ContactThem Pays $4,800 A Month With No Work! Whoopee!

OH HAPPY DAYS ARE HERE! Only in my wildest internet marketing dreams did I ever imagine making $4800, $9,600 heck even $19,200 per month from simply placing some silly little links on my website!  LOL.

WOW, look at the e-mail I just received!  (Your spam checker probably saved you.)

So after having a good solid laugh at this e-mail curiosity got the best of me and off I wandered over to ContactThem to see what this nonsense was all about.

Once you get to the pitch page you find out that ContactThem (according to them) is the fastest growing program since Google Adwords.  Get out, surely you jest! But it gets better.  They also claim they are as viral as Hotmail.  Wow, that’s a pretty modest claim.  =)

Blah, blah, blah…blah, blah, blah…Oh wait a minute, what’s this asterisk?  Ahh, those were potential earnings!  You almost tricked me ContactThem!

Basically this spam and scam product is a lead generating software for, yep you guessed it, MULTI LEVEL MARKETING (MLM), which we all know preys on the new opportunity seeker or affiliate marketer.  This software extracts details out of numerous databases and allows you to do a mass mailing with the gleaned personalized information.  Talk about your laser targeted leads, LOL!

Since I really despise MLM I wanted to see who was responsible for this debacle.  Ahh it makes sense now….it’s Stephan Ducharme the notorious FreeAdGuru who’s claim to fame was repackaging free traffic generating methods as “secrets” almost 10 years ago.

Evidently these spam and scam e-mails have been flying around since late February ’08 when I was over in Iraq so this is probably old news to most.  However, hopefully someone will read this and be saved from the hype and nonsense still flying around this particular “offer” and be more inquisitive on future too-good-to-be-true offers.

Steer clear people and update your spam filters.  😉

Stephen Ralph
