The individuals online that are involved in these scams are careful to post to online forums such as this one, they recommend these products and spend time endorsing them. All their efforts are based on numbers and effort: - They post a few hundred "recommendations" about a product on forums where they've built up some reputation as a "forum member"
- They setup a few websites to endorse the products
- They add some fake testimonials
- They pay for some advertising on Google so that people are able to find their products and websites
- They continue to post information online using hope tactics
- They sell their products and laugh all the way to the bank, on your back
- They hope you will try many things
- The more you try, the richer they'll get
Sadly, all it takes is a little bit of time to create some hype and get the "word" out there about their "products". |
This forum has become such an important place of support for me that I feel it necessary to come back on and respond to the above, just to say that I'm not one of "those people" referred to in the above comments. I would shudder to think that people here would stop resonding to me and interacting with me because they thought I just came here to build up some "points" so I could then shill for some product or other.
For the record, if you look back, my comment about clay baths was partof a much longer post I made in response to a request another forum member made about what I was doing. That post contained the caveat that I had no idea if any of these things were actually helping me and that I was not recommending them for anybody else; simply that these seemed to be the things that made the most sense to me to try.
And that, I hope, will be the end of this discussion for me
