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.

 

no junk mail

Great site and I hope it has been helping more people to publicize the piss poor behavior of these spammers. You would imagine that with everything going on in the world with COVID, protestors, anti-vaccers, wars, etc that these people would be doing something productive with their lives – but no – this is their hobby and life mission, spamming people.

These are just a mere few of the daily spammers I get. Be on the lookout for them if you’re not already familiar with them.

“What skill would that be? Threesome, foursome, train, or letting people watch?? Or anal. Thats all u could have on me.
Either way I have no interet in learning. I have more respect for myself.” – Melissa

******* this was in response to an email I sent out to help people improve their typing speed (words per min WPM). Yes… even women can be awful.

Myra · March 16, 2016 at 3:51 pm

This is crazy & sad at the same time, lol… Whenever I start thinking back about how I used to spam my friends and family with my business offers, something like this will make me feel a whole lot better! ?

This one came in my facebook chat message this morning. I could not believe someone would ask me this. Thank You for a place to put it.

“Listen, It’s clearly not for you, but I wanted to ask, since I’m looking for sharp people to join my team, do you know anyone who is ambitious, money motivated, looking for residual monthly income using a simple system like I have? If you do, feel free to pass on my contact info to them or let me know!”

vaswani janki · April 29, 2014 at 2:35 am

please note, always you people mention that there are comissions in your account but when i try to open i do not see the pay check instead only vedios, why? please send checks payable to: vaswani janki the hong kong society for the blind, 6/f. east wing, 248 nam cheung street, sham shui po, kowloon, hong kong. via ordinary mail, do not attach paycheck with emails. thanks. regards, vaswani janki.

    Lawrence Tam · April 29, 2014 at 8:41 am

    i can’t stop laughing…. to think this is a copy of a spam mail or that you are actually requesting a commission

Jason Gazaway · April 11, 2014 at 3:42 pm

I’m still wondering why you didn’t send me a laptop Lawrence… I clearly thought it was a reasonable request?

spooon Exactly! Because that’s why I’ve worked so hard to grow my followers…

I get a lot of tweet-spam – I like these:  Thanks for Following me!  Please share my amazing opportunity with your followers! (It Works body wraps was her “amazing opportunity)

Heather Ruhe · June 14, 2012 at 7:51 pm

I love the t.v. show Sons of Anarchy, SAM Crow. Do you think they’ll let me in with a BMW motorcycle? Could you send me one please? *wink*. I don’t think I’ll make it as an outlaw, but some people definitely think MLM ranks the same. We are all out in life learning. It’s not about what we can learn, but what we can teach. Good Job Lawrence & Ride on!

Nathan Blake · June 9, 2012 at 3:56 am

Did you really make the money that you are talking about since October of last year, and if so can I do it as well if I do what you did?

    Lawrence Tam · August 11, 2012 at 10:21 pm

    yes i really did…

    google me and your going to see my results..

    i have no clue what your capable of.. but failure was not an option for me.. i wanted OUT of engineering.. so now i’m retired at 34 now 😉

Marcin · May 10, 2012 at 9:50 am

Hey Lawrence, I love the quality content you provide, great work and testimony to the industry. I found you on MLSP leaderboard and looks like I will be coming for more. Keep rocking.

    living a life of freedom is one everyone should have… dive into the training and learn from those who can help 😉

Jussi Hemlund · February 6, 2012 at 5:27 am

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!”

Andrea Thornton · October 14, 2011 at 10:41 am

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. (?)

Andrea

    Lawrence Tam · October 14, 2011 at 11:07 am

    stuff is hilarious and actually doesn’t bother me anymore. take it as it is (weak marketing) 😉

Al Seward · October 7, 2011 at 9:12 am

Lol good list…that was funny!

Darren Spruyt · July 29, 2011 at 12:33 am

LMAO! There’s no words for this bro.. It’s just plain hilarious. It’s really sad to see so many people who needed to be educated on what marketing is though…

    Lawrence Tam · August 8, 2011 at 1:22 pm

    let me see your best shot! I’m sure you got some wild stuff coming to your email box and website 😉

Eric Goldman · July 26, 2011 at 12:49 am

Hi Lawrence,

These were really funny.  Thanks for the laugh.

Eric

David Wood · June 1, 2011 at 5:15 pm

lol.  dude this is hilarious, I should do this too – might just have to copy you here, genius.

Stephanie Deneke · June 1, 2011 at 4:47 pm

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.

    Lawrence Tam · June 1, 2011 at 4:48 pm

    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.

Brian Rakowski · May 21, 2011 at 4:53 pm

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!

Brian

    Lawrence Tam · May 22, 2011 at 3:21 am

    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.

Monte · September 17, 2010 at 10:18 pm

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.

    Lawrence Tam · September 17, 2010 at 11:54 pm

    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.

Susan Tindale · September 14, 2010 at 8:26 am

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?

>>
It can become a challenge to get

yourself to stay on task!

List building is one of those “must do” things on every inte.rnet m.arketer’s daily task outline.

You’ve heard it said a thousand times,

    Lawrence Tam · August 8, 2011 at 1:23 pm

    as much as you want to help…. they need so much more

Lawrence Tam · September 14, 2010 at 1:19 pm

yeah that is just odd. who types like that?

Lawrence Tam · September 13, 2010 at 10:57 pm

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.

    MLM WALL · January 19, 2012 at 1:03 pm

    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

      Lawrence Tam · January 22, 2012 at 9:57 pm

      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 😉

Monte · September 13, 2010 at 10:22 pm

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.

Lawrence Tam · September 13, 2010 at 4:18 am

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.

Lawrence Tam · September 13, 2010 at 3:13 am

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.

Catherine Allen · September 13, 2010 at 2:38 am

Oh amen amen……….I have pages full of these on FB and get 200 emails a day of the same.

Catherine Allen

Dpmequityventures · September 13, 2010 at 2:36 am

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.

    Lawrence Tam · August 9, 2011 at 9:52 am
