Before all, I must give credit to Henry D. Thoreau for the title of this post. I’m a big fan ..

But not about that kind of disobedience I wanna rant now here.

Is all about imorality and unethical approach marketing techniques some use it with such a dedication ..

Not long a go (mean on Saturday, May 16, 2009 3:15 AM) I received the following email:

Did you get the confirmation email ? Coz I didn’t .. but instead, I was directly sent to next page …
I mean, yeas, exactly, my email address was added somewhere without confirmation ..

Ok, nevermind, let’s go on …

My oh my … remember ? All was in pre launch … yet what do we have here ?

Hold a minute .. is in pre-launch …

“”My best day ever! Wow! I got 16 sales my first day! After day 2 I was up to 25! For the first time online I’m acutally having fun and making MONEY! 250 downline members in my first month! … “

WOW ! Not yet started and allready made few millionaires …

Nevermind …

Ooooops ! I’ve got email !
No, not the “confirmation required” email. One from the “Founding Affiliate” guy.
Email title :
Valentin – IMPORTANT – CONFIRMATION.

ok .. the site forgot to ask me to confirm, but the refferer didn’t ..

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL !!
of course, no confirmation link .. a reminder I actually didn’t complete the 3 steps … I will tell you why I didn’t complete’em in a second, first read this email :

Now … prelaunch started in 21st of february .. on 16th of may still need some “’till summer” time … sent by one guy, signed by anotherone …

Whatever .. let’s see why I marked the “free” all over in this post (see blue arrows):

Hey .. what is the name of this ? Enforce to have something FREE only if you BUY something else ? No, is not about 7 dollars .. is about the “black hat – dark side of the force” technique.

Let’s cut the long story short :

I don’t say this 100kwinnerscircle.com is not worth or is wrong or nothing against. It may be a good stuff, on a certain momment and after.
I rant against this allmost-scam-like technique to promote something as FREE, including also on same page where you say you MUST PAY in order to continue registration process.

This is very very wrong.

I don’t know neither of the two guys mentioned in this post and I won’t make anything to meet or contact them. For me both of them start form ‘not-trustfull’ status.
Becouse when you say ‘I will give you this free’ and after – during the giving-process – you ask for something in return, that’s like you are giving a birthday-gift to a friend or a relative but ask something in return prior to give it …

And again: is not about 7 dollars. Is a matter of principles, honestity and honour.
