Crap Like This Pisses Me Off
I'm still getting crap like the stuff below finding it's way to my inbox ... The guy that sent me the following message had me deleted from his email list in no time at all.
I'm just going to paste the email in for you to read.
<strong>She made $387+ in her first 24 hours..</strong>.
Hey,<br /><br />That's right, a newbie made over $387 in her first 24 hours using this...<br />
<br /><code>http://www.************.com/recomends/newbie-method
She was completely new to the Internet and was one of the first to test this simple system that pulls in money from 6 different places at once...
And that's when it started making sense!
I'd find it hard to believe she made $400 from one income source in her first 24 hours... but, when 6 of them are working for you, it only take a little bit of money from each of the six...
That's when it adds up fast...

There are only 20 spots available though, and this email is only going out to over 25,000 people...
If you're still a newbie, and not making any money yet... be quick! Once those 20 spots are gone, I'm sorry... I can't secure any more.

I had 20 invitations back in January and they went very, very fast...
After this beta round, that's it... so be quick if you're even remotely interested!
Thanks & Good Luck,
Gary Ambrose
P.S. Don't worry, there's no technical know-how of any kind required... you don't have to create your own products, and everything is setup, and waiting for you...

There's MORE...
4 upsells ...
The first page had a message that spelt .. blind hope...
Page 2 when trying to exit...

The last time "upsell page just took me straight to clickbank.
There is so much wrong that I don't even know where to start .. but the good thing is ..

Before I joined WA I got stung on a few of these. Thankfully only a few and then I found this wonderful place. It amazes me how many do this to catch people out.
I agree... This is total crap! the thing that troubles me the most is that it makes our work even harder... they deplete people, take their money while they are simply looking for a way to make ends meet, build a business or any number of reasons. It is totally disgusting... Gives Internet Marketing a bad name.
Damn skippy and the really sore point is they are totally targeting newbies with this tactic and pitch.
It's saddens me that these people like to dupe the innocent who are desperately looking for a way to earn money online, and then after purchase, proceed to squeeze the very last drop of money from them...the things that gets these sucked in consumers though is the opportunity to make lots of money with little or no work in no time at all..
Success is the right knowledge and hard work!
People are gullable at instant riches...I'm glad I'm in the right place!
Thanks for sharing!
I just looked at the exhibit again. I can't help but laugh at it! Not funny though that so many people continue to fall for this stuff...
Some attributes of a self-proclaimed guru:
He only has 100, no 75, no 50, no 27, no 14, no 9, no 3, no 1 digital downloads left
His product costs $5,000, no $3,000, no $2,500, no $1,000, no $799, no $599, no 199, , no, NOT EVEN $79, or EVEN $47! You get it for $7 TODAY ONLY! WOW!! [Continued 2 paragraphs down...]
Today's $10,000 product launch is tomorrow's bonus to that day's $10,000 product launch. That's how full of sh*t they are!
The offer closes at midnight tonight - but you can still by it 6 months later What I always called the "Sliding Sense of Urgency Call." Not sure it could be called that, but I've fallen for it and then found it in the sales page two weeks later. It's a stupid running script
I made 6 six figures* in July (* $2,844,630 spent on ad blasts)
Just last year I got caught up with "Mind Secrets Exposed." I had my eye on this since 2004 and finally got the program. It was a disappointment. On top of this, during the buying time, I got caught up in some 12 other very low-priced products from earlier times. I thought, "Well, this is timely" so I got them. They were all upsells with some serious hooks in the bait! When this came out in the wash, I was embarrassed at my own liability to fall for this rubbish!
Next month I was rudely awoken to two $97 charges in my bank account that wiped out my rent money and put me out on the streets for ten days! They were memberships. These were in oceans of texts and with so limited time to get them (hey, they're still available today!) I didn't notice the memberships that I had just signed up to! I never purchase anything without taking the time to read them first!
Yes Tony, doesn't getting emails like those just fry you? They are an insult to intelligence, trying to appeal to your emotions.
That's why I love WA! There's nothing covert at all in here and doesn't have to be! Look at how successful it is .. and the success rate of the membership is far greater than those of these Frank Kerns and Gary Ambroses!
ehe .. cheers for letting everyone know EXACTLY what I was on about .. totally shameful isn't it!
I wonder if there is still only $4 left at this price!
Thanks for sharing Daniel
Hey, just so you know, those are not upsells. Those are exit pop-ups. An upsell would be something they'll try to sell you after you've already purchased there main product. It will be something like
"Hey thanks for buying my crappy product, now if you REALLY WANT TO MAKE MONEY FAST you should also get this another product for $197. This will make it 10 times easier to make money."
And after you buy that $197 product there will probably another upsell
"Hey join our mastermind group (which is full douchey scam artists like me) and learn from the best in the business for only $67 per month. We will bill you automatically every month for the rest of your life so you don't have to worry about spending money on something you don't need at all."
The only thing more scammy than an upsell is an exit pop-up. The pathetic ways that "circles" are trying to earn money these days. It has only gotten worse.
Cheers I was aware - but it's journalism hehe - I bet ya $10 if you click through and buy there's a few upsells waiting for ya!
Every added thing I purchased from that Mind Secrets Exposed was then, an exit pop-up. You are right...every single one... I'd purchase one, another one would pop up. Thanks for the distinction.
I tell you I really got soooo pissed off yesterday when I got that email that I couldn't sleep ... what a donkey for even mailing it..
If you want to get really annoyed, read about how many of the ponzi type business models work these days. They seem to be popping up everywhere ...
That donkey is making millions of dollars and has a huge empire built from this crap. Just know that when this guy falls, it's going to hurt. He can't go on for ever creating hot air sandwiches!
I get theses things in one of my junk email accounts also that's when I do a review on them.
That's a great idea - content handed right to you - plus you save people from getting scammed
I'd say that in principle that's a good idea - but the problem being that these programs are so crap that the traffic isn't worth gunning for. Jacking products is a great idea.. but jack what's H.O.T - or just go through the top 20 products in your niche with a V's post

I've seen a lot of dubious promises before but this takes the cake! Yeah, I've also been stung by a few of those over the years. All I can say is, lesson learned.
We all learn .. in time ;o)
