What's The Biggest Con Job You've Run Into In Your Years Of Marketing?
what were the biggest con jobs you've run into in your years of marketing?
The reason I am asking is because by sharing the con (without naming the
company) we can alert other marketers to what to look out for as well as
what NOT to do to other people.
The worst I ever ran into went like this.
1. Email sent to you saying that John Doe just joined under your downline
and you now have $X in your account.
2. More emails then sent by the dozens with different people now all under
you. Your $X is now quite large. Mind you, you don't ever remember
signing up with this program.
3. An email comes saying that in order to receive these commissions you
have to pay your membership now.
4. Seeing all this money you're getting, you pay your membership fee.
5. You contact the company to find out when you're getting paid.
6. You are told that you won't be receiving THOSE commissions but only
commissions that come in AFTER the time you made your payment.
In other words, they flat out lied to you.
I asked for a refund, was refused and finally went through my credit card
company saying I was defrauded. I sent all the emails and everything else
to them. I eventually got my money back.
This company is no longer in business...surprise, surprise.
Okay, your turn. Hopefully, we'll get a great list of things not to do when
you run a business.
