LESSON #5: How to Avoid Scams
In the previous lesson we talked about a bunch of different ways of making money online. If you go out looking for those money making opportunities, you’ll find that there are literally thousands of them.
The question now is… How do I separate the real opportunities from the scams? Because we all know that the internet is full of scams, right? So lets talk about it…
(Watch this video…)
Main points:
Action steps:
1)If you ARE knowledgeable about scams, don’t let down your guard.
2) If you don’t know about the most common Internet scams, do some research and become an educated consumer
3) Put your wallet away
Soon it will be time to choose one business model and focus on it, but before we can do that, we need to talk about two different pathways… and only you can decide which one is best for you. We’ll talk about those two pathways in the next lesson.
As always, you are welcome to post your questions and comments below.
Have a great day!
Kia ora Eric and others…. Ive been battling online for awhile now and it’s good to see that we agree on so many points,it’s great to see that i started on the right track, so far my only problem is your great lessons dont come fast enough 4me
lol look 4ward to your insight ……All the way from Wee NZ ….L8r
Great to see another fellow kiwi!!! Often feels that since we are not in the States/UK that we a re a long way from the action.
Eric - wonderful tips. Agree with Chris that the lessons don’t seem to be coming fast enough - but wait till next week when I’m back at work and will have heaps to catch up. Loving this all Eric. Thanks all the way from New Zealand!!!
Hi Sonya, i Know how it is to do business in Kiwiland as i live here now for 4 years.
It’s like david versus Goliath.
Keep your hopes up and i keep an eye on other Kwi’s and dutchmen. (I’m Dutch)
HiSonya & Eric. Hey guys dont feel lonely over there in NZ.Im in UK and 60% of all my Business (software)is done in NZ.So hey were watching you guys over there.
Eric is creating high quality very detailed training videos…there is a lot of work that goes into these type of things so please be patient.

Thank God. New Zealanders! I live on the Kapiti Coast in New Zealand and am an absolute Newbie. Loving the course going from scratch (thankyou so much Eric) and am presently wading my way through the Dictionary for Newbies. Woppuls love some regular contact with Kiwis doing this.
Hey Eric! Happy Father’s Day, although it looks like you worked right through it. Great job BTW in producing such quality content:)
Hey Folks..The underground support forum is growing, or if you would just like to read a detailed text summary and review of each one of Eric’s lessons click on my name above to link to the forum… BUT FIRST LEAVE YOUR COMMENTS FOR ERIC HERE at ERIC’S TIPS!
Thanks Again Eric for your continued mentoring:) Peace y Pura Vida! Nico
Take it from someone who has lost THOUSANDS jumping from one “opportunity” to the next. Either put your wallet away (as Eric suggestes), OR RESEARCH an opportunity before you put money into it. Often you’ll find reviews on the search engines that will help you make the decision not to get your wallet out at all, easy!
Thanks Eric, as always you are giving what we need.
Happy Father’s Day and God Bless!
Thanks Eric,
Your no nonsense way of reviewing information (even if it is already known) is refreshing and establishes that level of trust that brings people back again and again… I should know. I just watched Lesson 5 after consuming the last 4 lessons in just one sitting!
I can’t wait for the rest…
Thank you for laying the ground work for a brighter future (not only for myself but for everyone watching these videos).

I’ve been looking at internet businesses for about 6 month and came to conclusions that are exactly what you are talking about in the lessons so far. I particularly like how you explained the difference between a website, online job and online business. I have always had the business view which is why I am at the paralysis analysis stage. When I analyze what I’ve bought from a cost/benefit perspective, most just don’t make sense. I’ve spent some money and have about $50 to show for it, however, the education I’ve received from a few programs (including yours) has been well worth the money. Unfortunately I spent money on about 6 others that were pretty worthless or incomplete. I am so glad I started receiving Eric’s Tips emails. They took me to this site and lessons which will accelerate the learning and the price is right.:) I have no problem waiting until we get further down the road on the lessons before kicking things off. Thanks for your generosity and knowledge. It is greatly appreciated and I believe you will be rewarded significantly for your honesty and integrity. Keep up the good work!
hey Buddy, First lesson is that it’s preferable to keep receipts from stuff you buy of the net. If you got the feeling that they are useless for your purpose you may ask for a full refund. Most sites do that within 30 days, the better ones do it for 3 months or 90 days. I’ve even seen some marketeers they offer a full year money back.
I know it’s hard to follow up on some of these sites, but it might save you at least a coupple of bucks.
Hello to all fellow kiwis on Erics site. My comment- Geert is that some of these refund guarantees are scams too! In some cases they will not honour their word to give you a refund. I asked for a refund From Plimus.com because they wanted me to sign and apply for- an American Tax form.
Take note all Kiwis- you do not have to do this you are NZ citizens and exempt! this is for US Citizens only and people who are US based- and US based companies, registered in the US and actually operating in America.
I told them that It was taking to long to resolve also the product was not what I expected. This tax glitch also meant I could not work online filling out Google
Adwords ads for big companies as a job.
After 4 - 5 approaches for a refund from Plimus.com They replied that because I had not contacted them for a long time they had resolved the issue for me- no refund. I wrote countless tickets and I noticed that there refund ticket system was not operational (or down) I managed to get a message through to them. (6 in total) and their claims I did not reply to them is BS.
Here is the last email I sent (no 6) I was annoyed to say the least.

They replied and gave me a scathing rebuke for using their support@digitaldevelopmentllc.com ticket/refund system? (I replied to that even)
Reply
Philip Randall ORDER REFERENCE # 29346138 Plimus Account ID:16855798 Unfortunately I am forced to use this forum rather than the proper channels for refunds because the system is down. I have sent numerous emails to Plimus and they were never actioned. It is in need of repair. And for the record I still want my money refunded. Philip Randall
As I pointed out earlier they said I did not reply so they resolved the problem for me- no refund! Complete and utter rubbish. They kept side stepping the issue. I promised them I would make it public.
Funnily enough, it was after I sent them this email that their ticket refund system went faulty on me ha! So be warned, DO NOT deal with Plimus.com and or digitaldevelopmentllc.com

Thanks Geert. I always print out my receipts and I did get one refund, after requesting it 3x and threatening to report them to Paypal. My problem with some of these things is I just cannot bring myself to knowingly rip anyone off. If I don’t see value in a product or service, I am not going to sell it. Even though I am in techical sales support (for hardware) I will not recommend something I do not feel will at the very least meet the minimum needs of my customers, if not provide for future needs. I will not compromise on that for my online business. As such, I am grateful Eric seems straight up and has the same ethics I have. To everyone who reads this, we don’t need any more scam artists to sully the online business reputation. Be honest and do your best to provide a great product or service and we’ll all profit from it. Thanks everyone for your comments and suggestions
Hi Eric,
I love your delivery again and your honesty with how you see things within the mine fields that can pop up in the IM arena.
Thanks

Your Lessons emails become my 1st thing to read in my email inbox.
Thanks
Thanks for one important things you are doing: the major points and notes beneath the video. I am not an auditory learner and really don’t like videos in most cases.
Second point is that since I live in rural USA, I have to rely on satellite for high speed internet access. And, believe it or not, we have limited access.
Videos are greedy little things and tend to eat up my bandwidth. Thanks for letting your subscriber have an alternative way to gain the knowledge.
Carol Smith
Web sites that deal with making money online are some of the most risky on all the Internet. Not that every web site is fraudulent, but you’ll find a very high concentration in this arena, because greed makes people do foolish things.
One very important piece of advice is to be *very* careful about who you give your email address to. I’ve seen many, many email addresses of mine abused and misused, including being sold or stolen, unsubscribe requests ignored, sharing without my permission, etc.
I’ve been able to spot and stop such abuses by using domain-specific email addresses, meaning that I provide a unique email address that is specific to the web site that I’m registering at. This has allowed me to sign up without worry, because I then have the ability to stop any unethical emailing myself, without having to hope that the web site owner or the spam filters will do the right thing.
Normally, it would be impractical to create a new email account for each web site at which you register. However, I use a system called Maileable, which makes it very easy to manage countless email addresses without having to jump through hoops.
Another informative lesson. Just kicking back and waiting for what is to come. I guess I have been doing this way too long. I guess that we just need to remember that there is a real business out there for some of us.
Hi Erics,
Your lesson’s today is the core of the Internet Business marketing that we need to be aware of. I’m very afraid to here that, and I hope there will no more scammers around anymore, just to steal somebody’s wealth from the wallet.
Common on,apply Erics tip wisely,equip youself
with fruitful knowledge especially about scams activities.
I think after this I’ve to go to forum to study about the fraudulent scammers. Get some hints to avoid scammers. Thank Erics, for giving tips about scammers.
Naturally goods are supposed to be good through regenerations.
Fauzi, Unfortunately the scammers will not go away anythime soon. It would be so nice if there was a way to get rid of them but there isn’t. The only way to fight back against scammers is for more people to become educated about what to look for etc.
Eric, you are doing a great job. Keep it up. Even though you are covering subjects I already know I still enjoy watching your videos.
Heidi
hey eric, your lessons are great. This is the first thing I look for in my inbox. I have unsubcribed all others, now i realize i just used to waste my time reading them.
Thanks you so much.
Yes. I do agree that there are scammers as I too encountered them before. After that, I am more careful to select what I am investing. Your tips are indeed good for everyone to open their eyes and be alert.

We need to be “inteligence” and “smart” internet savvy user. Don’t rush to “quick rich scheme”. Internet business is not “get rich scheme”. You need to put a lot of effort to be financial freedom from the internet business.
It’s sound to be true for internet business opportunities that saying you can get rich overnight by doing nothing!
Become an educated consumer you should do some research in forum, search engine and blogs before make any decision to buy any stuff in the internet.
The advice :
Don’t “Greedy” to avoid falling into the “Trap” of the “bait” that trying to scam you.
To your success

Good points… I’ve found that my own hastiness and greed typically play a role whenever I get scammed or make a purchase I regret.
Hope that after watching your video,the internet user will become more educated and savvy.
And of course the Online Scam Rate will be “drop” drastically!

Hi Eric thanks for your lessons, I know they will be a lot usefull for most people. I can’t wait for the real deal. Id being doing some promo as an affilliate for others products in order to harvest some comissions. Im learning that this is hard to master, just input “work from home” in a search engine and I got back 5 billion sites ???I figure out how somebody will se my add with such a saturated market. saturated.
as long as there are humans, there are always scammers. To avoid, probably you have to research and research before you buy any business opportunities or look into it.
What do you think about program of Data imput on the internet for difference company.
Most of the ones you see are not really “data input jobs”. They make it look like a work from home job, but they are just selling information about how to do PPC affiliate marketing… usually with the overused clickbank/Adwords combo.
Hi Eric:
Hope you are having a good day. I am about to read lesson #5. You are truely an inspiration. Your tips really help weed out the good from the bad and I Thank you for that.I am looking forward to your tips.
Have a great day Eric,
Gus
So true, Eric, many of the so called SCAMS aren’t really scams, but are presented with too much hyped testimonies and promises that they are sure to disappoint.
Marketers should be honest about their offers, but so many OVERPROMISE.
It’s SAD how many people fall for an offer to to “get rich quick online working a few hours a day” - but that is part of too many sales pitches. And that’s the real shame.
Hi Eric,
Nice one.
So many scams out there,the online lottery winner,asking for money from poor countires,surveys,asking for personal info from banks,etc.
Thanks for giving tips about the negative side too.
Best Wishes,

Thanks for the info. There are so many scams out there. I wished you would have named some of the business opportunities that scammed you.

http://www.deceptiontothenthdegree.com
I have no problem throwing a name out there…..Russell Brunson! Talk about WAY overpromising. As an affiliate, maybe. But DO NOT buy any type of coaching program through dotcomsecrets.com. I’m not being hateful or trying to get revenge. I just don’t want other people making the same $2000 mistake I made. Besides, Eric is providing the same information, in a much more personal way…for free!!!
My reference for SCAMS: “IF I do not get what I am told - is it possible to contact the people that make the promise”?
If the answer is no, I do not deal with the service. If they give me an E-mail or phone number and it does not get back to them before I buy, most likely it is a scam.
If it gets back to them, I ask for information so I can check through BBB or other Orgaizations.
Its always wise to make smart decisions beforehand if at all possible. Unfortunately a lot of the “to good to be true offers” are not members of the BBB. If you were to file a complaint with the BBB they probably wouldn’t even respond. Sometimes we learn things the hard way but education like this is a good starting point
This is awsome Eric. I love your straight-forward style. Unfortunately old habits are hard to break. After being scammed so many times (thousands of dollars times) I keep looking for the let-down. I will continue until you prove me wrong.
Being a “newbie” to making money on the intetnet, I’ve only spent about $600 so far on different.
As Eric mentioned in lesson five, none of them seemed to offer all the information I needed to get a business up and running. And although I haven’t purchased anything too pricey yet, some of the internet offers I looked at were $1000 - $3000 per product.
I am so relieved to hear Eric say - put your wallet away! I’ll gladly do that!
Thank you, Eric, for helping out us newbies!

Subject: RE: 18 ways to make money online! (LESSON #4)
Hi Eric,
I have to say lesson 4 is definetly a great one! However since you’ve been down this path I was wondering if you
could elaborate on some of the methods you mentioned.
Not to long ago I was downsized out of a tech job(blessing in disguise) and am looking to develop a Internet Marketing&Advertising
biz to the brick and mortar community..see my blog site http://www.timothyhansen.com look under pages where it says ebiz consulting.
Going well so far and I’ve actually signed 3 clients within a one month period, however here is my question to you
Since I’m a single dad with two kids fulltime and need to control my time what I’m trying to accomplish is keeping some of the basic bills paid as a freelancer while building up my clientele
My plan is to work as a Freelancer or paid blogger on a project basis and my skill set focuses more on “Monetizing a company website or blog so owners can develop other income streams.. From what I’ve seen on most Freelance sites,,jobs there typically seem to focus more on either Technical or Writing projects.. I really haven’t seen to many that cater to Sales&Marketing or Advertising. Do you know of any Freelance sites that have more of a focus in this skill set.
From what I’ve seen on the paid blogging sites, it seems the income is very small for the work involved and I’ve actually contacted some pay for review blog sites and never heard back from them, so I’m not very confident in this income stream.
I’ve bought products from you before (affiliate video brander) and both your advice and Michael Nicohlas’s have never steered me wrong in the past and you both seem very geniune and down to earth.
Any thoughts are respected and appreciated
Sincererly
Tim Hansen
Tim- I’m not too familiar with which freelancer sites are best for that particular type of work, but the one that comes to mind is http://www.guru.com They have a business consulting category.
If you are using your current site as the main “store front” of your consulting and paid blogger business, I would consider removing all the Adsense ads. When I visited it, it felt a bit like a “typical” made-for-adsense blog. Because you have to think about what your main objective of the site is. Is it to make money from Adsense, or is it to portray a good image to help you get jobs? The two aren’t necessarily mutually exclusive, but it doesn’t seem to be giving the best impression in its current state.
Based on what you’re doing, you may also do well to consider offline marketing. There are plenty of brick and mortar businesses wherever you live, who could use help getting online and/or imporving their online marketing efforts. The key there is to become confident as an internet marketing EXPERT, and then you can approach local businesses and easily close deals by demonstrating how you can improve their bottom line.
Also–as you know– the real money is going to be in your consulting/marketing business, NOT from freelance jobs. So as much as possible I would recommend focusing your energy to get more clients so you can get there faster and not worry about needing extra $$ from freelancing.
And I’m sure no one has bought a product because the price is going up or won’t be available tomorrow or after a certain number sells!
Or can’t really use it now, but will get it for later because it sounds soooo good.

Hi Ted….LOL! I think we have all done that!

Haha thanks man
My husband bought a course on trial from a well known marketer. He said he would not take any money out of his bank for 30 days. My husband decided it was not for him. I cancelled it after 3 weeks. He had taken $97 out and 2 days after I had cancelled took another $108.95 out of my account and then another $97 5 days later. After 3 letters he refunded 2x$97 but not the other $108.95. I have written to him through his support at least a dozen times and he has never replied to any of my letters nor has he refunded or explained the amount taken. Has anyone any ideas what I should do or is it a total loss. His name is Charles Ryder.
Im so sorry that this has happened to you! You can file a complaint with the online BBB. Also if you paid with a credit card I would suggest calling them and having the charge reversed(explain to them what happened)

Sorry to say but I have neen cheated by one I thought was the greatest. Rich Sheflen charged my credit card $397 after I cancelled. I really don’t think I will ever get my money back even tho He said in one of his blogs that he would refund money.I am trusting God to make it right.

Hi Eric
I just wanted to thank you for your articles. I have been involved in computers for a long time and there are a lot of Phishing, Spyware, Malware and other pest in the Internet.
One of the services I really like for Phishing is OpenDNS. You use their DNS servers instead of your providers. You can even protect your children from certain bad websites.
Remember in the end it is still the Internet user that has to be on guard because no service seems to be 100% affective.
Darcy
Hi Darcy,
Could you please explain what you meant by open DNS and DNS servers. Thanks!
Thanks Eric for the info.
Eric is right.There ARE a lot of scammers out there though. There is no limit to how far a con artist will go to take your money. So you need to be on your guard. I 100% agree with him. So, people out there think first before you take an action.

Hi,
Thanks for your lessons and tips. I feel like an ‘insider’. I always read your emails. I started looking at IM a year ago and have amassed many free reports, ebooks, etc., and you can see why I get 175 emails a week from Marketers, but I do like to look through some of them…curiosity. My Bookmarks list is a mile long with IM products I could buy. Gees I didn’t know I could go to Clickbank for alot of them. I signed up for one guru’s program for which I paid a monthly fee of 39.95. I learned little from him because he wanted additional $$$ for every marketing ’sharpshooter’s video his Partners’ put out; then after 2 months all he did was, as an affiliate, promote other people’s products (some of which were already on my list!). I swiftly unsubscribed!
The IM products I don’t buy into are the sales pages where testimonials are given from the Marketer’s Affiliates or Partners where the Affiliates/Partners test/review the product then say the Marketer is crazy for selling you this at this price, or you’re crazy if you don’t buy it…but these people never say if or what their earnings are…because they don’t have any yet. Each review lists their website link; another marketing site. I’ve clicked through many of those links to see what’s going on; observing. Of course I understand it’s business to business selling but I’m looking for their stats, their critique, not their dream, not their gladhanding. Mind you, there are many many times I wanted to buy but my credit card would be maxed out. Since I have a cc balance and because you can use your cc or PayPal etc. for paying PPC and SEO etc., I wonder if there’s a sales pitch out there to “let your credit card pay off your credit card”. I might go for that…maybe:) Best.
Hi there…I couldn’t agree with you more that you need to be very careful when deciding which products to purchase or which ones will work best for you. Unfortunately the road you went down is very similar to the road most of us go down before we understand or know what works or doesn’t work. The good thing though is that we learn from past mistakes and it looks like you have learned from yours. I’ve personally learned the hard way also and I’m sure you will run accross a lot of people here that will state the same. Congratulations for moving on and best of luck with your business ventures
Great Eric!
I think scams are one of the roadblocks on the way and a big test we should pass to get there.
So, you did put this lesson in its right place.
One thing only i want to add for my fellows is:
“learn how to make money and avoid all the ideas of winning money; cause usually the winners end up being the losers”.

Yes, I know the feeling, spent money, attended seminars, bought ready made website, How can you really tell??? what’s real or what’s regurgitated crap… I mean you buy the products, but once you downloaded them or take them home from the seminar Where>>>>>>>>>>>is the support or who to call first. It made sense before you bought the product.. I have learned..I believe support with a real person is by far the most important thing and a legitimate way of doing business. Get you customer to understand…Do you agree???

Eric,
Buyer beware is right. I got scammed early even though I knew in gut that it was too good to be true. However it gave me the incentive to continue and make my money back with a legit online business. I learned a lot and know that I can be successful. My main site is up and more niche sites will follow.
Thanks again
I really appreciate your course. I have been on the Internet for may years. So many of the things you cover are not new to me; yet it is appreciated. I have not been successful on the Internet, except for selling a few items on E bay. Success on the Internet to me seems like a far away land, and impossible journey to the center on the earth. Yet I keep on trying; but spending less. Your course have peeked my interest.
Keep going
Hi, Eric and thanks for all these useful tips which can’t be found elsewhere. After watching lesson 5, I thought it’ll be a good idea to become an affiliate of your programs if you don’t mind. Pls let me know how to go about this if it’s possible. Thanks, Victoria

I kept listening and thinking, where is the punch line? When is he going to say exactly how you can get scammed on the internet. We’ve all heard about the Nigerian scam, the Russian bridal scam, but people who get scammed by trying to make money online?? How?? By purchasing a clickbank product that doesn’t live up to expectations? Return it. E-Bay? What can you really buy on the Internet that’s risky? How can you lose money? Sorry my patience ran out and I stopped listening.
I am interested in getting into the internet business. But I am confronted, not with a product sale or such but with a fairly expensive mentoring offer. it’s expensive but they take you step by step over a 2 month period to lead you into structuring a lucrative internet business.
They called me from the US, I live in Belgium, they talked to me for an hour without real pressure to get in right away. one is Money Montage, the other one is power cash secrets. they seem legitimate in their layout, but how can you be sure, they are talking about €1500.00 ?
Hi Michael, I did buy both Money Montague and Power Cash secrets basic packages and i have been pressurised by them to get the mentoring so I was trying to pull out. i asked for money back from Money Montague and i have not got it yet. Not even a reply
Once again, thanks for the insightful video. I personally don’t feel I have ever been scammed, and quite frankly, I think many people cry scam to often when really they just wanted a free ride. However, I do know they are out there. I think most programs are legitimate. Sometimes it’s not the program that scammed you, but the person that brought you into the program. For example, a sponsor of an mlm program who mislead you. Or an affiliate marketer who used deceptive advertising to get you to click on his or her pay per click ad.
Hi Eric. My name is Lugui and I am from Mexico. Some day ago I discovered your website by an accident and suscribed to your newsletter because I want to start my own online business. The information that you share is worth. As the time went by I have learned that if one uses their common sense, will never be scammed (I’m saying this because I have been scammed).
Yes, Eric is right, use always your common sense. All you have a great day and thanks Eric for sharing your knowledge.
An excellent subject to plug in at this stage of the training. I was scammed by a leading computer manufacturer. The offer was buy a computer interest free for a year. They charged the purchase to my credit card (they needed the card number to prove my good payment history). It sounded too good to be true? A business friend suggested checking with the credit card company. I found out the truth and filed a complaint. The credit card company called the computer company and the charges were reversed the next day. You can never be too careful.
