FIB - Scams 101 - Ye Olde Archives
Posted By: David Frey <David@marketingbestpractices.com> In Response To: PAS or Prosperity Automated System (Steve)
Sunday, 3 September 2006, at 4:17 p.m.
Steve,
I do know a little bit about PAS.
In fact, I have a friend who is doing over $100K a month with it.
However, he is a savvy online and offline marketer.
The average person won't make near that.
If you know how to drive qualified traffic to your own
site, and write a good letter, you can make it work well.
(That goes for just any product.)
PAS is not illegal, it's not a scam. 1 up is perfectly
legal (or all of them would have been shut down a long
time ago)
_________________________________________
Here's Why These Programs Get a Bad Rap
_________________________________________
The majority of people are not great marketers. And as
with any product, the people who are successful and make
good money with the program are very good marketers.
So when someone doesn't automatically make money with a
program, people cry foul and call it a scam or illegal.
But the truth is...98% of people who by ANY program never
do anything with it.
It's the ugly truth.
It's the same thing that has plagued the MLM industry...
The majority of people are not good marketers and so they
never go very far in an MLM. That's gives MLM a bad rap.
Is MLM evil?
Of course not. In fact, it's one of the few ways for the
average person to make a little extra money. It's perfectly
legitimate.
I've been a member of one MLM for about 10 months now and
it's one of the best experiences I've ever had in marketing.
But because so many people have failed at it, it has received
a bad rap.
____________________________________
Here's the Real Challenge...
____________________________________
The real challenge for these companies is to build a marketing
system so simple and effective that the average person off the
street can use it and become succeessful.
PAS has tried to do that.
They provide the website, the product (but this admittedly is
shaky part of the program) and a system that will drive traffic
to your site.
I'm not saying that system is perfect, by any means...they've
attempted to do that.
Anyway, I hope this helps.
David Frey

| 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.

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!!). |
