Strange email

greff · 10-26-2009, 08:35 PM

I received a spam email from a person who calls himself/herself "John Reese" this afternoon. Actually it is a ploy that works as I did open the email.

It is totally laughable. Starts out with

"Exposed, At Last ! A Step By Step Secret To Replace Your Income With The Internet In Just 30 Days or Less, Thanks to eBooks Using My Easy-to-Copy System, So, You Can Dump Your Job And Work From Home On Your Schedule to Make Over $1,73,506 Monthly On AutoPilot !!!"

$1,73,506 a month? Are those decimal points or commas?

Anyway, it is the longest pitch I've ever received, a hugh splash page.

When you think about this, it might be a stroke of genius. After all, I am advertising it on Warrior forum even though I have no affiliation.

Wow.

the URL I received and posted above was just "www . bigplanners . com" - how did it turn into that?

LOL true. But the email did make me laugh, John Reese writing like that (yeah right!) LOL. I received a really funny email too recently, I'm not gonna post it cos this is YOUR thread

Thanks,
Adam

Is there anyway to report that site to FTC or something??? haha that is the most ridiculous thing I have EVER seen!

That first testimonial made me laugh with disgust LoL

Some people just have no sense of ethics. It's truly a shame.

Anyways, I think it's good to put stuff like this on the WF so the newer marketers know what NOT to do and to help them not get sucked into those scams.

greff · 10-26-2009, 08:47 PM

The email came in as a link request with one of my sites.

Not sure what to think of this. Must be a total joke?

That was hilarious, what a random email to receive and unrelated to business at that. You would think that this guy would first use spell check and then secondly apply to the relevant home care agencies to look for the ideal applicant.

I'm fed up with getting the "please I need to deposit my millions in a bank account and I'll give you slice of the proceeds" type email, which is promptly greeted by the delete button before I even finish the first sentence.

Some people.

classifiedpvas · 10-26-2009, 09:00 PM

Lol.... sorry to say I'm sure someone fell for that.

If I ever deleted my emails I'd delete them first! They are quite annoying.

Hi greff,

Other than making it easy for Warriors to click on it is there any other reason that
you made the link live? Why give the nut link juice from the WF?

You could edit the OP and make the link unclickable and most Warriors will know how
to get to the site if they choose.

Just a thought,
Have a Great Day!
Michael
