Until very recently I had a comment submission form on the main website (www.BizOppsUK.com). This meant that anyone who wanted to contact me, whether a subscriber or a new visitor, could send me an email without knowing my email address.

It’s never a good idea to put your email address on a website because there are automated bots which trawl the web “harvesting” email addresses – it’s basically where they get the addresses that they spam constantly.

My comment form was a bargain buy, a young Eastern European programmer created it for me for just $4 after I posted a request on www.Rentacoder.com.

However, things turned sour recently when a comment form spammer found my site and started to send messages through the form. The worrying part of it was that he was also trying to use my site as a “relay” – a server of sorts which would help him spam hundreds of email addresses.

Luckily I caught it quickly and disabled the form. This created a problem – people couldn’t email me quickly and easily from the site.

This week I found a great little script which has allowed me to put a new “helpdesk” on the site.

If you want to contact me for any reason – to ask a question, submit a business opportunity review or make a comment on anything about biz opps – you can simply open a “support ticket” and I will be notified via email immediately.

To check it out, go to the following web-page:

BizOppsUK Support Desk

And click on “Submit a support ticket“.

I will aim to answer all queries and questions within 48 hours.

(Let’s see the spammers try and use that to send emails!)

If you are an active trader or investor then it is very likely that you have asked at one point or another:

How can I turn stock market losing trades into winners?

I wish I had a great answer for you but I don’t… sorry!

However, this new web-based seminar (from my good friend and expert trader Adam Hewison) will give you the tools you need to answer that question for yourself:

Watch the Turn Losers into Winners Movie

After scanning the movie, focusing on his main points, and diagnosing his strategy I’ve grasped his simple yet effective concepts.

The ‘Holy Grail of Trading’ may not exist, but Adam has managed to get close and prevent massive losses whilst maximizing gains.

Watch his web based seminar for yourself:

Watch the Turn Losers into Winners Movie

I’d urge any trader or investor to watch this movie.

The seminar is web based, completely complimentary, and has no strings attached.

It’s simply educational material that can help you to trade better in 2007.

Enjoy!

I’ve recently got hold of a huge course by the American marketer, John Reese, called “Traffic Secrets“.

It is massive!

3 huge printed manuals, 12 DVDs and 7 CD-Roms.

To be honest, I’m running out of room and I have too many biz opps manuals and DVD sets which I have pretty much committed to memory…

So, I have decided to list a load on eBay so that someone can get them at a hefty discount and make use of them.

All of the auctions have a starting price of just 99p and all have no reserve.

I’m not sure that I am listing them at the best time of the year but they simply have to go!

Basically, these will all sell, no matter what the end price.

If you are at all interested in Andrew Reynolds, Tim Lowe, Vince Stanzione, Inside Track, Stephen Pierce etc then I recommend you take a look:

Any questions, please let me know.

Happy New Year!

I recently came across a site which is ruthlessly advertised via Google AdWords. Danny’s Scam Review professes to tell you which “work at home” schemes actually work.

The advert is:

I was scammed 37 times
These websites are absolute scams I will
show you the ones that work

So, you click on the link and get taken to dannys-scam-review.com.

Apparently, this “Danny” has gone from earning $70,000 a year to becoming redundant from his 9-5 job.

What he decided to do was try and make money via the web. He bought 37 programs and found that all but 2 were scams (I’d say he’s pretty stupid to get scammed 35 times – or he’s lying…).

Anyway, on his site he shows you 2 programs which are apparently “not scams”. If you pay the money to join these programs, Danny says that you will make money.

He even says about his “No 1 BEST PRODUCT” (ultimatewealthpackage.com):

“The purchase price is a little high at $299 dollars, but look out for the occasional special offer. I bought the package for $299 and the very next day it was being sold for only $99! I didn’t mind because I made it all back anyway! A full refund is also offered if you are not happy with the product which is extremely reassuring”

The truth is that the Ultimate Wealth Package was first launched on or around the 4th March 2006. Back then it was only $46, not the $299 that Danny claims.

In fact, it has never been priced at more than $50.

Danny’s Scam Review website is a complete con. He has taken probably the worst advice from the Rich Jerk eBook and tried to build a business around it.

I signed up for his “newsletter” to find out what his opinion of the top 3 scams was. He said that they were:

“Scam #1 – High Yield Investment Programs
Scam #2 – Envelope Stuffing
Scam #3 – Free Magazine Advertising”

And he’s probably right. The problem is that Danny says:

“Yesterday I made $493.98 with Ultimate Wealth Package…”

However, I signed up for his email newsletter with two different email addresses, a week apart and he said he made the same amount yesterday in both emails.

Danny’s Scam Review is a site which lies.

Whoever is behind it has built it anonymously because they are not willing to admit who they are.

Sign up for his newsletter and you will find that he promotes all kinds of rubbish to try and make a quick buck.

Two he has tried to palm off include “Paid Surveys” and “Type at Home” which is a useless data entry scheme.

Danny even goes so far as to claim in an email:

“… last week I e-mailed you about Paid Survey Program and how my friend Kev James was making a load of cash just filling in surveys on line!

Since I sent out the e-mail telling you about the program over 3,000 of you joined the program. That was a lot, I was impressed! I contact the Survey Company to see how many of you were actually making. In the last 7 days since I sent out the e-mail, Paid Survey Program have paid out OVER $242,000 to us, which is crazy! I PERSONALLY only made $3,000, so the other $239,000 has been made by you! CONGRATULATIONS! (Yes I am a little jealous, but there 1,000 of you, only 1 of me!) “

Don’t believe a word that Danny’s Scam Review tells you, it’s complete rubbish.

Type At Home and Paid Surveys are complete fallacies. Check the index of this blog and you will find posts about these types of schemes. They are all very dubious, certainly not schemes which will make you any money.

I mentioned recently that I had managed to pick up some second-hand material that had been originally issued by Darren Winters’ WIN Investing company.

The package was called “The Path to Financial Freedom” and contained 3 VHS videos and a printed A4 manual of almost 200 pages.

I’ve no idea how the person who sold me these products came across them – they could’ve bought them from WIN Investing or received them after attending a seminar.

I’m going to assume that these materials were given to seminar attendees because the manual is full of hand-written notes.

The 1st video is called “The 5 Steps to Outstanding Investment Success” and runs for about 37 minutes.

It seems to contain footage from one of Darren Winters’ sales pitches – the “free 2.5 hour tutorial” sessions that he runs frequently across the UK.

Darren Winters says:

“I decided I was going to become outstanding in the field of investing… I went to all of the main UK investment seminars… I then went to all the main US investment seminars… In time and money I spent about £100,000… I then tracked down the greatest living investors in the world and I persuaded them to teach me what they knew… Some of my best friends are some of the best traders in the world… “

This video has a copyright date of 2002 on it which would suggest that the footage is from around 2001/2002. Back then, Darren did actually give the tutorials himself but nowadays he employs other people to sell the courses for him.

My own experience of the WIN Investing “free tutorial” is available to read on the main site:

Darren Winters, WIN Investing and the Winters Investment Network

Back to the video, Darren goes through looking at sectors to trade. He calls this section “Understanding the Big Picture”. There are shots of the audience as well as Mr Winters, with around 100 or so attendees in the picture.

After around 15 minutes the video shifts to some footage from a smaller WIN Investing gathering. This appears to be a in a hotel and is probably a 2 day training seminar. There are about 20 attendees and Darren Winters is doing all the teaching.

Darren shows his seminar attendees various graphs which represent his theories on the Economic Cycle. “This doesn’t exist anywhere… I produced it for me…” he tells the ticket holders. Basically, he is showing them his theories concerning the relationship between interest rates, inflation and industrial production.

He then explains how to use free resources on the web for charting individual equities and sectors.

It’s useful information but it isn’t anything ground-breaking.

He then goes on to briefly cover expansion and contraction in financial markets because these can apparently tell you which stocks are going to go up or down. I didn’t understand why all this was important as he didn’t really explain anything.

The video continues for another 20 minutes or so but there isn’t any real sequence to follow. Darren skips from one website to the next showing you where to find EPS values and such but doesn’t explain why you would want to know these values. Perhaps he explains more when you are there, in the room, but the editing is terrible and it’s hard to figure out what conclusion he wants you to take away from the footage.

So, what are the 5 steps to outstanding investment success?

Sorry but after watching this video, I am none the wiser!
