Dear fans and readers,

Beware of a new product doing it's round through social media and several "smart" affiliate marketers trying to get your money, is it a scam, is it a snowball system?

Topic of today:

Affiliate Raid! Another Snowball System?

So in Facebook someone is marketing this product as the secret to get mass email addresses. Hmmm another so called program? What is it all about? Is it legit? Another scam?

So I googled my way around and as this program is just out, not that many reviews are out there, however those which are out there promote all this program. Most of those landing pages are very professional made, they look awesome.

But that raises my eybrows already. I have seen too many, that I can say 9 out of 10 are just new ways to hunt for your money in a professional appealing way. These so called reviews are all based on how it works, well thanks, now we can see throught it!

My Analyses: a Slippery Road!


According to the originators of the program: You receive a bundle of up 10 pieces of software into something called ‘Affiliate RAID’ for 27$ (off course with a timer warning, for a limited time only lol), which you can rebrand yourself if you want and give them away for Free to built your own list.

From what I understood, these are Wordpress plugins (vague described btw, they mention it, so it looks like these are plugins?) lite versions, to help you with marketing, which only can be activated by email and thus you get emails from those users who you give it to for free.

I researched those plugins by name. Why can't I find any review, view, blog post, pictures of the software, which is offered in this program online? If those tools are so special, why can't I find anything online? Hmm smells fishi.

As they say it is a stealthy-and-legal tactic to get their email address.

But wait, if you can't see what tools you get, how will you know those tools are worth it even if you give them away for free. And are they Wordpress conform? No backdoors?

Buy The Upgrade! Resell The Program!


So the tendency of all those so called website reviewers goes to: buy the program. There is no review of the tools, so I asked that person in Facebook and he came up with the excuse he had no time to review it as it came out just yesterday, which isn't correct btw as it came out on the 23th.

He also said you don't have to take it if you feel uncomfortable, yeah that is the easy way out if you feel the fire under your feet burning from uneasy questions!

The company of this program, has a help area and if you look there, youngest entry is 2 years old...

These are all Red Cards I believe.

So then the option plays in to resell this program, for that you need to buy yourself in and pay an upgrade price of 37$ and do like all others, resell and don't answer questions about those tools!

Total spend: 27$ + 37$ = 64$ (they offer a 30 day money back guarantee, wait will they still be there after 30 days?)

The way I see it, it is a kind of snowball system. A smart way to make some big bucks, well for the originators off course who make most out of it.

And as long it spreads, only those who started it and joined up in the very beginning, could make most out of it. And if those tools are crap, have backdoors or other nifty fishy smelling zombies inside, you better start running before your "sold" customers are coming back and eat you!!!

My Verdict: Keep Your Fingers From It!!!

Definitely sounds like a scam to me, thanks for the Info Stephan

Yep, and you are welcome. :0)

I was thinking of purchasing it,but then I thought I will never use these plugins,even if they are free because of 1) Unnecessary plugins slow down your site 2) They really are worthless. Better of writing up a high-quality article,turning it into a PDF and then give it away for free.

Exactly you got the point as well. So as all the info about that is missing, it is definitively a scam.

thanks for the information. There are SO MANY of these out there, and you're right, the only one who get rich are the guys to think them up and suck gullible people in. That's why I've so far in debt. Wasn't astute enough to check them out - - NOT ANY MORE.!

Hi Esther, that sounds horrible, sorry to hear you had the bad experiences. The first program I signed up with was WA, and that is a honest and good program. So I guess my intuition has the right nose to find them. :0)

Anyway a warned person counts for 2 as they say. :0)

I wouldn't trust it. Thanks for the heads up.

My pleasure Linda, exactly don't trust it. :0)

Thanks for keeping us informed!

You are welcome Brenda. :0)

When in doubt... RUN!!
Wendi :)

When seeing or hearing Zombies.... RUN!!
Stefan :)

Run or Fly?

Can zombies fly? :D

I don't know. But, I think if I see a zombie, I will be able to fly! LOL

I saw something flying near my living room, was it you? :))

Lol! You may never know!!

I wouldn't trust it. At most, I'd check back in on it after a couple of months, etc. My guess is it won't be there or the same limited time offer will still be floating around.

No way.

Yeah 99% of those so called limited offers are all fishi.

But it is fun and you can learn when asking the "scammer" all kinds of questions lol :0)

I am sure it will be gone in a month or two...

Thanks for tuning in.
Stefan

Total Scam......From my experience with Teaching Technology for 17yrs; if a company won't talk about what they're actually giving you, or it's extremely vague.......Common sense comes into play, saying "keep away"!!!! Move on, but thank-you so much for the info & for the heads-up!

Cheers!
Lance

Thanks Lance,

As I am not that experienced in online marketing yet, however I will keep up with what I learn on WA, when I see these offers, I look twice and as I am interested to be able to advise my fan and readers so I can inform them about it, this is all a learning curve for me.

So I know already what to ask and what to look for.

I guess you have seen many of those scams?

Cheers!
Stefan

Thanks for the update

My pleasure. :0)

A great analysis Stephan. Thanks for doing all the leg work. I for one am looking no further.

Thank you Roger,

Whenever you see something new, or are looking for affiliate programs, do your research, there are many fishing for your money out there...
