Scams - Two Updates
The Scams are alive and well!
I wrote earlier about two systems by two well known scammers.
Run, Dont Walk Away From This One! (Posted October 23, 2006)
Remember this one? It detailed the scam being run by Simjon Baxter called More than Traffic. He had a good spiel when he first came out and he duped a lot of people, including yours truly.
I wrote him an email after my post and today I got a reply. Here is his answer.

Very informative? Not at all. Just more of the gobbledegook that Simon has become famous for. I made no changes to the email, this is just exactly as I received it.
Cash Creation - Really? (Posted November 2, 2006)
I wrote about this one more recently and called Sebastian Foss "the man to avoid". I've seen his ads many times, and after doing some online research I decided to stay away from him as he had too many complaints. Well, finally I decided to try his latest offering just to see what he was about.
His boldest claim was "Start earning within 15 minutes or I'll personally refund every single dime of your order!"
Not only was I unable to earn any money - still haven't - I could find very few surveys that would work for a Korean resident. So, I sent him the following email.

Sebastian,
I purchased Cash Creation on 10/29/2007. Here is my order receipt. Order Invoice / ReceiptYour order was processed successfully on Sun Oct 29 2006 at 00:57:14 Order Number : UXXXXX813
According to your website, if I am unable to make money within the first 15 minutes you will refund my money. Start earning within 15 minutes or I'll personally
refund every single dime of your order!
Not only did I not earn any money, I could not even find a survey that would work for me in Korea within the first 15 Consequently I would like my money refunded. Thank you. |
Here is my reply from Sebastian.
Yep, that's right. No response. All I did was quote his terms, directly from his web page, and I got nothing in return.
Save your money, folks. Stay away from people like this.
If you have any programs you are wondering about, let me know and I'll try to review them here. My goal is to save you the pain of losing as much money as I have lost over the past few years.
Thanks for reading.
This is Phoenix Rising, telling it like it is.,
