"dataentrypro.com" is another site where for $50, you get instructions on how to run a PPC campaign using Google Adwords or something similar. They're going to sell you back-end products that will cost a lot more once they've hooked that $50 from you (the "data entry companies" are not good information, from all we've heard.) The form shown on that page to "fill out your ad" is actually one from a spambot... a program that turns your computer into a spammer.
You still have to find a place to place the ads... frankly, no site worth its salt accepts them.
wealthyaffiliates.com -- a site that, for $30/month is going to give you information on how to run (try to act surprised) PPC campaigns using Google Adwords. Their package includes a website... somewhere. Yes, this is the same information that Google and many other sites give out for free.
ultimatewealthpackage.com -- a site that was in Entrepreneur magazine (as a paid ad). When I look at where it's REALLY hosted (http://recommend.zapoedo.com/), it turns out that this is someone's larger site and although the page indicates they're earning bazillions, a walk up the directory tree of the whole website shows that they're trying a lot of programs. Poking around more shows that they've built a site that features a bazillion ppc/affiliate programs they've joined.
So they haven't found one thing that is earning them a lot of money, either.
If someone has unusual or unexpected wealth, there will often be news stories about them. An entrepreneur who's making $300,000/year is certainly one who will be invited to speak at big events and so forth. I don't see any 20-something Mark Warren who vacation in Fiji being featured as a speaker at any large moneymaking seminars.
My bet is that Mr. Warren is very sincere but that he also isn't earning any $300k/year.

PLEASE READ THIS LEGAL NOTICE CAREFULLY BEFORE YOU FILE A LAWSUIT OR EVEN WASTE TIME THINKING ABOUT IT. It has been done before, but never successfully. In fact, the last dodobird who tried it ended up being ordered to pay more than $77,000 in attorney fees ($65,000+ to my attorneys and $12,000+ to my co-defendant's legal advisor).
If your attorney is worth his salt, he's going to tell you that the expense of filing a lawsuit you can't win is a whole lot worse than any "damages" resulting from messages posted on this insignificant little chunk of cyberspace. NEWS FLASH: I didn't just climb down off that ol' turnip truck yesterday. I'm well aware that expressing a negative opinion, relating one's personal experience, and restating provable facts are all legal in this country and do not constitute libel, slander, or defamation -- so you don't want to play games with me, and you sure don't want to start something you aren't prepared to finish. I don't take threats lightly, and I don't accept bribes (or did you call it a "mutually-beneficial arrangement"?). I'll turn you in faster than you can yell, "ARREST ME, I'M SCUM!!" Do yourself a favor and turn your legal team loose in greener pastures. Although we may, from time to time, monitor or review discussions, postings and the like on the Friends In Business (Scams 101) Message Board, we are under no obligation to do so. We are not responsible or liable for any claim arising from the content of any such discussions or postings or for any error, defamation, libel, slander, omission, falsehood, obscenity, pornography, profanity, danger, or inaccuracy contained in any information contained within such locations on the Site. You are prohibited from posting or transmitting any unlawful, threatening, libelous, defamatory, obscene, scandalous, inflammatory, pornographic, or profane materials or any material that could constitute or encourage conduct that would be considered a criminal offense, give rise to civil liability, or otherwise violate any law. You are likewise prohibited from posting any false claims against any company or individual. We will fully cooperate with any law enforcement authorities or court order requesting or directing us to disclose the identity of anyone posting any such information or materials. By posting messages and/or content on the Friends In Business (Scams 101) Message Board, you give permission for Lesley Fountain/Friends In Business/Shoestring Success Publications to display, distribute and use the posting and content for publication, advertising, promotion, excerption or example.

If you cannot accept or agree with the terms of service for this website and discussion board, you are advised not to post on this board. In closing, I would like to remind you once again that it is still legal, in this great country of ours, to express a PERSONAL OPINION, as long as it is presented as opinion and not as fact. And finally, all you scammers out there will do well to remember that TRUTH IS AN ABSOLUTE DEFENSE against charges of libel, defamation, and slander... so if you're operating just a hop, skip, and jump ahead of the law, you might want to think twice before doing anything stupid... (AND SHAME ON YOU!!). |
