Hi my good friends I really want you to read the 7 scams I received before you get conned into investing your hard earned money!
So what's been going on?
Honestly, an entire book could be written on this topic, but seeing as it's now 3:56 a.m. as I write this, I'll cover 7 of the BIGGEST LIES going on literally left and right every single day...
(And I mean, things are really running rampant, almost as if there's a silent contest to see who can have the biggest product launch, but with the quality of HONESTY thrown right out the window)...
SCAM 1. FAKE scarcity.
If a seller tells you there are only 300 copies of a relatively low ticket ($37 - $97) product available, it's probably BUNK.
These same sellers are simultaneously encouraging their affiliates to sell THOUSANDS of copies - and that's exactly what happens.
Now some may consider this acceptable marketing, but I call it deception. If you're telling people that there are only 300 copies available (no 'ifs' 'ands' or 'buts'), guess how many copies you should sell?

SCAM 2. FAKE income claims.
This is one of the BIGGIES. Affiliate marketing (where you make commissions selling other peoples products) is extremely popular, and rightly so. It's an excellent way to make money online.
Sellers know the appeal, so they often TARGET affiliate marketing wanna-be's.
Now, what scammers are doing as they're supposedly showing you "income proof" from using the affiliate system they're pitching to you, is showing you income from the sale of the program itself (NOT from actually *using* the program they're selling).
Don't get me wrong...
Proof of income is a GOOD thing. There are many ways to make money online, and it's nice to see proof that your mentor is successful and has made the money he or she is claiming.
But *not* if you're being intentionally misled as to where and how that income was generated.
Another trick to watch out for: The spend "$10,000 to make "$10,000" trick. That's where a marketer will spend crazy amounts of money on his latest system, just so that he can make sales and therefore be able to show you "proof of income" with his system...
Sure, he made the $10,000. But he also SPENT $10,000 on advertising to get those sales. So he profits zero. And loses zero - except that he now has the valuable so-called proof to get you to buy into his system. (And this approach can be used for false claims of up to $150,000 per month or more.)
...EXPOSED.
SCAM 3. FAKE testimonials and product reviews.
This is unbelievable. Did you know that you can BUY a live video testimonial on sites like Fiverr or Elance for as little as 5 measly bucks?
...Meaning, you can find people willing to make false income claims for ANY product or system, and create totally false testimonials, for a few bucks. Here's one of the little schmucks that I just found on Fiverr as proof:
But what's amazing is that some of the most popular so-called money making programs online are using these fake testimonials AS I WRITE THIS.
One popular program out there has a college kid claiming he made $250,000 in 45 days with the program he was paid $5 to endorse! (They have the fraudulent video testimonial right on their sales page for all unsuspecting eyes to see.)
And as a result buyers are conned into thinking the system works miracles.
...EXPOSED.
SCAM 4. RIDICULOUS income claims.
Fortunately the FTC is cracking down on this, but any program that *guarantees* you can make a RIDICULOUS sum of money in a RIDICULOUS amount of time is another to stay away from.
Businesses are BUILT, not BORN.
It's not to say you can't be making money from day one. Or at least, be on your way to making money. I've created a product from scratch in a matter of hours and made thousands. There are ways.
But to throw out figures like '$45,000 per month' and guarantee people can be making that kind of money with a special piece of software or system in a couple weeks is ALWAYS false.
How many times do you have to be told that there are no magic buttons to making a serious income online? It will always take some work and effort on your part. Always. Always. Always.
So clearly, many of us need to be told to WISE UP and stop making these scammers rich. They're flat out lying to you, for the specific purpose of stealing your money.
...EXPOSED.
SCAM 5. FAKE stories.
I'm seeing sites using compelling stories of how, for example, a lowly (we'll say) 'bus boy', who was struggling and impoverished - barely making ends meet - went from making $8.50 an hour to $87,580 per month using a 'secret loophole' that he stumbled across on Facebook one fine day.
...When in reality, the story was a complete fabrication (a lie), entirely made up to draw you in and make the sale.
I often tell the story of how I went from factory worker to fortune, from laid off to paid off. The difference is, my story is TRUE.
I worked in plastic fabrication at a shop that didn't even have air condition, and also at a well known window company where I sorted and stacked wood all day and came home filled with splinters (awful).
I'm nobody special, and yet I found massive success online.
...EXPOSED.
SCAM 6. The MAGIC GET RICH button.
Many sales letters are using the approach that your success will come instantly, with a 'few clicks of the mouse', the 'push of a button', or the 'flip of a switch'...
Literally flip a switch and the money making traffic and customers will INSTANTLY be flowing in.
...BULL CRAP.
That will *never* happen - unless of course you ALREADY have a massive list like me.
In fact, in most cases, even PAID advertising takes work and knowledge.
Repeat after me:
"There is no magic button and if I'm looking for one, well, I'm just as responsible for making the scammers rich as anybody."
"There is no magic button and if I'm looking for one, well, I'm just as responsible for making the scammers rich as anybody."
"There is no magic button and if I'm looking for one, well, I'm just as responsible for making the scammers rich as anybody."
Ok you get the message ;-)
...EXPOSED.
SCAM 7. FALSE product representation.
Last but not least...
I'm seeing more and more programs that are making claims in their sales letters and presentations that are completely OPPOSITE of what is true when you actually obtain the product.
One example would a recent program claiming to generate effortless, completely automated traffic, when in reality the method took OBVIOUS work by even the most forgiving of standards (as all methods do to some extent).
...EXPOSED.
I'd recommend you bookmark this page right now and use it as your CHECKLIST the next time you are tempted to go for that magic button.
I know the offers sound convincing. I know you are still holding out hope that ONE of them might be true - that maybe, just maybe there really is a magic button out there. Well guess what? That's exactly what the scammers are RELYING ON to get rich.
Don't fall for it.
