“Slime Marketing” Is Alive & Well … Rockefeller Style

So, I’m helping out Leslie Rohde with a project and he needed some info on ClickBank…and it has been years since I’ve done any affiliate marketing with ClickBank so when I got an email from Eric Rockefeller about an affiliate guide for ClickBank, I jumped on it.

I wasn’t expecting much, but anything at this point would have been a plus.

So, I placed my order and was directed to this URL: http://www.ericrockefeller.com/rsdownload/rockstar_download20192_0.html

No big deal. That’s even happened to me. Mistakes happen. I sent a brief note to Eric asking for the correct URL … and it’s late so I planned on hearing from him in the morning.

I check my email and there it was … slime city …

So, their “system” caught my fraud attempt at a price that was TOO low. And now I will be reported to PayPal…

In other words, nothing happened that was fraud, this was their “pre-planned” marketing strategy to make people think that there was a problem with the eBook being sold at too low of a price.

Give me a break. Do we look this stupid? I’ll chalk up the $27.00 as lost money and move on. Don’t trust marketers that revert to these types of tactics. There are better people to associate with.

Needless to say, I will “pass” on their game. I won’t be replying to the email with a pathetic “I didn’t commit any fraud, I bought it, here is my receipt, please give me the priceless eBook for $27.00 that is supposed to change my life….”

Blah.
