Judge yourself.
Facts:
The link to the site of this guy - who may as well be just a virtual creature - came from an ostensibly innocent email list.
His claims looked fishy, but search engines are really flooded with his stuff - just google him to see! That means he is successful at least in internet marketing himself. I wanted to learn something out of this, registered but provided a one-off bait email address. Exclusively to this resource and nobody else!
A few days later, emails started to come containing a computer program disguised as a document. The program code was typical for a Trojan and other MALWARE. I kept a few weeks "quarantine" pause and then submitted that stuff to an antivirus vendor. They confirmed that the message was NEW MALWARE and issued an update to their antivirus product to neutralize the beast.
Speculations:
That seems to be the way they do their search engine optimization (SEO). They probably infect your machine with their "innovative software", which clicks links on behalf of you, sends messages, blogs, and does whatever else a malicious program can do. Meant watch your credit card numbers and contacts. Beware. This cannot be a fair thing. It is a scam.
