Wall of Shame – The Spammers Of The Net
This wall here is dedicated to the thousands of emails I get and some are just crazy bad.
Who in their right mind would say “oK!”
This is NOT how you build a business especially if your trying your hand online.
PLEASE!
What do these people get from me? I click the SPAM button.
I’ll start it off here and by all means if you have your own post it as a comment.

Here’s an Email I received the other day. It made me laugh.
Count the spelling mistakes. lol
“I’ve got to tell you about the HOTTEST home
business opportunity that is blaszing across the net
like wildfire. EVERYONE is joining this one…
and for good reason!
Every single day a HUGE pool of MONEY builds up
as more and more people pile in. That pool of money is then paid
out on a first come, first served basis until it’s gone.
Those who get in first get a bigger share. Those who get in first
AND jump ahead of those you didn’t act fast enough yesterday
get an even BIGGER share!
I’ve never seen anyting like this… but what I have seen is without
doing ANYTHING but joining my commission balance is growing
fast and I’m making money!
There is a tremendous opportunity behind sharing this
thing and I think …
You should check it out now!”

Hello
I get all kinds of weird e-mail. That kind of spam, and the kind that says my Uncle in a country I have never heard of has left me a large sum of money – but I must send a release fee. (?)

Hi Lawrence,
These were really funny. Thanks for the laugh.

add to the stash!
lol. dude this is hilarious, I should do this too – might just have to copy you here, genius.
hahah, your welcome!
lmfao, shut up these are real???? I’m going to start reading my spam box for a good laugh. Maybe I’ll find one that has a real person sending it that is willing to change their ridiculousness.
this is as legit as it comes. there are some great “gems” in my inbox. I gotta remember to not hit spam before I rip it and post it here.
Hey Lawrence,
This is a great idea!
I don’t even open all of the ones that I get, but I think one of the driving factors in all of this are tools like LeadNet Pro. I thought it was an interesting idea when I first heard about it – and still think it has some great uses – but now I get so many messages from people offering to “help me make billions of dollars per minute on autopilot with no products, selling, cash, or experience necessary!”.
*Presses 9 to be removed*
It’s crazy how 99% of people hate spammy behavior like your highlighting but result to the same BS when they try to market something like their business.
Thanks for sharing, man!

initially i was pretty pissed but after so many spam hits I know it’s that they can’t help themselves. I’ve found some really cool people behind those software tools that really just needed a mentor. If you will notice not many people who have no value and ONLY rely on tools quickly meet their business end. It’s sad because they were probably cool people but just misguided in their business direction.
Here’s one that somebody actually posted on my Facebook profile…
“dude even thought we had a big fall out and he will probly tell you how horriably i am but check out J*** L***** AT MY********LEADS.COM YOU WILL NOT BE DISSAPOINTED FOR OVER 20 YEARS I SEEN HIM MAKE PEOPLE MILLLIONS OF DOLLARS AND THATS THE TRUTH
HE KNOW OWNES AND OPERAATES HI OWN MILLION DOLLAR MLM COMPANY
YOU CONTACT HIM AND TELL HIM WHO SENT YOU AND WHAT I TOLD YOU AND YOU WILL BE GOING OUT OF YOUR WHY TO YHANK ME”
First of all, this guy doesn’t know how to spell, and second, nobody likes to get “puked on” their Facebook wall. I left it on there for others to view and hopefully they will see the humor in it as I did.
i would remove ANY wall post that has a link. it’s free publicity from them. but all those man. it’s just sad. it’s only a matter of time before they just stop and quit.
That is NOT how you market.
yeah that is just odd. who types like that?
Hi Lawrence, couldn’t agree more. Here’s one I found in my inbox this morning (name removed). Even if the “spam” factor didn’t put me off, the terrible grammar – look at those full stops (periods) everywhere – certainly would!
Hello susan.tindale,
When you start an i.nternet marketin.g bu.siness, you often do not know which way to turn.
You hear so many seemingly great ideas, but implementing them can be frustrating and a chore.
Each day, you wake up feeling like
you are flailing in a hundred directions.
Should you write articles today?
Build a website?
How about keyword research?

as much as you want to help…. they need so much more
Lawrence Tam recently posted..Pros and Cons of Starting a Home Catering Business
great one!
generally you see this for the newbies who have no other way to reach out. I can’t really fault them. That’s their ONLY method online to recruit. what is sad is that they get the people who are “leaches” and do nothing. not a type of business that grows or duplicates.
Lawrence,
in some ways, if you are making money off of other people in exchange for teaching them exactly what you do (no leverage/non mlm), then you don’t really want them to be successful. Otherwise, you train your competition.
When you are selling “get rich secrets pressing a button”, you want the losers/leaches that pay promptly but then take no action because there is work involved.
Thanks,
Brian
i guess you haven’t seen why I’m #1 in Empower Network and qualified for a BMW in 20min in Visalus… can’t can’t be from “NOT teaching”…. why not take a look at the people lining up wanting to learn from me

Here’s one I got just today!
“On that page all your need to do is submit your
name and email address..
then you will be asked for a username and password
and then you have LOCKED yourself in on the early
bird list for this MASSIVE launch!!
Listen.. this is why this is going to be so AMAZING…
I have really hooked you up here!!
I just got off the phone with my good friend
J*** T****** and boy have I hooked you up!!
If you do not have time to read this email take two
seconds and get in on the VERY top of this MLM
with me!”
Sometimes I like to imagine the late Billy Mays’ voice saying these type of e-mails.
the stuff is hilarious. I have calender reminders to speak with some that have talent but are so poorly taught in network marketing methods. I mean i got literally so many from efusjon members that it’s no wonder they didn’t build their own list.
it’s a great learning platform to NOT do what their doing but what is awesome I use it to learn about new companies that have no chance. I mean some of these companies are dead in the water and perfect time for me to educate and lift some of them into learning HOW to make it online/offline.
you gotta be careful with the make it or break it mentality. You want to build a thriving business sponsoring a lot of people while teaching your team how to do smaller bit sized chunks of what you do.
Alienating your friends and family isn’t a good start but going about a business where you are shooting into the sky in hopes to hit a duck isn’t a very good business model.
I’m all for hoping to snag a leader but in what bizzaro world would an established rep with a thriving downline and online list would bite on an email that give NO value?
You gotta remember, network marketing starts with networking. If you are marketing outside your personal list you better be prepared to bring value in helping them and not just your own wallet.
Oh amen amen……….I have pages full of these on FB and get 200 emails a day of the same.

I am sure most of us have received them or similar. I agree it is amateur marketing. But if we try everything is it not the intention to bring in new business and mentor it. The ones I dislike are the people who do not even respond when you ask a question. But you have to take that first step and if someone bites on it that person might end up being the next Dillard or Tam.
share the love, what do you have in your stash?
