Hi Guys,

Read this post, found it interesting. Bit out dated now.

But anyhow, Jeremy you sound like a nice guy, and I like your argument. But the way you talk about the religious scams makes me curious how many religious scams you have been caught by. Did you really expect to get those 60 virgins lol

Like marketers aim to get more money by devising new methods, so do Politicians who devise new methods to get votes, and you seem to get more votes by being more socially responsible.

A great balance I see, it sounds like the pollies are winning but. I can see loads of opportunities coming out of this one that can be used my marketers to make more money. No need to be upset about it, just adapt to the environment. After all thats what makes successful marketers successful, isnt it?

In my opinion, the problem is that too many people are surfing around the net with their ears open and their eyes shut. Not literally, but you get my point. That’s why all of these scumbags are getting away with promoting ridiculous ‘business opportunities’ (which I DETESTE) and practically mugging good, upstanding citizens (naive, but good) for their hard earned cash and sleeping like babies every night.

That ‘Google Money Tree” crap is a prime example. I just HATE the sort of people that peddle this garbage.

I agree. It’s important that you only neutrally review products that you haven’t tried yourself. As long as you stick to that golden rule, you’ll be fine.

It’s as simple as this, don’t ever, EVER give out your credit card number over the internet unless you know and trust them completely.

If you can’t pay by a money order, most likely they want to autoship to you over and over and over again.

There is no “FREE, just pay Shipping and Handling”, that always means it’s an autoship program.

If that’s the case, pay only by money order, because they can’t use a money order to bill you over and over again. But guess what, most won’t let you use a money order, or even give you a legitimate mailing address to send them one, hmmm, I wonder why?

Jeremy’s response doesn’t make a lot of sense. There is a difference between promoting an idea that might be mistaken that you wholeheartedly believe in (certain religious beliefs) and promoting something that you know to be a complete lie while intentionally misleading people (certain affiliate marketing practices).

Proving a religion is wrong is subject to opinion, so reasonable people can disagree. No one disagrees about fake blogs being fake.

These marketers prey on desperate people. Desperate people will do anything to achieve their goal, even if the supposed solution isn’t logical – like losing 50 pounds in a month. So just because someone is gullible for believing the advertisement, doesn’t make it ethical to sell the product.

I’m not sure where the gym comment came from, because paying for a gym membership and not using it doesn’t involve deception by the gym, it involves a personal lack of motivation.

I for one am happy the FTC is cracking down.
