Work At Home Truth Store so it’s sort of unbelievable that you think you are “clever” by announcing that the site earns a commission on some of the products it recommends. I was actually one of the FIRST sites to put an affiliate disclosure policy on my site – that was TWO years before the recent FTC disclosure rules went into effect. In other words I was already doing it when almost NOBODY else was.

The reason I don’t promote Surefire Success is because Luke abandoned all of the people who trusted my recommendation of his system. I actually VOLUNTEERED for FREE in his forum. I thought it might be inappropriate to post certain items, because they included private discussions between him and another volunteer forum moderator. Also, I kept trying to give him the benefit of the doubt for a LONG time, but ultimately I realized I should have trusted my gut instinct about how he was handling things.

Here are OTHER things I did for free which took up hundreds of hours of my life (what did YOU do to help people in one of the greatest economic downturns of the past century?).

1) Provided senior litigator Collot Guerard at the Federal Trade Commission with extensive documentation to help shut down the In Deep Services”operation they took down in Operation Shortchange. I spent weeks talking to her and her investigator on the phone and providing documentation by mail and email. I also agreed to testify in the case and signed an affidivat that the FTC prepared to that effect.

2) I spent a crazy amount of time helping people recover money from all kinds of scams FOR FREE – sometimes going so far as to help them talk to their bank or credit card company.

Google Money Tree complaints where I helped an insane number of people get money back and did NOT charge them. Bob, if you had to do what I did there, you would have probably shot yourself in the head. It was a nightmare, but I stuck with it because it was the RIGHT thing to do.

The National Consumer’s League used my write up and warning to post their warning 2 months later:

http://savvyconsumer.wordpress.com/2009/01/13/bitter-fruit-for-consumers-from-the-google-money-tree/

You’ll see their link to the WorkAtHomeTruth blog there. And you’ll notice that my warning went out on 11/18/2008 – 7 MONTHS before the FTC finally shut them down in FTC Vs Infusion Media

Or you might want to check out the “short list” of scams I helped people recover money from here (again WITHOUT charging them).

White Knight SEO Rides In On Broken Horses where you’ll find 36 scams where I helped thousands of people file complaints or recover money WITHOUT charging them. And that’s a SMALL fraction of the write-ups that were done over the past year.

I recently spent TWO WEEKS preparing documentation on a massive cross-border fraud scheme for a federal agent at NO COST to them.

I could go on and on, but I think you get the idea.

I COULD make $10,000/day promoting some crappy scam products that use hidden negative option marketing, but I don’t. Instead I try to keep people AWAY from them. If you think promoting products like Niche Blitzkrieg is “about the money” you apparently don’t know the dirty secrets of how the online world actually operates.

Not only COULD I promote all those scammy products, but I ALSO have the skills to do it in a way where the odds of me getting caught would be virtually ZERO. In cover a few of the methods in an article I posted a while back called Digging Deeper Into Negative Option Marketing Scams

But guess what, Bob. I don’t.

You see, Bob, some of us don’t have to wander around online making snide comments to make ourselves feel good, because we do what is right whether there’s money in it or not.
