I just got this email, this is really an agressive advertising aproach of iBill I think.

My name is Marc and I am an account manager here at iBill. I noticed that your sites ****.com are currently using CCBill as a payment processor.

As I am sure you are already aware of what has been going on at CCBill, but just in case you haven't heard, here are a couple links of what has been going on with CCBill. Now is the time to put iBill on your site - at least as a backup processor.

This is an eye opener.

When your competitor is down and wounded, the others pounce I suppose. Not sure if I agree with the method, though nothing is untrue, and it is probably a good time to go after some users.

I think ibill did a good job, at least they are tracking their competitors and know how to get customers.
