Do you need an Executives email address? Look in here.

When I first joined CB, I was always posting topics about if someone had a contact at a specific company. Sometimes you get lucky, but more often than not nobody would give up their contact. Well, I've been using the following method, utilizing my secret internet detective skills to get contacts at any company that I want. We will be using GE as our enemy today.

Step 1: Gather the name of the company you want to attack. Once you have a company in mind, proceed to step 2.

Step 2: So, you found the name of the company. Now, do a quick google search what string they use at the end of the email, in this case, GE. After googling, you will see that they use many different ones, @GE.COM, @GEMONEY.com, etc. Write those down.

Step 3: Now, find that companies website. Once on the website, look for the "Leadership" page, or something like that. I picked this guy. http://www.ge.com/company/leadership/bios_exec/mark_vachon.html So now we know our victims name. If there is not a leadership page, another good place to look would be the SEC filings for names of executives, (google finance, yahoo finance, etc). Or google, GE executives. Write down a few names. Jigsaw.com is a great place to just find names. Write down 3 or 4 names if need be.

Step 4: Now, since we are looking for Mark Vachon, we are going to go to an email verification website. I use this one: http://verify-email.org/

Once there, start trying different email variations. If it is bad, it will come back as a bad email. I tried Markvachon@ge.com and the result was a bad email. Hmm, how about Mark.Vachon@Ge.com. This time it worked, and the result came back as OK.

Step 5: Email your victim. I normally find four or five people and email all at once(Dont do that if only 5 people work at the company). With a little bit of Googling, you can find anyone's email.

Step 6: Wait for a reply. I have been very very lucky that everyone who I have had to track down like this have always replied back and fixed my issues. Going about it this way has reaped huge rewards for me. I got so sick of GW's going unanswered. If you know the email is good, then you know they are reading it, and not someone in a mail room somewhere who just tosses it in the trash can.

Good Luck!

Good tip, I've done this with CRA's before and have been mildly successful.

Interesting. I sure would like to find an executive at both Wells Fargo Home Mortgage and at Nelnet to try and see if anyone will remove some lates for me.

Well there you go. Give it a try.

Great work.

 

I would just add the email verification website is not 100% accurate. It all depends on how the company's email system is configured. It could give false positives. Anti-spam/security software will do this to preven email address harvesting.

 

Even so, it's still a good method.

I have found situtations where the e-mail gets routed to a Secretary, etc before anyone else sees them.

 

The top secret e-mails for business Execs are hard to come by.

 

But your method does work, i have done it also.

I'm not sure how accurate the email verification is. I just use it to get me in the ball park. Sometimes it's first.last@xxxxx.com, or first_last@xxxxx.com etc, etc.

The way I figure it, at least it's an executive's secretary, versus some clown in the basement. I've had the secretaries email and call me as well.

Thanks for the tip!

I'm gonna try this with my kid's pediatrician. It's a large regional clinic..big enough to where the "head" person is far removed from the regular billing office.

 

I want to try and get some medical collections recalled from the CA. This is gonna be a tough one, so my letter has got to be good! I'm talking "moving mountains" good.

 

We'll see how it goes!

Thanks for the tip!

No problem!

This website is awesome, thanks. I have sent a dispute to many Experian execs hoping to get an answer from someone. Great post thanks again!

Hopefully you get a response from someone. I've never had to email any of the Cra's.

Great info! Just seems like First National/Legacy Visa keeps their information safeguarded. I have gotten no where for this place.

Do you know if it's part of a larger company? Or if another company brought them out? The name doesn't ring a bell. If it's part of a larger company, look under the larger company. If another company brought them out same thing. I had to do this with something on my credit report. Once I found the parent company, it was taken care of in a matter of days.

 

You can also try searching the SEC website and look through documents and see if you can find any Execs that way as well.

Not sure if it has been bought out. They claim to be part of First National Bank and when I google it comes out of Omaha. I am going to keep searching, it's my only hope at this point.
