"Beth's Money" Christian Mom ad - hilarious

I had to remove the link to the bethsmoney.com site because it leads to a porn page - as some people on here pointed out, apparently they set it up to do that when anyone clicks on their link from the Warrior Forum!!! What the heck???


My original post:
Scroll down to the bottom and read the disclaimers - I don't know why but I find them HILARIOUS - on the top of the sales page it's got the whole song and dance, along with a picture of a woman, saying "I am a Christian stay at home mom of 3"! with all the ridiculous claims of how much income "she" earns" AND her fake conversations with other "bloggers" who are making money from home -

And then the disclaimers openly state that it's all fake!

  • [edited] It's a digusting link, inadvertently linked by Dana --they have a redirect script set up on their website to a sick porn site if you click from the warrior forum.

    Please see this thread for details:

  • Why the porn links????????

    That was sick.

    • The owner of that landing page probably has the Warrior Forum domain set up to redirect to that script, I've seen Dana around for a while and she wouldn't do that on purpose.

      If you copy and paste the link into another browser window it should work if you're interested.

      Just to be clear, do NOT click the link from within the Warrior Forum.
  • Whoa. I cut and pasted the URL for a legitimate site - I truly have no idea how that got there - just removed it.
  • That's interesting that someone would not want people from the Warrior Forum to be able to access their site -

    And especially ironic if they really meant to do that - and their whole sales shtick is that they are pretending to be a Christian Mom!

    This ad is on Yahoo, and all over the place - just Google bethsmoney.com

  • My sincere apologies for that site link, but I had NO idea that would happen! I saw an ad on Yahoo...I clicked it to see what their deal was....I read the sales page and thought it was hilarious, so I cut and pasted the sales pages' URL...

    And apparently when you click on it from the Warrior Forum it redirects to a porn page.

    Very sorry.

    • When someone on a site or sales pages take pains to tell me they are a "Christian" or they are "honest" - I immediately distrust them.

      Bad Dana. I knew you were the devil in disguise.


      P.S. Don't worry it could have happened to anyone. At least it wasn't the Riley mankini. Now that would be upsetting.

  • That could truely cost someone alot of money if you searched a known advertiser on google and then everyone clicked their paid ad ?????


    I am obviously NOT recomending that, just stating my understanding.

    Basically it's a sneaky forced continuity program - the bethsmoney thing is on the scam list on the site I just found, above.
  • [DELETED]
  • Hiding scams behind good Christian ideals is certainly NOT new. The disclaimers about the people being fake and them not talking about any specific program are really funny. So is the terms section where you get billed almost $50 per month and additionally $99 for the program and also you must cancel 14 days before the next bill, blah, blah, blah.... It's easy to see how this person makes money. Yep, crime does pay, but I hope they rot in H3ll someday.

  • These kinds of sites are terrible. This makes me sicker than the porn link would have

    • Me too - because they deliberately rip off the naive and the absolutely desperate, the people who are one step away from foreclosure or homelessness or bankruptcy - and they KNOW they aren't offering real help.

      I was just reading on the workathome truths blog that the picture the "christian mom" uses is from istockphoto - ha!

      I'm disappointed that Yahoo is continuing to run these ads.
  • "You know what you just linked to, right?

    That is SICK and disgusting. It links to a window that CANNOT be closed without shutting down everything, and a video of a guys private part spinning around and around. You are a pig if that was deliberate. Freak."

    You know, Jonathon, given how long I have been on here - you MIGHT want to give me the benefit of the doubt and ASK if I meant to do that.

    And thanks for the infraction.

    In all of the time that I've posted things on the Warrior Forum I've NEVER had that happen to me, but seriously - I wouldn't last long on here if I were the type to deliberately post links to things like that.

    • Hi,

      Ok, sorry about that -- I don't know if you saw what it linked to -- but it was quite disgusting. I was actually just in the process of going to send a PM to that effect. It was horribly disgusting though. As well, I'm not sure how to remove the infraction.

  • Dana,

    Don't worry about it. I'm sure Jonathan was just reacting to the ummm...spinning object on his screen.

    We all know you wouldn't do that on purpose

    I gave you a thanks to offset the infraction Now, quit spamming the forum with porn!

    • What else am I going to do with my free time?

      Yeah, I saw the spinning object too. Thank GOD my kids weren't in the room when I clicked on that link.
  • I don't think you even have to be particularly religious to find the idea of exploiting people's faith for personal gain to be reprehensible- especially with these fake blogs that are popping up everywhere.

    • If You're wondering who's behind that porn redirect, look for a forum with the initials WF. This isn't the first time they have pulled this here. Disgusting, but they seem to think it's a big joke over there. PS - They named this getting d**krolled. Sick

  • This site ticks me off way more than traditional long-form sales letters that many IMers use.

    I think part of it is because while I think there's a lot of hype behind John Reese/Frank Kern/Mike Filsaime/Jeff Walker launches, I sincerely believe that if people actually USE their systems they will increase their success. (The only drawback to buying those products is that most people, myself included, tend to buy info products and NOT use them. But that's the consumer's fault, not the product seller.)

    Sites like Beth's Money are typical of those "work from home making thousands every week stuffing envelope" style of scams that promise false hope and have NO chance of delivering, even if you use them.

    I also HATE made-up conversations with made-up people used as an advertising method because OBVIOUSLY - if this system worked - there'd be real testimonials to use!!!!

    • Amen Sister!! Oh wait... what am I saying? You're the devil right?

    • Nicely put, and that statement can refer to so many sites and products out there.

  • Well, that wasn't what I expected to see on a fine Friday morning.

    The person behind the site is wired up in an interesting (and completely disgusting) way. They have no problem screwing people out of their money, they have no problem faking religious beliefs and taking advantage of others' faith, but somewhere along the lines they decided they needed a disclaimer admitting to their disgusting faults. That is one odd duck.

    On another note, I'm glad I'm not a fan of Depeche Mode because I'll never be able to listen to that song again.

      Not that it's particularly relevant, but you can still listen to Depeche Mode.

      The clip featured the band "Dead Or Alive".

    That's a snapshot of the picture - don't look at my semi-finished website - but anyway, it even has a cute little drawing - isn't that SO adorable?

    I'll give the site creator this - they know how to present a very good, professional looking, convincing sales page. So good and so well designed that I am SURE that they could make lots of money legitimately without scamming people.

    By the way - go google "dickrolling" - I just did - quite educational. And you will see what other forum is being referred to.

    Makes me think twice about clicking on ANY links!!!
  • I saw that site before. Trying to take advantage of naive people thinking this is a "Christian stay at home mom" who's making tons of money :rolleyes: Wonder how many naive people fall for it.

    I also will require 3 references before clicking on any links lol

    PS. Nice site Dana LOL
  • Interesting, if you google it, the first google result is a scam review.
  • It's pretty obvious that the owner of the site doesn't want people from WF or any other IM forum coming to their site. That's a great way to scare off people stealing landing pages.
  • Get a load of this:
    Texas Attorney General

    No dickroll surprises. I promise.

    IN any case, it's not about the same product, but damned close I'd guess. I predict similar cases will arise with the other similar products.

    Edit: I recognized the image in the header on the right. It's available at iStockPhoto in the "healthcare" category, since it's a picture of a nurse with a geriatric patient in a hospital. It's a good image, alright. I used it myself on one of the sites that I built for a healthcare recruiter.

  • LOL @ this:

    This page and associated pages on this site are an advertisement. All persons mentioned on this blog are fictional examples of people who used the promoted products and is for demonstration purposes only. The statements contained herein come from many different people and are not necessarily being made about the specific products discussed.

    This page is just like those **** berry/colon cleanse diet "blogs" and teeth whiteners. Just another angle to make them look real.

    • That site is STILL all over yahoo - it's appalling that they let it stay on there. It's the sleaziest hidden forced continuity deal I've ever seen.
