using other email service providers Need to send more than 8,000 emails per day? If you have a bigger list and need to send more than 8000 emails per day... You can connect to 12 of the world’s leading email services providers using pre-configure APIs and templates The app has built in parallel sending capacity so you can send up to 100,000 emails per hour should you wish to! This is how the pro email marketers set up, do you think any of the major brands use monthly services like aweber and get response? No, they use dedicated email service providers whose sole aim is to deliver emails Using our app to connect to multiple providers you can ensure you get the best possible delivery with NO DOWNTIME AND SEND UNLIMTED EMAILS FOR AS LITTLE AS $9 FOR 100,000 EMAILS! And remember, you can store unlimited subscribers for free and connect up to 12 email service providers below which will save you hundreds of dollars per year" (To those of you representing the businesses in the screenshot, they are using your trademarks without permission.)
