I signed up for Alex's course a couple of days ago and I have to admit so far he has kept his word on everything he has promised. I have received an email every day with instructional information on how to start this venture. At no time have I been asked to pay for anything and he has actually given instructions not testimonials and hype and why I should buy his course. At NO TIME have I been asked to pay for any of the information that he has sent to date. He does reference an affiliate site often where he does advise of a fee to join but he does not state anywhere in any of the course that it is required to go to that site to make money, he does give information on how to get to sites that are free to take the steps that he is advising to do in his course.
I have been burned in the past by so many of these promised courses, ebooks, etc... that I'm probably just as skeptical if not more than most of the people on this forum, and I will be the first to come here and post if I find that Alex has been less than honest, but at this point he has been 100% forthright and honest and has followed through with everything he has promised!!! So for all you nay sayers out there - so far it has been free so what do you have to lose but an hour or two of your time to just simply read the information and try out what he walks you through?? It really isn't fair to Alex that you bash and ASSUME you know what this is about if you have never tried it and havent bothered to sign up for his course - by the way I have never spoken with him personally, the emails that he sends I can tell are pre-generated and automated when they are sent out - but i would do the same if I was going to have to send out as many emails with the exact same information to hundreds of people every day - but I dont know him personally, i havent talked to him on a personal level through the web, email or any other means at this point so I'm not singing praises for any personal reason.
Message for Alex.... If I do start having questions and dont feel that you are giving straight answers... I wont hesitate to come here and any other forum and report my experience as negative - but I also make the promise that if you are true to your word (as you have been so far) that I also wont hesitate to back you up and to say so

FIB - Scams 101 is maintained by Lesley Fountain with WebBBS 5.12.
| PLEASE READ THIS LEGAL NOTICE CAREFULLY BEFORE YOU FILE A LAWSUIT OR EVEN WASTE TIME THINKING ABOUT IT. It has been done before, but never successfully. In fact, the last dodobird who tried it ended up being ordered to pay more than $77,000 in attorney fees ($65,000+ to my attorneys and $12,000+ to my co-defendant's legal advisor).
If your attorney is worth his salt, he's going to tell you that the expense of filing a lawsuit you can't win is a whole lot worse than any "damages" resulting from messages posted on this insignificant little chunk of cyberspace. NEWS FLASH: I didn't just climb down off that ol' turnip truck yesterday. I'm well aware that expressing a negative opinion, relating one's personal experience, and restating provable facts are all legal in this country and do not constitute libel, slander, or defamation -- so you don't want to play games with me, and you sure don't want to start something you aren't prepared to finish. I don't take threats lightly, and I don't accept bribes (or did you call it a "mutually-beneficial arrangement"?). I'll turn you in faster than you can yell, "ARREST ME, I'M SCUM!!" Do yourself a favor and turn your legal team loose in greener pastures.

In closing, I would like to remind you once again that it is still legal, in this great country of ours, to express a PERSONAL OPINION, as long as it is presented as opinion and not as fact. And finally, all you scammers out there will do well to remember that TRUTH IS AN ABSOLUTE DEFENSE against charges of libel, defamation, and slander... so if you're operating just a hop, skip, and jump ahead of the law, you might want to think twice before doing anything stupid... (AND SHAME ON YOU!!). |
