I have received this e-mail from Russel Brunson:
-----------------------------------------------------
Hey ....

Yes, I paid him $1,000 for a 1 hour phone call.

That one hour call resulted in over $50,000 in revenue within 7
days, and is now responsible for almost $100k a WEEK (yes, a week)
consistently in revenues...

Would you like to hear that call? I actually recorded it for my
own personal uses, but am willing to give you a copy...

On one condition -

That same marketer is retiring and GIVING away his famous seminar
for only $1.00.
If you signup for his seminar, I'll send you a copy of the mp3 from
my call.

Just follow these 2 simple steps:

1st - signup for his workshop for $1 here:

hxxp://m219.infusio*nsoft.com/go/mattretires/rb/

2nd - in 30 days I'll get Matt to export a list of everyone who
bought through my link and I'll send you a copy of the mp3!

Yup - it's that easy.

Here's the link again:
hxxp://m219.infusio*nsoft.com/go/mattretires/rb/

Thanks,
Russell Brunson

I did my own research and found that, Matt Bacak is considered to be an expert in leads generation area. So, I've decided to spend a $1 and give him a try. I carefully declined ALL his upsell offers and got this "nice" email as a result of subscribing to "his famous seminar".

Personally, I found this (to subscribe me to something without my explicit consent) DISGUSTING!!!

Please BE WARNED!

wtf???????

Hey Blackwarrior, you are right (that is disgusting)

Joel Comm did the same thing (auto subscription for $29.95 a month
to some crap) when you bought his Adsense guide 4th edition, and
apparently people have been pretty pissed off about it..

is there any chance we could hear that Russel Brunson interview?

To boomboomer: bother to read?
if not - what is the point to post?

Hi TheStickiest,

sure, I'll PM the interview to you, if I'll get it in 30 days, as promised...

And good luck trying to cancel the offer at that email address.. Let us know how that works out for you..

anyone capable of making over 100k a week has better shit (id assume, i know i would) to do then sell voice recording for $1. sorry, epic fail.

Hey blackhatwarrior,

I should have been more explicit to indicate what the 'wtf' was directed at!
It wasn't directed at your post but at the email that you received.

Thnx Blackwarrior. I always hear about Russel Brunson but i dont think i have never seen or heard any of his stuff

Beware of all $1 to try programs. Usually these end very soon in a recurring billing. Adult sites use this trick since G*d knows how many years. The secret of this trick is an almost irresistible offer, with unnoticeable small print about the recurring billing part of the offer. Many of the enrolled clients forget to cancel the recurring billing subscriptions before it happens to see their card charged a few times. Hence this is the essence of the method, suppliers don't even bother to add valuable content to the subscription, but they add some quantity of crap just to say they delivered something.

I was also pissed off about Matt Bacak's content, just I didn't ordered, but I found his link through search engine. And there are so many others selling sh*t, that BHW's shit list wouldn't be enough to post about all of them, but eventually you could make a full portal site about all the sh*t sold for naive people who don't recognize the scam.

I recommend to search first for information through search engines before stuffing self-declared guru's valet. In many cases you can get your desired information for free.

Thats the oldest trick in the book.

Did you read the sales page before you ordered?

It says right where you order you will be billed for his monthly program. There is nothing tricky about this. Just open your eyes and read next time.

I've got response from Matt Bacak and it says that my subscription was canceled.

Well, I think you are right on this -> This is my fault, I HAVE FAILED to read the small print.

Now, I've analyzed and summarized what happen and why I was REALLY pissed off by the guy, and as I just have found I am not alone: hxxp://www.search*tempoblog.com/index.php/beware-the-matt-bacak-retires-internet-scam-its-not-1-its-us2797-per-month/
So, I guess I am not a complete loss

Anyway, there are a lot of $hit around, but certain things I hate with passion. I do not have anything against Matt Bacak, I think he is not a bad guy but I do have a problem with the sales tactics he used. What he actually did, I call: "trust manipulation". Let see steps on the setup:
1. He got recommended
2. Nothing in e-mail says about any subscriptions
3. First think on the page: He convincing you that it is not about money but about going after "bad students" that ripped him off (poor Matt gets sympathy here)
4. It is not even about $1 dollar you pay, Matt will donate it to charity! (WOW, what a great guy!)
5. The radars are off... World is such a wonderful place and I donating $1 dollar to the charity with the Matt's help and getting his wonderful seminar...
6. And at the last, I finding out, that it is about money (We knew it from the beginning, right?)...

THAT kind of setups is what I hate with the passion!
