said by Whip5:said by Mzskeptical:I can not entirely say that Anthony or this system is a total scam,
But all you did was go on and explain precisely why it
is a scam.
If you look closer you'll see that the shill was saying complimentary things about the scam system without ever actually saying them, just leaving them open as logical conclusions to be drawn by potential victims.
watch-
Dearest Shill,
Thank you for sharing that touching, heartfelt, honest & down to earth
bullshit shill story.
said by Mzskeptical:I can not entirely say that Anthony or this system is a total scam, ...
Of course you won't call it a complete scam because that would be counterintuitive to the purpose of your story..
Your post is intended to have morrison's scam program look plausible in eyes of prospective victims by making claims that all but the most naive & destitute would find absurd.
The only arguments you present against the scam are arguments that the majority of
desirable prospective victims would not be able to relate to.
Your criticism only applies to people the Scam Masters find a waste of time because of their lack of financial resources.
said by Mzskeptical:but what I will say is that it is misleading at 1st glance.
Of course you'll say that.
What that says is that potential victims should not run away from the scam because their gut is seeing scam at first glance.
DO NOT follow your gut feeling -
Exactly what the Scam Masters want. Look more closely so the Scam Masters have more opportunity to bullshit their way into potential victims money.
Intended Message: but on closer examination the program is not a scam
said by Mzskeptical:At this point i was desperate, out of options and needed cash bad. So I ordered the system for $19.95, thinking that was all I had to pay in order to learn to make money online.
The Scam Masters will tell you that much - nothing earth moving in that statement, it's only purpose is to give the impression that you are bad mouthing the program when in reality you are trying to promote it
said by Mzskeptical:I've never attended one of Anthony's seminars but I did order his system offline. I was watching the infomercial on late night tv as you know, because that's when they usually do there preying and advertise these false shows of HOPE.
Why did you highlight the word 'usually'?
Wait, I highlighted it, not you.
Why did I highlight the word "usually"?
Because that's the keyword in the sentence.
Usually = often but not always because this program is the exception to that rule, try it.
said by Mzskeptical:Initially I was curious and also a bit skeptical,
Hmm, so what on earth did you do to sate your curiosity & quell your skepticism?
said by Mzskeptical:so I sat on the information for a while.
The message with that is to not dismiss the program as just another late night infomercial scam but rather think about it for awhile. Keep it on your mind at least until the sales pitches begin.
said by Mzskeptical:A while later I saw an email in my in box also pertaining to the Anthony system
So now you are referring to morrison's system as the
Anthony systemThat's a cute name. It doesn't carry even half the stigma that "Anthony Morrison program" carries online.
But as Shakespeare noted, what matters is what something is, not what it is called.
said by Mzskeptical:At this point i was desperate, out of options and needed cash bad. So I ordered the system for $19.95, thinking that was all I had to pay in order to learn to make money online.
C'mon, you've seen the scammercial, the requirement for additional funding is disclosed by law & you know that's disclosed.
You're just trying to appear as if your bad mouthing when we both know the reality of that.
Don't call me boy, scammer.
said by Mzskeptical:Once I purchased the system and was given access to the site,
This is pure advertisement for the scam.
Pay only $19.95 to have access to the 'site'.
said by Mzskeptical:I later discovered that I needed more money that I didn't have. You have to pay for website building, advertising, hosting and traffic direction to your site. That's hundreds of dollars extra that you have to pay for this system.
Thats just pure, misleading advertisement for the scam.
It's intended to make a prospective victim believe that
website building, advertising, hosting and traffic direction to their site" only costs hundreds of dollars rather than the thousands of dollars it will cost.
said by Mzskeptical:Correct me if I'm wrong but, it would seem like the people needing this system would be the ones that are financially challenged not the already rich and successful. In an economy like today its hard enough just to get by, with mortgage, car note, utility bills etc.
Ok, you're wrong.
The only people needing this system are the people that are selling it, but thank you for trying to relate to me on a personal level, that's scamming 101
said by Mzskeptical:It's almost impossible to spend this type of money on a system that you would be taking a chance on, so who does that leave in the winning corner.
You've already set the stage portraying yourself as a penniless, destitute person who has spent their last dime on "Anthony's system".
So that leaves everybody else who isn't penniless & destitute.
That's the target of your story, a pretty large group by anyones standards.
said by Mzskeptical:The rich get richer while everyone else just barely get by.
Yeah, blame the man, damn the man. I can relate!
You, me & Anthony's system, together we
can beat the man!
Sign up today!
said by Mzskeptical:There are people that don't have jobs and not because they are lazy and don't want to work. It's because it is almost impossible to find work in this economy.
Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah! You can say that again Sister or Brother, Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
Say something that potential victims can really relate to, it's good for bonding with them.
Ignore the fact that it hasn't anything to do concerning 'Anthony's system, it's just a rallying call, setting the stage.
Setting the stage for what?
said by Mzskeptical:An opportunity like this would be life changing for an average person, im sure of it.
Setting the stage for introducing the thought that 'Anthony's system' would be life changing, buy into Anthonys system to see its true!
The shill is sure of it & that's the truth too.
The problem is they don't actually mention how it would change.
It won't change for the better, that for sure.
said by Mzskeptical:But the fact that they don't tell you on the infomercial or on the web advertisement that you are going to need much more money than $19.95 is very misleading.
yup, be sure to give what looks like criticism of the system immediately after giving it major praise.
It will obfuscate your true intent.
said by Mzskeptical:I was in a terrible situation and I spent my last 19.95 on this system, only to have my hopes torn down.
There really isn't any money to be made by scamming people who spent their last $19.95 on anything so why not talk about
"hopes torn down" to make you appear more sympathetic & credible?
The message here is that the penniless need not apply, you're a waste of the hustles time, but all else do apply, it won't tear down
your hopes & dreams.
said by Mzskeptical:I thought that I would enter the site that same night and begin making money, boy was I stunned. I went from seeing a light at the end of the tunnel to staggering in pitch black darkness again.
'boy' is often used by scammers in their 'stories' in an attempt to sound as down to earth, friendly type of folk that wouldn't consider telling blatant, flat out lies.
said by Mzskeptical: I was DISAPPOINTED. I think they should tell people upfront the complete amount of money they are going to need in order to successfully master this system.
Whoa! That shot the bullshit meter right of of the chart!
What that actually says is that with an investment of hundreds of dollars you can master the system.
Assuming that 'master' = 'profit from', that's pure bullshit.
Anyone see where the top of my bullshit meter landed or is it still airborne?
said by [user=Mzskeptical :]
At least that doesn't build up any false hope
LOL, so that would only leave 'true hope'.
Don't even need the bullshit meter to see past that line.
said by [user=Mzskeptical :and you don't have to waste your time requesting a refund,
Yup, that's right, if you don't like the book you can get a refund!
But that's only about the $19.95 book.
The real money that runs in the thousands of dollars is not part of the books refund system.
But ssh, most victims don't make that distinction before it's too late.
said by [user=Mzskeptical :by the way which you have to do by email because there is no number to reach anyone at that company.
Then you have to wait to have your money deposited back on to your card. This was an unnecessary hassle that I didn't need or could afford. So many other so called guru's are offering this same type system, including a familiar face that resembles another guru. Is it really possible to achieve success overnight?
All meaningless if not for providing more faux criticism & obfuscating the real intent of the story.
said by [user=Mzskeptical :Well I guess i'm back at square one wondering does this system really work, guess I'll never (NO)!!!!!!!!
I'll help you with that answer.
Yes, cunning & original content shilling does work - your lame attempt is a 100% fail though.
