I have recently received an email from Mark Nicholson of TrainPetDog. They were pushing an affiliate program. I posted a blog about it:

ReplyDeleteThank you. I was looking at the website and clicked to get the free training program, they were a waste of time and space and I just deleted them as they came through. As time went on the price of the books and memberships became cheaper and cheaper until today I received an email saying that I would only need to pay shipping.... I decided to do some research as that seemed a bit of a drop ($70 - $4) and came across your site! I wasnt planing on buying the plan as the 'free' one was so pathetic I immediately lost interest, but I can see how people would get sucked in. I have now unsubscribed and guess will wait and see if I still get emails. haha. Thank you for outing people scamming on the internet.
ReplyDeleteI was ripped off a few years back on their parrot secrets site - tried numerous e-mails, phone calls, but never heard anything back. I consider myself pretty knowledgable on internet scams, so I was really angry about this one. I'm shocked that these sites are still in existence! I wonder how wealthy these creeps have become from ripping people off...I wish there was something I could do about this.
ReplyDeleteYes, when we first started researching the scam, we couldn't believe what we were finding. But people who don't have any conscience and boldly act on their evil plans can make it pretty far. Thank you for posting your comments. That will keep our blog and site alive.
