Over 100 Billion Screwed

4 replies
McDonalds sign doesn't say Over 100 Billion Screwed, it says Over 100 Billion Served (or whatever the current number is )

Of course McDonalds is speaking of burgers, but the "served" part could apply to customers and clients.

The point is that if you serve people, give them something of value, you'll be rewarded and taken care of too. You'll have a business, a repeat stream of customers. Spammers who try to get away with quick flash in the pan sales here and there are not building anything that they can admire, hold on to, retire on, or leave to anyone. They make a quick buck and its gone.

I've been thinking today of those in marketing that actually care about people and give them real value. Kevin Riley comes quickly to mind as does Willie Crawford, Paul Myers, and Steven Wagenheim. There are many others but you get the idea.

Do we even remember the names of the spammers and the quick buck artists that have come and gone? If we do, are they thought of in fondness ? Do they have something solid that they can leave to their children?

    The spammers don't sign their names to anything. We might remember them if they did.

    There is one spammer that I remember from this forum, and one quick buck artist that was made famous by Mike Filsaime that I remember. I wonder what they are doing now?

    those scammers are clearly remembered by the people they served....e....screwed over.

    and unfortunately, it makes it more difficult for legit marketers to do business with those people afterwards - 'cause they are wary of being scammed again

    you see them in many industries - not only IM - or online - whee they come in, and mess thigs up, closing doors for other people after them

    The trustworthy marketers end up in my real email account after I confirm
    their honesty. Everyone at first is in my fake email client.
    I am sure you can guess which account is almost full.
