Armeggedon So Far...

Update

I cannot say it is a quick and easy as was claimed by the ad copy.  I am still working through the training material (perhaps if I wasn't working two jobs it might be an easier task) with no action yet because that is what is recommended until you get through the videos.  I see there is some potential, but I am not convinced it will earn a dollar yet.  The production value of the training material is minimal it equates to a narrated PowerPoint, so far.

I will keep you updated...

Armageddon Paydays Elite Training Package - Special Edition

Seeing as one of my self appointed roles in this universe is discovering and documenting SCAMS.  I figured I would investigate an email I recieved today.

The tag line was: ...Facebook Ads Loophole (don't share)

Hey,
Ever heard of Mo Mulla?

He's been a big player for over 10 years now. And the guy just has a crazy knack for finding flat-out weird ideas to make a lot of cash!

His latest venture involves "gaming" Facebook and hijacking their traffic...

It's perfectly legal and Facebook actually encourages it. But I've never seen anyone scoring traffic quiet like this.

It's crazy.


I'm surprised no one has thought of this yet, but as soon as I'm done with this email I'm going to go put it to use myself.


Check out this video (no opt in required) to see exactly what he's up to.


Pretty freakin' eye opening.

Enjoy your traffic :P


Talk Soon


Mark James


P.S. I feel obligated to tell you this guy built a traffic robot for Facebook - That's just a small glimpse at the changes coming in 2012

The video is smooth enough and the price seems to be inviting. So I decided I would spend a few buck to see if they were telling the truth or if they are attempting to SCAM folk of hard earned money.

I paid my $49 for the ride.

So now the test begins.  Do they deliver as promised or do they seek to have you spend even more...

The first of my rules for detecting a SCAM fired off just as soon as the welcome letter for their system opened up...   The letter starts of  
"Your Nearly There...  BUT FIRST... CAN I GIVE YOU MIY MOST PRFITABLE NICHES?  You’re moments away from access. But before you download it, you owe it to yourself to take a look at this… The Most Complicated Part Of This System Is "Designing" Your Facebook Pages And Blog... You don’t NEED to design them."

Isn't this what he said in the video we were purchasing for only $49???
"But doing so will give you a DRAMATIC boost in conversions. Here are my highest converting fan page and blog template designs…  The best part is you can literally “plug them in”, no tweaks or customizing required, it only takes a moment and you’re ready to go…"
Isn't this what he said in the video we were purchasing for only $49???


"Not only that, I’m giving you 20 proven niches you can dive right into and profit from today.   This takes all guesswork out of the equation."
Isn't this what he said in the video we were purchasing for only $49???  Minus the lanugage of 20 proven niches of course...  Nice bait and switch maneuver here.

So what is the bottom line now?  ONLY $197, but don't worry because:
"...your entire purchase is backed by a 60-day, no questions asked guarantee."

I sure hope that is true, as I suspect I am going to be using that guarentee in 49 days...  If not this just became a $246 post, that I will be writing off as a business expense on next years taxes.

"No thanks. I know it'll save me countless hours of time, the designs will immediately boost my conversion rates AND I'm missing out on over 20 proven niches. I understand I'll never see this page again and that ’s okay with me. With that said, I'd like to download my product."


Don't you just love the beauty of this ad copy.  It screams out SCAM to me.  Yet seeing as my review of this system would be incomplete without this "MOST PRFITABLE " of additions I double checked my miniscule research budget and discovered I can indeed barely afford the additional fee requested.

I paid my $197 for the ride.

I recieved a confirmation page that states:

 Gee so very comforting after having been up sold in such a sneaky underhanded fashion.  I sure hope this is the case.
Transaction Completed!



Thank you for buying “Armageddon Paydays“, you will soon realise you made a wise choice.


However when I click on the "GET ACCESS NOW!" link it sends me to a login page that states So I check my email account for the link they said was sent to me.  The link states I am already confirmed... yet it didn't contain a password to use...  now I am a bit more concerned.  Not to worry I entered my email address and clicked "Forgot Password" that should get me what I need right?  It did.
"Sorry! You do not have access to this content"


Now I watch a 3:34 minute intro that doesn't inspire me at all.
    • Powerful System! (rah rah blah blah)
    • Go through it ALL (PDFs and ebooks... not videos so this will slow down the review some.)
    • Take action (DUH! If you fail to act you fail period!)
    • Support ("If I am free I will help..." - That is a very encouraging statement... NOT!)
    • Further Training (Here it is!!!  I suspect this translates later to spend more money and I will give you more help...)
Okay I am finally in and ready to start learning after over 1/2 an hour spent jumping through the hoops.

I will keep you posted if the system has more value.  Subscribe to my blog to get notifications or check back here tomorrow.  I will have more on the Armageddon PayDays...
