Now I have to call my credit card company every month to dispute the charge. I suppose he hopes everyone who has been sucked in will just give up and pay him $46 forever. It’s this kind of ripoff that will eventually drive Internal Marketing into the ground.

Thanks Mike for pointing out some of the bad behavior going on. If the good guys don’t differentiate themselves from the scammers, they all will lose.

All the best,

It’s not a secret that the IM niche has a number of bad apples, who have put out crap products, with little to no service that sold way better than they were prepared for, and then they stalled on giving refunds. As well as a few deservedly convicted crooks.

And while there might be debate about whether the former were just unprepared and then reacted badly to customer complaints, it is equally valid to argue that all of them were responsible for all their actions. Be careful out there!

I think sometimes that people (and I include myself in this) get used to the idea that we are anonymous online – able to act irrationally or like 5 year olds or like cowards and get away with it – you know, say and do things that we would not do standing in the same room with others, or even in a bar after a few drinks.

All a man has finally, is his integrity. For me, Andy Jenkins spoke volumes about his. Next.

The thing that hits home here is the simple fact that the JV Partners of Arbitrage Conspiracy, whom all gave GLOWING testimonials and endorsements … all had a financial interest in the success of the launch.

When the hype was going on about that product, I personally felt it was just that … hype!

Anyway, all these internet ‘guru’s’ have in my opinion severely tarnished their reputations and I for one, will never buy from them again.

As for the Andy & Brad dispute … don’t you feel that is inevitable when you are earning 8 figures as you quote? Sure beats selling shiny swords, doesn’t it?

Best Wishes!

I am not sure what’s behind some of the forum moderation decisions you’ve mentioned, but there is probably something else besides trying to keep a secret. Markus Allen hijacked a discussion thread to make a personal attack – while posting anonymously.

After that, “new” people decided to start joining the Warrior Forum – all anonymous, all trying to get around the forum rules (new members can’t post links) – and all very likely the same person. If it were my forum, I’d have done the same thing.

Not trying to say that the WF is perfect or that the moderation policies there even make much sense, because most of the time I can’t figure out WTF the WF policies are, by looking at what they actually do.

If the WF is the headquarters of the community – you are right – there’s room for something a little less “wild wild west,” and unbiased. In the WF and ‘most everywhere else, you never know if the news, recommendations, and complaints are from an unbiased source, or from someone with an axe to grind or a few extra pennies in commissions to squeeze out.
