ANNOUNCEMENT: ‘Rebates Aren’t Guaranteed’ To Debut

UPDATED 1:18 P.M. EDT (NOV 2, 2009, U.S.A.)

Now Available

Dear Readers,

On Monday, Nov. 2, we will release an eReport titled, “Rebates Aren’t Guaranteed: The True Story Of Ponzi Deceptions And Myths In The Criminal Autosurf ‘Industry.’”

The PDF-formatted product will be available through e-Junkie.com, with convenient payment via PayPal or major credit card, where available. We are contemplating two types of licenses: One for your own personal use, and one that would permit you to make a limited number of copies for family members.

Our licensing decision isn’t finalized. One of the reasons we’re contemplating a “family license” is that the holiday season is approaching. With the economy not performing as well as many people would like, lots of autosurf predators continue to introduce individuals and families to the so-called “industry.”

We got to thinking that, perhaps, our eReport would make an appropriate Holiday gift for people you believe might be at risk from the predators. We’ll let you know about what licensing decisions we’ve made. In any event, the eReport will be offered at a price that will please most budget-conscious buyers. If we go with a family license, those who purchase it will pay more than those who buy an individual license.

This section is from the introduction: (Italics added.)

INTRODUCTION: ‘Rebates Aren’t Guaranteed’

They want your money. They will lie to you to get it and are willing to draft you into a criminal conspiracy to achieve their ends. If you give it to them, you will become part of the conspiracy. If you later raise your voice in protest, they will belittle you. If belittling does not work, they will blacklist you, question your loyalty and tell you you are not a “team” player. If blacklisting does not work, they will threaten you — perhaps only by implication: They are smart enough not to threaten to break your legs.

But make no mistake about it: Once they have your money — and once they get caught — they will expect you to behave in a certain way. You are dangerous to them if they cannot control what you say. They will imply you are the cause of it all, that you should remain silent.

Welcome to the world of the so-called autosurf “industry.” If you’re already in it, you are in a cesspool of crime and incivility. If you’ve thought about getting in — if an online contact or friend or family member has pitched you on the exciting autosurf “advertising” model — don’t respond to the email. If they call you on the phone, say you are not interested. Listening to the pitch is the first mistake. They know what buttons to push to disarm you, but they cannot succeed if you refuse to listen to the pitch.

Think of them as you would Bernard Madoff, currently serving a 150-year prison sentence for what is believed to have been the world’s largest Ponzi scheme. Autosurf promoters are selling you a Ponzi scheme. They don’t call it that, of course, but that’s what it is — even if they insist it is not.

It is a virtual certainty that they are using a computer script that can be acquired for less than $200 and that they have simply tailored the script and created some website graphics to instill a sense of legitimacy. They want you to think you’re doing business with harmless professionals.

And they want you to think their “advertising” business is noble and wholesome and designed to permit struggling individuals and families finally to make money online. Some of their ads even will begin with the word finally. Perhaps they’ll put it in uppercase:

“FINALLY!!!” they might say, using three exclamation points or more, “an autosurf company as good as . . .”

When caught, they will say that three simple words make the stench of their filthy electronic factory go away. The words are “rebates aren’t guaranteed.”
