I have purchased an online book called "Millions at the Table", because it promised to reveal the secrets of success in netmarketing, but it is just a scam and a rip off. I've been studying netmarketing for a couple of months now and there wasn't a single 'secret' that the book revealed to me, it starts by telling you how 98% of the Work From Home programs that are sold in the internet are all lies and scams and goes on to produce exactly that.
His first advice is to insist that you sell your own product, not resell somebody else's, telling you to think of a subject that interests you or a hobby that you have, and write about it, thus selecting 'a niche' of the market, instead of having to advertise it to the whole world, and then try to sell it, promoting it as something exclusive that will make your niche's audience interested and buy it, proceeding to explain how to rip people off by selling them this info that you wrote, that cost you to prepare perhaps 20 cents and charge them $19.95, which is exactly what the author has done, he had tried for years and was deeply in debt and just went on failing, until he thought that he would sell everything that he had learnt (that hasn't succeeded), and he realized that people would pay a LOT of money for something that they thought would be worth it for them, regardless of how much was invested in preparing it.
So he prepared a fancier version and started selling it for $197 and people still bought it, so he prepared a 'Deluxe' version, which included a couple of videos or CDs and a whole kit and for that he charges $692, even though it cost him only a few dollars, and he tells how he experimented and tried selling his $197 version for $692 and people still bought it, and the worst thing of all is that he ends his book by not following his own advice and suggesting you resell all his 'three' products.
The fact that poor, innocent people who knew nothing about the internet or how to work in it, paid a lot of money for what was advertised as something that held secrets that guaranteed their success, and perhaps even followed his advice, just continuing perpetrating his scam and making it grow, whether consciously or not, doesn't make it right.
I searched doublepayback.com and out came a whole list of articles about what a scam this is, one article was written by a buyer of the $692 version, who returned it and for 6 months tried and couldn't get his money back, though there is a 100% money back guarantee, and only after he reported the product and the author (s) - Jason Ryan Isaksen and Charles Ashmore (it is advertised and seems to be written by one person, that person being Jason Ryan Isaksen, but at the end of the book, both names are written, and there are plenty of complaints about Charles Ashmore too), to the BBB, he finally got his money back.
I too have requested a refund, though already after the first purchase, which cost $19.95, and promised there that I would file a complaint too.
