Xstreme Payday Scam

Xstreme Payday Scam

Notice:

I will talk about a program that I bought called Xstreme Payday shortly, but you might notice that this page is on a website about dating and relationship. I did this because this is a website that I already have but I want to get the word out about something that I bought that I think will be of interest to others.

So, if you would like to find out how to get a beautiful date, get back your ex-girlfriend, or to improve your relationship with you wife, you’ve come to the right place.

Now, on with the article…

******

I order Xstreme Payday from an email I got from a guy by the name of Tom Bell. I believe is a product that he was promoting, which came from ClickBank.

If you are thinking about ordering here are something to expect.

The first thing I got was a video that I had to sit and watch. This was pretty long and there was no way I could move time along.

I’m sure you have gotten videos like this. Yes, you can pause it. If you are already familiar with such marketing, you can click the Add to Cart or other such wording they have.

The price was $49 – but don’t buy IF you are interested in this.

Like many other internet marketing techniques they use, you can get it cheaper. What you do is, click away from the page. Then you will be prompted to stay on the page. If you do want to stay on the page, hit Cancel.

This will take you to another offer which is $10 less.

Keep this in mind, even if you are interested in buying the product, as you don’t know if there is a discount following. If there is, still click away and they will come back with another offer. Sometimes it an added bonus, other times it’s the same darn offer. (Yea, what’s the bargain, but that is how they play the game.)

The long-winded video was very vague. It was professionally done, but they lack one important element and that was Testimonials.

Perhaps there is a reason why there was any as there wasn’t any person who bought the course that made money. The promoter of Xstreme Payday, showed how he made 10s of thousands of dollars a day and in the course of one year he made over $3 million. I do believe him, and you may think that I’m gullible but be that as it may.

This guy said that he has over 200,000 people on his mailing list(s). Well, if he does, I can understand how he can make this much money. (He did show live-time viewing of his ClickBank account.)

The problem is, if you have over 200,000 on your email list, I guess you, too, would be able to make millions of dollars.

But let’s get real, must people who are looking to start an online business usually have no list or a very small one at the most. So, you have to start from the ground up building a list, which means: good keywords, SEO (Search Engine Optimization), and to be online for years.

But you have to start somewhere, but with this in mind, don’t expect to make even a couple of thousands of dollars a month.

I bought the $39 Xstreme Payday.

They took me to a members page, but it was another up-sale. All the links I saw went to the secured pay site. I didn’t want this, I just wanted to get one-and-only offer that was talked about on the long-winded video.

I was expecting to see files that I could download but there were none. At this time I was still wondering where I get my products. So, I started to write a letter to Xstreme Paypay. The I tried the page one more time.

At the bottom of the Add to Cart, there were some text that you click. This was not in blue and underline as other clickable text are.

When I clicked on the text I was taken to another sales letter page. The sales letter page is for another product that costs $197. This is for coaching and such for the Xstreme Payday program. I went to the text at the bottom of the page, and was I taken to the download page for my product?

No!

There was another sales letter page.

After the first sales letter page the cost of this additional product/service was $97.

I wonder if customers ever get a rebate if they paid the full price?

I had to go through about 5 sales letter pages before it got the page I wanted. This is like a pestering salesman that will not take “no” for an answer – but on the internet instead. This is so annoying.

By the way, there are three up sells to this program. They are:

•Xtreme Cash

•XP Cash Cloners

•Xtreme Paydays Advanced Version

Finally the page where the “downloads” are.

What did I find?

There was a video that the owner of the program recommends you see first. Then there were “5 phases” of the program. Each one is a video – some only lasting a little over one minute! The total running time of the videos is about 10 minutes. And that is it!

Wow! Whoop-de-doo!

Oh, there was a bonus, too…

The “secret application” that I was told I would get in the original video looks like something that only works when you buy into their web hosting package. There is no install file or set-up file – just graphics and such for the squeeze page you make.

Let me explain…

In the first video that is required to see first they said that you need your own website to use the information in Xstreme Payday. If you don’t have a domain and hosting you get it through them. “Brain Host” or something like that is the name of the company.

If you have a web host and domain name, you can transfer it to their host.

The problem is, it looks like the application that I downloaded only works through their Control Panel. In other words, if you already have a domain name and host, you can’t continue using it. You have to transfer the domain name and start paying for their hosting – which means you will still be paying for your own hosting company unless you cancel it.

If I recall correctly, the domain name (if you don’t have one) is the standard price no matter where you get it (about $10/year). Their hosting cost only about $7/month. They said they will design your website for free.

All fair enough.

However…

The price doesn’t add up. You have to pay for one year of hosting, which, if I recall correctly is about $167. I don’t know where they got that figure as $7/month x 12 months comes to $84. So, why the extra money. Maybe I got this wrong and it’s for two years (which they recommend the length of time in the video.)

They said that this is a $1,800 + value if you were to have this website designed.

Who are they kidding?

They use templates and just change the wording around and add pictures. You could do this in about 10 minutes.

In the start-up video they say this will put some paid advertisement in it. This is probably Google Adsense and pay-per-click ads. The guy in the video says you get paid when someone clicks on it.

Yea, about two cents!

I don’t know about you, but I don’t want some cheesy ad that encourages viewers to click away from my page, what about you?

You make the money on your own products or being an affiliate of ClickBank.

What am I left with?

Some videos that are not worth it with a total running time of about 10 minutes and an application that doesn’t work!

When you are “promised” that you will make big money, and the product is really cheap, the chances are the product will do NOTHING. And if it does something, it will be with the purchase of another, much more expensive product.

The simple rule of thumb to follow is, cheap product a person is offering isn’t worth the price, the chances are other products – which usually costs much more – is not worth the price. I’d rather write off the cost of a small product than trying to get my money back after I spent hundreds of dollars.

Even though I put out $39 (I could have put out $49 if I didn’t click away from the page), and it doesn’t even do a little thing for me, do you think I will put out $197 or even $97? Then, there is the extra hosting package costs to make the app work.

HECK NO!

What about you?

The Concept of Xstreme Payday

The concept of Xstreme Paydays is basically this: You pick a niche you have a passion about. They recommend that most favorite is health, making money and relationships (ha, ha, I have one J). Then you write about that niche and have products from ClickBank on it. Then with signing up with Adsense, you will have ads that are related to your niche (more like the main topic of your niche) that Google program will automatically put on – as they do with anyone who wants their ads on your site.

That’s it in a nutshell.

I assume that if you write your own ebooks, have your own home-study-course and make audio/video CDs, this can be added to your site. Xstreme Payday didn’t say this, but it stands to reason you can do this IF you are inclined to create your own products, too.

The free traffic they talk about is through: social media sites, article directory submissions and back links. This is a long, drawn out process. They say they can speed it up for you, but when you don’t even get $39 worth of info for your money, what makes them think that others will give them more?

The unfortunate thing is, there are too many people who do this. When they don’t make any money, they are off looking for another product and many just give up after spending thousands of dollars.

I hope this saves you spending $39, $49 up to $197.

So, if you like the concept of selling products around your niche and adding some of your own; putting it on your focused website – than go for it!

For your success. Don’t give up!

Only Honest Reviews Here

It’s been awhile since I last posted an entry. I have a lot to write about to catch up.

First I would like to tell you the aim of Current Internet Scams. This is not about talking only bad about all products and then selling you products. There will be good reviews posted here, too.

What a lot of people do who write about Reviews just give the good ones, then they follow up with a pitch to sell you that products. When I report about an internet business, if it’s good, I’ll tell you why. If there are some draw backs to it, I will say that, too. If it’s bad, I’ll report why. When I do write about a scam naturally, there is no profit in it for me, as I won’t be selling it. The reason why I do this is because I believe in honesty. I don’t like losing money and wasting my time, and I know you don’t either. I would like to know about an honest review of a product before I buy it. But if I can’t find one and I learn the hard way, at least you won’t have to learn the hard way, too.

By being honest, it pays in the long run. It pays because I know I’ve done what I could to help others. Also, when there is a good product to report about, there will be people who will be thankful and will order the product through me. So, I do get rewarded monetarily, too.

Many people write Reviews because they are an Affiliate of a product or have a product of their own to sell. So, you will only get “good reviews.” But how can the reviews be good when most of them just signed up to sell someone else’s product? The product can be lousy but if the Review is good and people buy through them, they will still make money.

There is nothing wrong with being an affiliate, but if the sole aim is to sell products, it is not honest. You will not find that here at www.CurrentInternetScams.blogspot.com

With that in mind, I hope that you will find this blog informative and that it saves you time and money.

Wishing you success in your internet business,

Sports Betting Scam or Is It

Betting Scams


You and I know that there are a lot of betting scams out there. In fact, I usually don’t even read them, but one day when I was looking for something else, I came across a site that claims to tell you you can win at sports games.

Not only did it claim you can win, but win 97% of the time. I thought, if he was right at 50% that would be good. But I was still sceptical – UNTIL I read of all the testimonials. They just weren’t testimonials from someone you don’t know. They weren’t testimonials that anyone could type on a computer, and but Joe Smith from Tucson. After all, anyone can fake that. But when I read testimonials from sports professionals themselves, and that they were hand written on paper. That got my attention. This guy, who invented this system of betting, even had the Express mail envelope scanned.

His website went on and on. I’m not asking you to believe me, but at least look at this guy’s page and you make the decision.

Well, I tried this system and it works great. It’s everything that this writer says it is.

Click Here!

You read it over, if I’m wrong, tell me why. I would like to hear from you. But if you win money, kindly tell me, too.

Kind regards,

7 Million Millionaires

That is the estimated total of millionaires in the world. Do you know that there were only 5,000 millionaires 100 years ago. America today has 5 million millionaires. That means you are most likely to be a millionaire in America.

Why the increase?

Why so many in America?

I think the answer for both can be found in situations:

Real estate laws in America

The development of the internet business in America

Real estate

In America we always had creative ways to buy and sell property. You’ve seen some of those infomercial in America and those ‘no money down’ books. People who bought and invested in real estate for 100 years constituted the largest portion of self-made millionaires in America.
In other countries, it has always been hard to get a loan. Even today, many nations like Ecuador, Russia and elsewhere it’s very hard to get a mortgage. Therefore, you can wheel-and-deal.

Internet Business

With the advent of the internet more and more people are becoming millionaires. If you have noticed, America has taken the lead in producing programs whereby you can make a million dollars.

With a computer and an internet connection, you can reach billions of people all over the world. With a credit card or a PayPal system you can buy from anyone anywhere in the world.
With the serious economic downturn you and with loans being harder to get in ameirca and the world over, it’s harder to make money.

There’s a say that goes like this:

Birds got to fly. Fish got to swim. And bubbles got to burst.And that is what we see in the housing bubble now - especially in the US and the UK.

Only the very sharp and clever people can make money in real estate now. So, unless you are one of them, I wouldn’t look for real estate to invest in.

The internet has more potential now than ever.
Take a look at what I have here for your consideration .

Watch 48Things Website

Internet Scams

Dear Friend,

Although this is not an internet scam it is a misleading site that I’ll
be reporting on today.

That’s site is called 43things.com

It’s about a website where people can posts their goals and encourages
others to do so. They have topics that you can post under, such as
relationships, health and business. You can ‘cheer on’ others in the
goals and in their accomplishments.

Sounds good, right?

I also learned about it and I read that it’s a good place to get
traffic.

Well such is not the case.

Before I found out I signed up (it’s free) and posted a blog. The goal
was titled, ‘To make $1,000 a day by the 30th day.’

The next day I check my email and found one from 43Things.com. I was
told that the post violated their rules, one of which is
commercializing.

Really?

Firstly, why don’t they tell you in the first place before posting?
Secondly, how in the hell can you have financial and money goals
without talking about money?

I didn’t even write about anything that showed I was selling something.
All I posted was my goal of making a certain amount of money in a
certain amount of time. I used the ‘dollar sign’ in my post, of course. Aaah haaa!

That’s the big sin.

They have non-intelligent software as you know that does searches for
certain words (or in this case, symbols). It’s like the software that
looks for words such as, ‘free’ or ‘Viagra’ and classifies them as
spam.

This must be the case with this, as I was not promoting anything. Another things wrong with 43Things is ‘What’s wrong with making money
or promoting something?’

There are other sites, including free sites, such as Blogger and Word
Press where you can make money.

Well, we’ll let the market decide. In could be in a short time that
this site (43Things) will be replaced by a similar site that allows
people to put things up like ‘Adsense, Adword, affiliate programs’ etc.Then 43Things will wonder why they went bankrupts. Ha, ha.

Another Interesting Point

This site, 43Things claims that they are a community of ‘helping one
another’. Well, they do, provided if it’s a nice ‘feel fluffy’ sort of
feeling. For in the email I got from them (where I learned about the
other ‘not allowed’ rules) is not goals can be posted that will harm
the person.

Now, what if someone was to post something that says there goal is to
lose 10 pounds in one week. That could be dangerous for him/her. By not
allowing such a post, this person will do it anyway in the privacy of
their own home.

Without anyone being able to comment to her post and tell her it could
be dangerous, how in the hell can this be a helpful community? You
can’t help others if you don’t allow certain posts.

Even if someone is suicidal. Firstly, this is not a goal, so it would
most probably not be posted there. Secondly, even if it was posted,
that person is ‘crying out’ and others will be there to write to that
person.

Perhaps the person who owns this website thinks that such a person
should seek medical, psychological counseling.

Oh, God forbid what a ‘politically incorrect’ thing we do by giving our
advice. What in the hell does this person think happened throughout
history before these so-called experts came along?

Thus, the people who need help and support the most are not allowed to
post.

As far as the ‘money making’ or ‘financial’ goals, you’ll get no help
from 43Things. You will not be able to sell them anything – as if that
was a big ‘sin’.

It’s only a matter of time before someone will come along and make a
huge community site where people can make money.
