This service is an active listing of all IPs that have ever been captured for fraud , spamming , illegal activities , scams and other internet related crimes.

The bema MasterSCRUB©
The MasterSCRUB© service is exclusive to bema and it's superb list managing technology. We can take the guess work out of list management and make even some of the dirtiest lists usable again. This process takes your current 1st Party Opt-In Database of subscribers, compares it to a world-wide list of mal-formed addresses (bad addresses), old email addresses (bounces), screaming complaints (screamers), and even spam-traps. bema will also compare the list to our suppression set that has been used and compared by over 100 companies world-wide. When the process is completed, you will have a brand new 1st Party List that you can easily permission again to avoid anymore issues or future issues with your lists, optionally we can also give you back the bad and good addresses as well as the original file. If you would like to apply for the bema MasterSCRUB© Program, please contact us and tell us a bit more about your 1st Party Data and let's see if we can help you. Go to our contact page and fill out the MasterSCRUB© form.
You might still be wondering why should I use bema for my list cleaning needs?
These facts should clear that up for you...
- Our data has been carefully compiled following years of research and careful collection policies from more than 100 of the top e-mail marketing companies in the world.
- Our MasterSCRUB© files are considered to be the most accurate and complete lists of Opt-Outs, SPAM-Traps, Screamers, Complainers, Bouncers and Bad Domains in the industry.
- MasterSCRUB© files are updated up to twelve times daily to maintain maximum accuracy and efficiency.
Just in case you have any doubts, we compared pricing of two of our major competitors scrubbing and list cleaning services, and this is how bema stacks up:

*Introduction into the MasterSCRUB© program requires atleast a 3 month MasterSCRUB© subscription. bema members are waived the 3 month subscription fee into MasterSCRUB© , but non-members must pay $100 for the first 3 months of this subscription, this entitles you to re-scrub of the same list for 3 months with no additional costs. For bema members this subscription is a free-trial and allows the same privileges. Once the subscription ends, or at the start of the subscription members and non-members can elect to a 6 month to a year or more subscription service into the MasterSCRUB© program at $33.00 per month for non-members or $22.00 per month for bema members (Adding additional data is still based on CPM rate and will be billed for any new records added during your subscription with MasterSCRUB©. This subscription allows you to maintain a clean scrub whenever you need to for the length of the subscription, simply request a SCRUB time, or send a SCRUB schedule to our admin@bemanetwork.com with both your MasterSCRUB© ID Code, and your bemaID. If you have multiple lists, be sure to note which list.)
**This is not part of your subscription to MasterSCRUB© services and will be billed separately. If you require database storage beyond re-scrubbing and maintaining the email portions of your list's integrity the $150.00 per month fee will be billed for this service. Also data containing multiple fields takes more space and therefore we need to bill for that usage, this fee would include that service as well. Please be sure and specify whether or not you need us to store your entire database contents or just the emails to scrub when making your purchase.

We can make sure that companies are what they say they are, and if they are members then we know a lot about them and would more than likely suggest you do business with them.
