Reply To Spams You Can't Get Rid Of!

Thu, 16 Jul 2009 19:47:24 +0100

Here's a reply letter I use to the (repeat) Spam I get in my mailboxes every day. Feel Free to Copy this and send it out to your hearts content:

Subject: Thank you so much for your wonderful emails:

...To be honest, at first they bothered me a lot; because for some reason.. I've become very popular lately. You see, you aren't the only one, excited to offer me the key to stunning riches and freebies galore! Believe it or not there've been days, when I have over 200 emails in my inbox. from perfect strangers - who say care about me! I must say their (and your) heartfelt promise that, you only have my best interest in mind is truly touching!

Mind you, it took me quite a while to stop quivering with anger, frustration & exhaustion (it was probably around the 1000 mark) when I had my 'light bulb moment'!

I mean - how on earth can I upset with so many people who desperately want to become my new best friend?? And I realized ignoring your messages, must be coming across as -the height of rudeness. Therefore, please accept my heartfelt apologies for ignoring your tenacious attempts to be-friend me. I promise - you've convinced me you care.

So from now on; rest assured - I'll not only read and reply to your wonderful mail - I'll also, return the favor, and send you copies of my new friends offers!!

That way - we can both, not only learn to make - $100,000.00 a week !!!... in no time flat!! --- your heart and spirit will surely feel as blessed as mine, with this outpouring of affection from total strangers!

So until tomorrow... (or later today - if some really special - once in a lifetime offer - never seen before - have to tell you about it now, crosses my path... like the link below... (I mean it's supposed to be, the newest - most mind boggling - deal of all deals!!! - never released to the public till NOW - you must take advantage of. But sshhhh... don't tell anyone else okay? Let's keep this one a secret a little while longer.)

My sincerest regards

Scam using Google to hook you in!

Wed, 01 Jul 2009 19:25:03 +0100

For the last week or so I've been inundated with emails from: Google Money Master. Sound interesting no? At first I ignored them, because I already have a Google Webmaster Account and Adsense account. But yesterday, after getting another one, I took a look at it. There it was - with Google colors etc... saying I could make up to $943.00 a day using Google Money Master and all it would cost me was $1.87 to sign up. I had a strong feeling it was a rip off - but figured okay... let's spend the $1.87 for the 'quick download info pack); and then alarm bells went off - when the only thing they accepted was my credit card info, but I did it anyway. Once I got access to this supposed 'Goldmine' I took the time to read every word on the page; including the small print at the bottom - that said - they were NOT associated with Google in anyway!    They had all kinds of glowing testimonials (typical) with Sign Up for this or that - that I ignored... you'll see it when you download the link below.   And because I read it very carefully - you only get to this part once you've paid the $1.87 - did I see a little clause - at the end of the page that says: By clicking on the continue button - you are agreeing to have your credit card charged a monthly fee of $68.12!
Of course I avoided that button like the plague... and continued onto the $1.87 info section on the next page. I also sent them an on page message saying I wanted confirmation that the only charge I agreed to was; $1.87!! Long story short...   The $1.87 lure was bullshit....   and I figured - I'll take a look at it another time.

This morning (thank God I was home) I get a phone call - to verify - my Google Money Master Agreement! Low and behold... they were a third party caller... and as far as they were concerned I had agreed to this monthly $68.12 debit!!!
The young man speaking with me - was very nice - especially after me loosing it for a couple of minutes... and was kind enough to get his supervisor on the phone - where I told him - that this was about as close to FRAUD as it gets!

Here's this Google Money Master company - with my credit card number... telling these guys to go ahead and charge me for something I had deliberately declined!! The young supervisor then gave me the Google Money Master customer support number: 1-866-756-1774 where some poor schmo, sounding like a robot (poor thing) had to endure my tongue lashing, and finally agreed to email me a cancellation of my order. An order I had never made!   I let them know I was going to report them to Google - but I worry about the number of people they have already scammed out of at least one payment of $68.21 - before they're stopped. Let's imagine - there's an unscrupulous rep - doing the 'confirmation' - and just decides to enter - yes - order confirmed. Who is there to control that?   Yech, people like this make me sick!
I wish I could have copied their page - but they have it encrypted...
More next time....

   (see cancellation below)

This took a precious hour and a half out of my day, I could ill afford to waste!

Save your money and a hell of a lot of time - Don't bother with these...

Tue, 30 Jun 2009 21:13:02 +0100

Here are links to a few of the: "use my program" to get rich with internet marketing.... that I suggest you avoid; unless you want to do one hell of a lot of reading - downloading of more reading materials and lessons etc.. And never, ever ending emails with more never ever ending solicitations for more money - for "new secrets" etc.. The ones listed here are ones I fell for - and some I even signed up with as an affiliate! I spent a bloody fortune on stuff - I haven't even had time to look at! And just about all of it is nothing more than lessons, you can most often get free! Now I don't doubt these guys got rich. But I really doubt I can or you can with this stuff. Then again, who knows. All I know is - as far as I'm concerned - it'll take 6 months to even read the stuff; not to mention the barrage of follow up mail you get from them...
I suggest - especially if you're a newbie like me... wait a year or so.. until you're familiar with building a site and understanding the - new language you'll have to learn. In any event... I much prefer to sell STUFF - products... things people need.. and want! More to follow...

I removed a couple...

Mon, 29 Jun 2009 20:33:22 +0100

I removed a couple of recommendations I had on this page, not that they were bad or scams; but because I've learned -just from using them - that the investment in time - just isn't worth the return. I won't post their names, because they are good for their target market. I'm just not one of them.

What I would like to warn you about again is: Not ONE of the 'Make Easy Money With Our System' blah, blah, blah.... hypes... is worth a damn.   ALL of them ask for either a monthly, or one time fee... that gets you pretty much nowhere!!   What I learned a little too late was.. that if you DO feel you got scammed... demand your money back and sometimes you'll get a refund. Especially if you promise to feature them on your site!

While I'm at it... be very careful about buying and installing "Scan your system for registry problems" software touted all over the place... I bought 2 of them from Windows (Uniblue and RegTool) and both ended up .. closing programs I needed and wanted.   One program they closed!! was my RoboForm (that I CANNOT and do NOT want to live without) and ALL my passwords became inaccessible!!!    Thank God for RoboForm's customer service!! I left a frantic voicemail message and they returned my call within the hour !!   And the Roboform rep spent a good 20 minutes with me on the phone, leading me through my computer programs etc.. to open it.
On the other hand, The RegTool...  people... were pretty useless. They didn't answer any of my questions... until the 4th., email and then only 1 or two of them... and they NEVER addressed ... my problems with their software closing my PROGRAMS!!    From what I can gather; if you have a product in your computer that COMPETES with Windows... Windows, just shuts it down!!   So I not only wasted another $70.00 (this time I have demanded a refund - will let you know how that turns out) but a good portion of my day as well!! And time is money!

Again, I cannot recommend ROBOFORM ENOUGH!   Imagine... they called be back and helped me within the hour!!
Try it out... You'll love it!!   And it's FREE!!
