Strawberrynet.com Fraud

Strawberrynet.com fraudulent charges. Today I logged onto my bank account online and found out that I was charged for something through my verified PayPal account. I did not recognize the charges, called my bank and disputed the transaction. Further investigation into my PayPal account history showed unauthorized charges from a payee Strawberrynet.com. I have to say that I have never previously heard of such company or never even thought of buying fragrances (the products they sell) online.

Transaction was immediately disputed with PayPal and reaffirmed that it was cancelled that I would not be charged for said transaction. What the PayPal rep advised is that I change my account password and security questions and that an investigation will take place and I will be notified as to the outcome.

Dealing with PayPal is great and having a verified account is convenient for some purposes, however, it is just as easy to get your e-mail and your password and charge fraudulent transactions on your PayPal account. It is just as easy to pull money from a verified bank account to cover the cost of the fraudulent transaction.

Simple web search showed that Strawberrynet.com has been previously a recipient of money from unauthorized transaction. Apparently Strawberrynet.com is located in Hong Kong and are doing “business” overseas. Be wary when doing business with out-of-country online sellers and especially Strawberrynet.com. It is currently unknown how the fraudulent transaction occurred on my account, but when dealing with this seller, be very cautious.

Attorney Rip Off

Attorneys rip offs are a recent hit thing. Lawyer scams have been recently reported all over the US, however, they are not yet as common as more "traditional" Nigerian and Russian scams. Here is how it works. An attorney receives an e-mail from out of country asking for assistance in some legal or financial matter. An attorney checks the information of the sender, verifies that the contact information is legitimate and transfers money abroad. The check received from the foreign "client" is deposited in the attorney's trust account. Days later the lawyer learns that the check is fake, alas the money is gone and who cashed the attorneys' check is unknown. Read a real e-mail received by many victims recently at attorney scam.

Christian Carter Scam or Not?

Some women who have purchased Christian Carter’s book Catch Him and Keep Him presume that the voluntary singing up for his monthly subscription program is a scam, to which I must rebut. When you buy Catch Him and Keep Him, READ what it says. It has an option to sign up for additional information that is delivered to you monthly. And when you do leave that check mark on, you will receive digital products IN ADDITION to the book. This is not included in the price of the book and the first month I believe is free after which you just have to cancel. As an alternative, you may opt to never receive additional products in which case you will never be charged an additional fee.

If you do, you can cancel Christian Carter at any time. By the way, you can buy it by clicking here or ==> Read More About Catch Him and Keep Him >>>

See, a lot of women are so eager to buy and read Catch Him and Keep Him that they don’t pay attention. Then they receive the additional products and think, cool! A month later their credit cards get charged and they go what the heck is it for? When you buy something online, look what it says. Look what you are paying for. Pay attention if it says, monthly subscription or not. If you contact Christian Carter’s office and explain the situation you will get your refund if you did not intend to purchase additional products, however I strongly urge you to actually read what you are signing before you do.

Christian Carter is a world-leading relationship coach who has millions of subscribers. He didn’t make his name by scamming people, so I really have to rebut this presumption. He has in fact indicated that he in the past has returned people’s money for the subscription when they requested a refund. So, don’t panic. Send him an e-mail and your money will be refunded, not for the book, but for the subscription.

As far as the book goes, you can download it free for seven days. After that you get charged unless you cancel. There are some scummy people who just want to download the book and get their money back. This will backfire on them. Sometimes I just think, what is it really worth to you to get your dating life back in order? Isn’t it worth the twenty-five bucks? Someone has worked hard to put this information together for you. And this is someone’s sole income.

Christian Carter is a relationship coach whose sole income is writing amazing books for women to help them in their dating life. If you want his book free, how would you feel if your boss told you, hey this week you are not getting paid for your job? So, what makes it normal to take the hard earned money from someone who has worked hard to help YOU? Buy the book , swallow the cost and move on. I hope the book helps you and it will. But if you want to be scummy, it will surely backfire. If you’ve enjoyed Christian Carter’s Catch Him and Keep Him, you may also like How To Find a Husband Book

Get More Buyers Review|Michael Rasmussen

If you are in the business of making money online, you’ve probably heard of a highly publicized program called “Get More Buyers” by Michael Rasmussen. I was curious hearing all the hype about Get More Buyers, as well as Michael Rasmussen’s newsletters urging to “buy now won’t last” which is a recognized strategy of someone who has been in the business of making money online for even a short period of time. It works like this, “Buy now at this price or we’ll increase the price tomorrow and when you wake up in the morning it won’t be there.” Or, “You will only see this page once, so act now!” which is total BS because all you need to do to see this page again is copy and save the url and you can see this special “one time offer” every day of your life if you like.

Now, I’ve just started reading Get More Buyers, and I am not offering you to buy Get More Buyers through my ClickBank affiliate link, because I am not a complete idiot and I understand that if I try to sell something to other affiliates, I am wasting my time. Those who may be interested in Michael Rasmussen’s Get More Buyers are perfectly happy using their own affiliate links to buy Get More Buyers for their own use. I really don’t understand why there are so many reviews for this book. Get More Buyers is an expensive ClickBank product. Not to mention, Michael Rasmussen’s success in online marketing and his obvious connections in this industry is what has made Get More Buyers so popular and credible. However, Get More Buyers in my opinion while being a legitimate product has major downside and flawed core.

I will explain this in a moment. See, Michael Rasmussen is an Internet marketer. Thus his product is based on Michael’s knowledge of this narrow niche which is what makes his product completely useless for those who do not target affiliate marketers as their buyers. Michael sells to online marketers. There is nothing that I have read in Get More Buyers so far (I apologize if I am mistaking about this) that teaches how to sell to those who are NOT Internet marketers.

Example: one of the advanced strategies technique is based on merely selling to future potential affiliates for that same exact product you are trying to sell. Enough said, I won’t tell you the exact “secrets”, but based on that, the whole strategy of Get More Buyers is built around the fact that your buyers are in the affiliate marketing and is based on growing your affiliate base from your buyers.

Excuse me, but this does not work for me. I do not sell to other online marketers, thus I cannot even start implementing these strategies, because they actually start with selling to future affiliates. I am sorry to say that but the niche I am in is simply not interested in ever becoming Internet marketers, thus I cannot approach other Internet marketers asking them to buy the “cheap product” I am offering because they are not interested in buying it merely because my product is NOT about how to make money online. By the same token my actual buyers are mostly career people, in their thirties, forties, and fifties who have jobs and are not interested in becoming online marketers. Thus I cannot possibly turn my buyers into promoters of my product.

One last thing, if I wanted to make a use out of Michael’s product, I’d have to become a Make-Money-Online type Internet marketer. And then, of course, Michael is encouraging us to become affiliates for his Get More Buyers book and sell it. I really don’t understand why someone would miss an opportunity to grab an affiliate link to Michael’s book BEFORE buying it. If you are that stupid that you don’t even realize that you should buy through your own affiliate link, then you probably won’t benefit from the contents of the book either. But if you must see the sales page for Get More Buyers, go to GetMoreBuyers.com
