Shocking, I can’t believe THIS guy is going to
the bigwig lunch
Today’s Adventure in the Biz Opp Jungle:
‘In which Charlie gets miffed about one of the names appearing at the direct mail lunch, lays out the prior record of Patrick Anderson, and shows you where to get trading tips from ordinary people!’
Hi,
So on Wednesday’s I launched a blistering attack on the New World Order.
(If you missed it, you’ll see it on my website at
www.bizoppjungle.com under “Have You Ever Been Caught By This Trap?”)
In today’s email, I want to start with The Old Biz Opp Order...
I can’t believe this guy is going to the bigwigs lunch
One of my readers passed me information about a lunch coming up for the direct response marketing industry.
Loads of bigwigs in there. Names that you’d probably recognise from your own adventures in the Biz Opp Jungle...
Andrew Reynolds, Stuart Goldsmith, Tim Lowe, John and Mike Harrison, Ted Nicholas, Adam Dowdes of AD Associates , Bernard Davies, Dave Gibson, Bob Rothman, Guy Cohen...
Most of these guys are fine and dandy with me. But what made me stop in my tracks was the name ‘AD Associates’.
I’m not surprised they’re famed in the industry for making money. But from the many, MANY emails I get from my subscribers, they should be infamous for their dodgy methods.
These promoters of betting systems have garnered the following criticisms...
“After not hearing from them for a month after returning the product I called them, they told me a refund would take 90 days. After the 90 days elapsed I rang AD Associates who handle the system for pro-select and take the payments. I rang a number of times and each time was told my message would be passed on to Pro-Select but I still have not heard back.”
“Tell your readers to stay clear of these people.”
“Sent it back after 90 days as the "guarantee" said, but despite emails over months... no refund... lost out there!
“I bought heir gambling systems which turned out to be a load of rubbish. I returned them as they quite clearly stated that there was an unconditional guarantee. Not only did I not get a refund, they retained the goods as well.”
“Always good sales stuff but I have last complete faith in them and their tactics!”
So here’s what I think
It’s totally fine to mess up delivery from time to time. Accidents happen. As long as you clear up the mess so nobody loses out.
It’s okay to sell something that some people don’t like very much... if you give the money back when they complain.
And it’s expected that you’ll occasionally miss an email or two, or forget to answer a query.
But in AD’s case, they seem to have caused blanket outrage by not giving refunds, as promised even when demanded point blank.
My verdict is that their guarantees are not to be trusted. I don’t care if they’re appearing at posh lunches. It’s no skin off my nose that they’re hobnobbing with the privileged hobnobbing elite of hobnobbers UK.
Facts is facts.
There, another rant over
I’m not sure what’s wrong with me this year. I think having a kid is making me a militant Mr Angry. I get positively frothy at the mouth when I think of people getting ripped off. Whether it’s speed cameras, the latest banking bail out, or a “take your money and run” biz opps.
If you’ve been a long term reader of The Biz Opp Jungle, you’re probably laughing.
Because do you remember me a few years ago? I was an unmarried Jack the lad. I used to tell you about my escapades at music festivals, DJing in pubs, and hanging about with my mates in the Highlands, smoking fags and cutting up deer.
Now look at me! I’m an enraged Dad, furiously hammering at my computer keys in my Victorian flat!
Ah well. Who cares if my hair s going grey? Let’s get onto the next item of the day....
Who is Patrick Anderson?
This month I’ve had quite a few emails asking me about Patrick Anderson. He’s got a new product out, published by NiScape Ltd. And yes, I’ve got it on order.
However, a lot of the emails are simply asking whether he’s real, and whether I’ve heard of him before.
And the answer is yes, I’ve covered him a few times.
You can read two reviews of his previous opps here:
And also here:
You can also use the search facility on my website to look up anyone else I may have talked about over the past 3 years. (Yes, in a few months this service will be three years old!)
And while I’m on the subject....
How to get tip offs from real seekers – all on my website!
If you’re still shopping around, the forum on the Biz Opp Jungle website. may be worth checking out.
For example, I recommended the FTSE Wealth Builder at the end of last year. Lots of people have since wanted to know if it’s still going well, what the feedback is like and so on and so forth.
To recap, Wealth Builder is s system that helps you spread bet the FTSE 100 index. Whether it goes down or up, it doesn't matter. You can make pile up decent small gains every day.
Anyway, there’s been some good feedback on this on the forum.
User ‘Sal’says“This is a very simple system, and it works if you follow it to the letter. Saying that i made a small amendment to the system which seems to be working fine, but i will keep monitoring carefully. “
Sal also adds this piece of advice:
“The best times to trade this are between 8am - 5pm, but don’t overtrade. If you have made two consecutive winning trades, go for a third if you want. If it wins call it a day, if it loses call it a day.”
Some other readers are wondering whether you can do the trades as early as 7 or 7.30 am.
Unfortunately, you’ll need to be able to make your trades at 8am, that’s at the earliest.
However most of Neil Leitch’s trades take about 15 minutes. This means you can place your trade and get on with something else.
There are more details here:
Good stuff. Enjoy the rest of the weekend and I’ll parachute back into your inbox again on Wednesday.
Later alligator
