Don’t hold back, tell us what you really think of good ole Jeff.

Thanks Garry.

Wow…..I am shocked that anyone would fall for that…..I checked out the sites and am simply flabbergasted.

Crying shame.

Oh boy do I have a story for the people reading these comments. This post actually stems very very deep! I feel very entertained with the hate mail that I am now receiving in by the dropped advertiser and I also do feel somewhat sympathetic for his situation.

The advertiser that I dropped my my private ad sales pool is a person who paid $1200 dollars for the program offered by Jeffrey Lant. I just really love how things all fall into place.

On Feb. 8th 2008, I received an email from a sender named, Shon Thompson. It was a sales solicitation email. It was late at night upon receiving the email, so Shon caught me in a rare and playful mood. Simply put, I was bored and decided to play games with him a little bit.

What else can you do with emails like that? Delete them? You might as well have some fun with them right? Anyway here is a copy of the very first email from Shon Thompson (who I now just discovered is the brother of the dropped advertiser).

Keep in mind this, the reason I am so freaking entertained by this whole story as it unfolds is because back on Feb 8th, I was going to use these emails as material for my blog. I never did as I simply lost interest in it. But now, as things are starting to unfold, it makes for a hell of a story that I just can’t pass up! The copies of these emails are actual screen shots:

Now, these emails were made all on Feb 8th, 2008. Since then I have long forgot all about this whole situation until the dropped advertiser in an email today reminded me about this situation.

His emails are found in screen shot form below:

Now having all that said, here are my thoughts.

shlomo matzliach:

You made one of the biggest mistakes you could have made on the Internet by purchasing the $1200 dollar program offered by scam artist, Jeffrey Lant. During the webcast that I watched this afternoon, I noticed that you were in there with me. I saw your screen name and recognized your name as my, or what they called, “My Sponsor”.

I have seen many online scams, but I have to admit that the Jeffrey Lant scam of 2008 is one of the most well put together and organized Internet crimes of the century.

You were promised that Jeffrey Lant and his super large group of moderators and trained experts would do all the work for you. You didn’t have to do nothing. They would do everything for you and because they are so kind and love and care about you so much, they won’t even charge you money when they work a deal for you.

If all that is true, then why have you been paying money to advertise on my blog? You admit that you paid the $1200 dollars for this program that gives you a web site and many tools to promote it.

REALLY!!!! How well has that been working for you? Last I checked I can get a domain name for $5 bucks and get hooked up on web hosting for as little as $2 bucks per month! In fact, there is now cPanel hosting options that offer professional grade web hosting for FREE!!! (Special Thanks To TRUSTED Christine Senter for digging that info up a few weeks ago.

* Click Here / see the second to last paragraph.

Secondly, you mentioned that in part of the $1200 dollar package you have free promotional tools available to help promote and market your website.

REALLY!!!!! How well is that working out for you? Must not be too good since you’re investing more of your own money into private ad sales on popular A-List blogs. If you have such amazing promotional tools that you can use to promote your scam business, then why would you even waste your time and money advertising on my blog?

You got scammed and now you’re working hard towards trying to regain the money lost and in doing so you’re spreading the virus and causing more innocent people to waste their hard earned money. You should call your loss and do the right thing and stop promoting such Internet garbage to other people.

isnt giving away a “free bonus” only if you buy something against the law?

LMFAO @ Google EyePack !!!!!!!

ohh geeze you gave me a good laugh!

Well that wasn’t what was told to me when I logged into the webcast. I was quickly welcomed into the system and told that if I stuck around to listen to the live broadcast that after the show, I would be given my bonus of having 50,000 visits sent to my web site of choice.

I’ll be honest with you, the shit is going to hit the fan on this story. I have already received threating phone calls (all of which have been recorded.. thank God for GrandCentral) if the calls continue coming in, I very well may post them live on my blog and include all the personal information from the people calling me.

If these threating calls keep coming in, lets see how they like to have satellite images of their houses posted on my blog via Google Earth and these MP3’s recorded in GrandCentral turned into their local authorities.

Garry….pure class!

Please, please, please post the threats from the phone calls. I for one think that a little blog campaign about this low life should be put into place. There’s plenty of us that read your blog to take this ‘viral’.

I’m up for it.

I’ve already done my part in taking it viral…

I also Stumbled this post as it is one of the most intriguing I’ve seen on a Make Money Blog in a long while.
I don’t understand why someone would call and threaten you though. I mean, just move on and find other ways to promote the scam if you are that caught up in it.
I for one vote that you post the MP3s for all the hear!!!!!

I’ll tell you this, though, Garry, you should be pissed that you didn’t get the 50,000 visits they promised! LOL

AL

Oh I think they’re holding up to the end of their bargain now. I got tons of hate traffic coming in to the site.

@ Dave,

Back to work on your account Monday morning. I’ll be firing off an email to you in response to the feedback you sent me on Friday.

This is one heck of a story Garry. I know there are a lot of these type of “programs” on the net, but it is everyone’s own way of making money. I do agree with you that this is a worthless $1,200 business program, but I do give him props for coming up with something like this.

-Mike

Mike said, “I do give him props for coming up with something like this.”

Do you give props to bank robbers too, or just people that steal money legally?

OMG, Garry. You are too much.

LOL.

I am going to get more traffic to this blog LOL!!!!

I got a lot already but daddy wants more!

I got some real juicy stuff in my post recent post. Chris Pirillo Shows Porn Live On His Web Site. Check that one out!

Dude,

You’re drooling on your keyboard

Garry, I’ll pass this blog post along to members of my entrepreneur forum as a potential scam warning. I’ll also drop a few blog posts on my moneymaker and affiliate tips blogs, so expect at least three new trackbacks to this article in the next few hours.

Right now, the biggest scam of 2008 has to be Ty Coughlin’s “Reverse Funnel System”. Think of what a funnel looks like reversed - a pyramid. That’s all Ty Coughlin and this Jeffrey Lant are running, cleverly designed pyramid or ponzi schemes.

I’m giving you big props for speaking the truth. As a fellow blogger and promoter, we both now that any hint of negativity can cost us readers but as you have shown, it is more honourable to tell the truth, even when it hurts.

Kudos !!

I can’t believe people fall for this, but then those that do only see false dollar signs in front of their eyes. Maybe they should invest in the Google eyepack. BTW, when is the next version going to be released? I heard that you can configure it to read text in a sexy voice and give virtual blow jobs.

Wow. Dugg.

This is the new “stuff envelopes at home.”

The real problem is that there is a market…a fool and his money and all that.

This post is in position five on Google for Jeffrey Lant. This could get ugly for the man.

The man is an ugly player in this game. He is scamming people out of $1200 bucks daily… actually multiple times daily. He runs his webcast about 3 times per day. When I was on the webcast there were 60 others listening in. At the end of the webcast he had 5 people purchase before I puked and left the room.

Found ya from Randy Brown’s blog.

Man, this is a sick scam. It’s so sad. Many years ago I was ripped off by someone like this. It’s embaressing to say the least.

Thanks for spreading the word about this punk. I may do the same on one of my blogs.

George

Came from Randy Brown’s blog.

This type of scam and the scumbags needs to be shut down. Most of the people
who fall for this tend to be newbies looking for quick money with less/no work.

Thanks for highlighting a well organised scam.

If only making money was this easy

I started a thread on DP. If you add a comment there, it will help to get some backlinks to this and that will get the word out.

wow!!! I can’t believe the poll results… that is freaking funny as heck!

BTW… thanks for writing that post on DP, that was very well written….

Oh geeze, thanks Garry for the information on this guy Jeffrey Lant, good post, with this post maybe people won’t be stupid enough to go his website and “give” him free money. I will post this to my blog and warn people about this guy.

@Muhd,

No need for the double hyperlink in the comments. For one they are nofollow so it doesn’t matter anyway and secondly, people can get to the same place by clicking your name. As far as posting this on your blog, I guess you literally meant that.

Instead of copying, pasting and stealing what I have written here, perhaps you should put things into your own words. I think that is absolutely disrespectful and lazy of you to just outright copy my article word for word and paste it into you blog.

Last thing, people aren’t stupid. Some people are indeed ignorant, but not stupid. Some people want to make money online so bad that they get blinded and are easily vulnerable. People like Jeffrey Lant simply capitalize on that and I don’t think that is right.

Not many people actually want to show you how to make money online, yet they advertise that they do. Their motive is to target your wants and create bogus products that sound appealing and come across as something that can satisfy your hunger.

The same thing happens everywhere in the world, one of the most common places is at the car sales lot.

Excellent article.

I was a dealer myself in World Profit in mid 2007 and this was one of most worse online experiences for me as a result and have lost $1,500 along with the insult added to the injury.

Not only the silver package price itself is a rip-off, but the things inside the package also contain more rip-offs.

Jeffrey Lant is not a valid marketer, so if he thinks he is so good at marketing, why doesn’t he phone the prospects himself to invite them to the webcast rather getting dealers to struggle and get charged for calling? This self-centered guy just cowers in his shabby-looking office wearing T-shirts and long shorts that seems pretty unwashed and all that’s on his mind are dirty incomes and not any consideration for those caught up in the scheme trying to learn how to profit while the longer they stay there, the greater the loss in money.

The company’s prospect system have some email addresses of contacts who actually never did opt in with the company or in other words, not verified. Before I left realising I’ve been had, it was common that free associates in the Live Business center were demanding the company in anger to stop spamming their email boxes. World Profit harvests email addresses, spams and there are no safe lists.

Half the LBC monitors are childish in different ways. One was drunk and wasn’t aware that her microphone was turned off so no one can hear her voice, one was sleeping and another just left their desk leaving their webcam turned on and remained absent for over an hour without warning.

When it comes to positive testimonials, it doesn’t prove anything. Many scams loves to display testimonials to hook in victims.

I’m working on strategies making any cut-downs on this non-legit company’s undeserved income, warning those to never join as well as pulling up my website exposing Jeff Lant’s tyranny along with Jim Carpenter and any other cons damaging the victims.

the advertising program in JL there more like Yahoo chatting room lol, like in chatting room trust is hard to get. thanks for the post it’s a quite useful information for us to save our money to be scammed
