You’ve probably seen the emails flying around the Internet stating “There Will Be Blood” haven’t you? And when you read through them you see that there’s this big, well respected marketer who’s so pissed by a student of his who has supposedly ripped off a course of his and is now selling it that he’s going to let you have the same course for only one dollar.

And he implies: “to make me an even better person than this low down skunk who’s ripped off my course I’ll donate that one dollar to charity.”

Now I don’t doubt the dollar has gone to charity but what he doesn’t tell you is that when you donate that dollar and enter your credit card information he is actually capturing you on an autobill for his newsletter!

And in my eyes this sneaky, lowdown trick is just as bad as the guy ’stealing the course’ – if that ever happened.

Now don’t get me wrong, I think a $5000 course for only $1 is good value (that’s what was offered) and I did sign up. I’ve no problem with him trying to upsell a physical copy of the product either but when I received notification that I’d been added to an autobill sequence (by email, AFTER entering my credit card details) I cancelled my subscritpion.

I haven’t even been to the members area and won’t either, the marketer in question has lost all respect from me and many others by the look at it – take a look here for instance.

Apparently he has now modified his page so there is a note on it stating that entering your credit card details will add you to an autobill sequence for his newsletter; but this only after some people pointed out to him that his money grabbing tactic – for that is surely what it was – is against the law in the States.

Yet another big name bites the dust in my eyes – anything seems fair game to ’steal’ the poor punters money these days!

Speak to you soon,
