Yesterday I got a spam entry at my contact form from MySocialButler. I'm not an enemy of spam, but if I get an offer for something what I don't need, because I'm nowhere offering something except the free information about scammers, than I enjoy it to beat back by teasing the spammer.

Let us take first a look what Peter@socialb.com from http://mysocialbutler.org has entered into the contact form at my Fraud-Systems-Blog:

By reading the message above I like to know:

• Why does he think that I need some help in social media marketing?
  
  
• From which money he writes in the case of my blogs? I'm not offering or selling something. I'm running my blogs only for the one reason of not getting bored.
  
  
• As he writes that MySocialButler is focused on Facebook, where did he find something on my site Fraud & Scam Systems - Blog about fraud and scam systems found at the Internet what can get offered or sold to Facebook members? Maybe I have overseen something or some information can get misinterpreted?
  
  
• As MySocialButler is focused on Facebook, why does he not provide the Facebook address and why does not get MySocialButler found by an search on Facebook?
  
  
• The worst sentence for any business owner and a big marketing fail is "We learn about your business and post content for you to your page that gets you new customers". The spammer and scammer likes to learn in a few days something about a business, where others need to learning years or their full life for it. It seems the scammer is overestimating his own possibilities.

Such an offer, like seen above, seems to be not only a spam. It seems that someone tries to scam hard working people. In any case is it already a big marketing fail. But the fail is even worse if we take a look at some background information which are getting easily provided by using some free tools found at the Internet.

Alexa, an Amazon company, is metering the traffic generated for the websites. Websites, which have a ranking under the 100,000 best visited websites have a plugin from Alexa where the traffic gets counted and sites ranking above 100,000 are estimated from the traffic of users, which are using the Alexa browser plugin and some other parameters. In any case gives the Alexa traffic ranking a good overview about the visitors for a domain.

If we take a look at the Alexa ranking from mysocialbutler.org than we see the very impressing message:

We don't have enough data to rank this website.

That means nobody is visiting the website from mysocialbutler.org. How someone can offer an Internet or social marketing service when he is not able to promote his own website? Who will so stupid in such a case and order some services from such a company like mysocialbutler.org?

How easy it is to generate traffic for a website can get shown by my own example. I'm the owner of the domain wwpa.eu too. I have been running on this site offers for my VoIP provider business in Austria. I have sold this business around 5 years ago. I only did not change the content of the site because I did not had any idea what I shall do with this domain. This behavior resulted in an Alexa ranking of over 1,000,000. Some people visited the site from the Google search results. The old content is until now available. On October 15, 2015 I got the idea that I still have a database of jokes in German language available and I decided to publish a few of these jokes in a blog with the address witze.wwpa.eu. Only this action boosted the Alexa ranking of the domain wwpa.eu to actually 684,151:

Additional is the ownership of the domain mysocialbutler.org hidden. The owner is using a privacy protection service to hide his registration data. That shows us that the offer is not coming from a serious company - it is coming from a private person, which likes to get rich quickly without doing something.

Each normal person, which is interested in any Internet or Social Marketing Solutions, would already put the message into the spam folder or simple delete it. But if we continue the investigations then we see that the fun is even coming better. The spammer has sent his message by providing an email address from the domain socialb.com.

If we open the website from socialb.com whe see the impressing offer that the domain is may be for sale:

Even the poor content of the website socialb.com has with 22,938,034 a better Alexa Traffic Rank than mysocialbutler.org:

It seems to be that the owner of the site socialb.com failed already with the content of the site, because why else he would like to sell his domain? The formerly page title from the site socialb.com has been: Find Cash Advance, Debt Consolidation and more at Socialb.com. Get the best of Insurance

The domain ownership of socialb.com is hidden by a privacy protection service. Here are the domain registration data from socialb.com:

At least now 99.9% from the receivers of such a spam message, like Peter@socialb.com has sent out, would trash it without further investigations. This shows that marketing is a foreign word for the site owner from MySocialButler. Maybe he has heard somewhere that marketing is a business and tries now to make money with this information. But everybody can see what he can expect from such marketing skills as the site owner is even not able to promote and generate traffic for his own site. You'll pay for getting nothing in return!

Ok, the domain mysocialbutler.org is nothing else than a forwarding service for the domain mysocialbutler.net, but if we take a look at the Alexa traffic statistics from mysocialbutler.net than we see that even this website does not generate an impressing traffic:

Remember the values from my own German jokes site. The above values are calculated on the result of (Alexa - How engaged are visitors to mysocialbutler.net?):

Bounce Rate: 62.50%
Daily Pageviews per Visitor: 1.70
Daily Time on Site: 1:48

If we take a look at the warnings from ScamAdviser about the site mysocialbutler.net than we see that the site is not really a serious one:

Low Trust Rating. This Site May Not Be Safe to Use.
Site is United States based , But The Real Location Is Being Hidden
The owner of the website is using a service to hide their identity
High Number Of Suspicous Websites On This Server (check the server tab)
This website is 145 Days old
The website expected life (366 days) is relatively short.
The website appears to be less than six months old

Like all other untrustworthy websites and domains is mysocialbutler.net hiding the domain ownership by using a privacy protection service:

Summary: All what you can expect from MySocialButler is that you lose money for getting nothing in return. It can be that you get some copied content from other websites with all risks. You need to hope that the content is completely rewritten, otherwise you'll see how the major search engines will rank you down. For such a useless service you have to pay monthly $197, $297 or $995 depending on the count of social network sites and on the count of copied articles. If you are lucky you'll reach the same traffic ranking like MySocialButler where 62.5% of the user are escaping as soon as they have seen the first page and the remaining users are gone in average from your site after 1 minute and 48 seconds.

Update January 28, 2016: Today, I got the same message again by using my contact form. As I have been looking at their site I have seen the best promotion ever:

Something like that can happen too, if you like to use the services from mysocialbutler.net. In such a case you can start from the beginning again. The best recommendation is avoid such services coming from script kiddies and amateurs.

Update Jan. 18, 2017: Links to mysocialbutler.org and to socialb.com removed as the domains don't not exist anymore.

Misleading promotion is well-known from the affiliate and MLM marketing companies. By promoting large income opportunities they try to pull out your hard earned money from your pocket. ShoeMoney is not different in this case. I think ShoeMoney is even more worse than others.

Jeremy Shoemaker promises in his videos after signing up to shoemoney.net for sharing a link on Facebook $1 as payment. The problem is already that his program is not able verifying the link. The alternate way is to share it on Twitter. This seems to work for his program. Verifying the Paypal account works too. His transfer of $1 to your Paypal account is already not working. A rogue who thinks is the evil of it.

I'll reccommend everybody, which made the same experience than me to delete the Tweet and the Facebook posting with the Shoemoney link because you have done it in believing the misleading promotion of Jeremy Shoemaker. Even the verification access to your Paypal account should get removed (found at https://www.paypal.com/webapps/auth/identity/myactivity?execution=e1s2). It does not matter how much the value is you got promised. The behavior of Jeremy Shoemaker itself shows that he is not a trustful business partner. His words are nothing else than hot air or with other words who lies once cannot get trusted any more. If someone lies already for a small amount, what he will do if the amount is big?

It is not a big loss if ShoeMoney is not trustful. They only like to sell you a website for promoting their own services. You get a few percents of their sales. That means if ShoeMoney is not successful they are saving at least the hosting costs of their website, because you have to pay it in any case. That is the business model of ShoeMoney: You have in any case the costs and if they like than they let you earn a little bit. You'll not be able to have any controll about your sales and Jeremy Shoemaker is cheating you already for US$1!

Here we can see that the link shoemoney.net is public shared at my wall at Facebook: 

The site ShoeMoney.net does not recognize it and offers for this sharing it on Twitter. As we know from before it can be a trick for getting more attention too. I think more about the second possibility:

You can see here where you need to spend money and what you get by participating at the program of ShoeMoney. I have stopped at the moment as I needed to buy space for a website from a provider, which has less bandwith available than my own company in Europe. As you cannot continue to the next step without buying you can guess who will earn money: Jeremy Shoemaker. You can even expect that you have to pay for services, which you can get from other sites for free:

Continue reading at Scammer: ShoeMoney - Jeremy Shoemaker - cheats already for US$1, what will happen with higher sums?

iPas 2 is a sales management and funnel system. For this it cannot generate itself any income for you. Everything depends on the product you have to sell. A typical non-seller will not sell better if you are using the system. For this are all promotions where you can earn from this system are nothing else than misleading. The only possibility of earning is by selling the system to others and getting a commission for it. With other words is it nothing else than a pyramid system without any real product value and for this is in a lot of countries illegal.

The system got developed for the Prosperty Team of the Empower Network and Empower Network members can use it for collecting additional affiliates. Anyway there are cheaper alternatives available.

The costs for the iPas 2 system are found at their site http://ipassystem.net/internet-marketing-system/ipas-review/:

What Are The Costs Of Joining iPas 2?
Good question! The best question in this iPas Marketing System review! Look iPas has a high ticket business model that spits out high commissions. The best scenario is to be at the Black Member level. At this level you have the PBA’s (personal business assistants) working for you. By the way, all the products and names you see, are Empower Network Products. The viral blogging system is a must have to be online with a professional blog website. You can use this to blog about your business or any other topic you like. The rest are high level Marketing training products. You can seriously compare this to a Masters degree in online marketing when you have studied them all. Let’s put it all in one simple overview:

So your total one time investment to be at the iPas Black Membership level is US$ 5125.00. if you immediately go all in and qualify for all possible commissions.
You can also enter at much lower levels… $100 – $500 or $1000, Bronze, Silver and Gold.
Your monthly costs are US$47.00 for the iPas2 system.
And $19.95 affiliate fee to be paid 100% commissions

The makers of the item guarantee that you'll have the capacity to make a huge number of dollars every month with these components. I have doubtlessly on the off chance that you utilize this framework and buckle down then you'll have the capacity to create a better than average wage. Be that as it may, it'll take a long while to acquire back what you spent in any case. Also the way does not make it better that regardless you'll be 100% depending on the Empower Network for making money.

You can find what you can really earn at their income disclaimer found at http://ipasoffice.com/legal/earnings-disclaimer.php:

The ‘average’ person who participates in iPAS earns $0-$200 per month, while the exceptional ones earn upwards of $20,000+ per month.

It doesn't generally show you how to make an online business. It chiefly shows you how to market Empower Network and gain cash as a member. Your fundamental wellspring of wage will be from the referrals that you gather. I know functioning as a partner advertiser can be very gainful. In any case, I think we can all concur that it's vastly improved to have your own site and after that advance offshoot offers through your site.

You should be in control. Else, it can all vanish overnight. Keep in mind what happened when Google began getting serious about spam with the new calculation redesigns? A huge number of sites were hit hard and online groups were overflowed with individuals griping about the new changes. The fact of the matter is that on the off chance that you rely on upon one showcasing method for the greater part of your needs, and that advertising system is demolished, then your whole business will run down with it. That is what it's inconceivably vital to concentrate on a few distinctive promoting systems.

Did you know Google doesn't support Empower Network blogs? Empower Network sites are staggeringly hard to rank on Google.

So much selflessness must of course be protected from their overwhelmed customers. For this they hide their identity by using proxy services for their domain registrations:

It seems that the owner of getquickrich.net got already rich by promoting the site takesurveysforcash.com from ClickBank. It looks like that he even does not know where he should store his earnings because today the very impressing content - see the screenshot below - gets shown:

That means that the starting page got removed. The redirectors are still working. If we click at click4surveys then we get the following message from ClickBank:

The english translation of this message is "This site is not longer in service or got canceled or got banned for breaching of contract. hat the site did not got banned gets shown if we are following the link takecashz. The site takesurveysforcash.com is still opening by using the redirector.

I don't know how long the site is already offline. A look at the Alexa global ranking shows that the site had some traffic before:

My opinion is that the owner of the site has promoted his site very good but he did not get some success. For this he has given up. There are not so many people available, which are so stupid and pay a membership fee for maybe getting some paid surveys. If they have too many surveys and too less members they would not take a membership fee. The real income for the ClickBank survey sites is the membership fee and not any customer which like to get some surveys filled out.

For this reason are all sites where you need to pay first for getting paid nothing else than SCAM!!!

My report from May 12, 2015:

An unbelievable offer of $9,045.50 per month has been coming on LinkedIn to my attention. Typical is that such offers are done by nice girls, without any information in their profile, one or two group memberships and with less then 10 contacts.

The offer from takesurveysforcash.com sounds too good to be true, which are normally not true. They are advancing that you can procure for filling surveys. No one will pay you for filling surveys, they are just gathering your information for offering them in the best case. Advancement goes into the masses and no organization likes to get the supposition of just a modest bunch individuals, for this they are not ready to pay you huge wholes for rounding out a few surveys.

Another issue is, that no one will elevate an approach to acquire like a CEO in the event that he not require your cash for this income. By investigating the takesurveysforcash site, then we discover the motivation behind why they are spamming the interpersonal organization locales - it is their subsidiary system. That is the way how the individuals from takesurveysforcash are acquiring cash with their staggering advancement.

Nice from Clickbank is, that they are getting declared by themselves as business partner from takesurveysforcash in the disclaimer at the end of the website:

ClickBank is the retailer of products on this site. CLICKBANK® is a registered trademark of Click Sales, Inc., a Delaware corporation located at 917 S.

By taking a look at the promotion I ask myself why someone goes for work a full month, if he can earn more then average within a few hours of work?

Such a offer sounds too good to be true. We know that everything, which seems to be too good to be true is not not true. The same situation is with the offer from click4surveys.com. They are promoting that you can earn for filling surveys. Nobody will pay you for filling surveys, they are only collecting your data for selling them in the best case. Promotion goes into the masses and no company likes to get the opinion of only a handful people, for this they are not able to pay you big sums for filling out some surveys.

The Chinese Terry Shi is rotating the Survey from ClickBank. Maybe he is hoping to get rich quick. He should think about it that he will only spend money instead of getting rich. Before May 12, 2015 he has been promoting the offer from click4surveys.com. Now he is promoting the offer for takesurveysforcash.com.

We can expect a lot fake domains, which have the same content like the original site. As scammer are lazy they let the content running in a frame or redirecting to the original site. Another problem is, that nobody will promote a way to earn like a CEO if he not need your money for his earnings.

By taking a closer look at the click4surveys website, then we find the reason why they are spamming the social network sites - it is their affiliate program. That is the way how the members of click4surveys are earning money with their unbelievable promotion.

We find at the end of the website a FTC disclaimer, where is written, that the person found in the testimonials/endorsment got paid for publishing their opinion. This show us already the fake:

FTC disclosure: The persons found in the testimonials/ endorsements on this page have received monetary incentives to publish their opinions about Click4Surveys. These persons were part of an initial trial group that received free access to the Click4Surveys program along with monetary payment for voicing their opinion about their experiences.

If I'm earning a lot from a little bit work, like one hour per day, nobody need to pay me for making promotion for this kind of work.

Even click4surveys.com does not guarantee something. For this you need only to read the very small printed disclaimer at the end of their website. This disclaimer shows us that they not believe into their own system:

Click4Surveys.com Earnings Disclaimer: Every effort has been made to accurately represent this product and it's potential. Even though this industry is one of the few where one can write their own check in terms of earnings, there is no guarantee that you will earn any money using the techniques and ideas in these materials.

Earning potential is entirely dependent on the person using our product, ideas, techniques and the effort put forth. We do not purport this as a "get rich scheme." Your level of success in attaining the results claimed in our materials depends on the time you devote to the program, ideas and techniques mentioned, knowledge and various skills.

Forward-looking statements give our expectations or forecasts of future events. You can identify these statements by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. They use words such as "anticipate," "estimate," "expect," "project," "intend," "believe," "plan," and other words and terms of similar meaning in connection with a description of potential earnings or financial performance. Any and all forward looking statements here or on any of our sales material are intended to express our opinion of earnings potential. Many factors will be important in determining your actual results and no guarantees are made that you will achieve results similar to ours or anybody else's, in fact no guarantees are made that you will achieve any results from our ideas and techniques. Results vary, and as with any money-making opportunity, you could make more or less. Success in ANY money-making opportunity is a result of hard work, time and a variety of other factors. No express or implied guarantees of income are made by Click4Surveys.com.

Conclusion: It is a typical pyramid system with the touch of MLM/affiliate marketing. Only the people on the top are earning.

A typical SPAM posting from click4surveys.com:

Your Last Chance to Secure up to $750 - $1500/week for One Hour of Work!

The first redirect (url-shortener) brings you to the domain blessingway.info. That is the first reason to take a look at the reputation of the domain blessingway.info by using Scamadviser with the following result:

Alert Result: Low Trust Rating. This Site May Not Be Safe to Use.
Alert Result: Registered contact email address is a free one
Alert Result: Technical contact email address is a free one
Alert Result: Administrative contact email address is a free one
Alert Result: This Site Maybe Linked With Other Risky Sites
Alert Result: This website is 61 Days old
Alert Result: The website expected life (366 days) is relatively short.
Alert Result: The website appears to be less than six months old
Alert Result: This website setup involves countries known to be high risk
Alert Result: This website is likely to be operating from a high risk country

If we take a look at the source code of the website, then we see in a frame a website from the domain clickbank.net running:

<html>
<meta property="og:title" content="Get started TODAY Here"/>
<meta property="og:image" content="http://d2ipzmg0avd0av.cloudfront.net/i/img-32.jpg"/>

</frameset>
</html>

On the website of click4dsurveys.com we find a disclaimer about Clickbank:

ClickBank is a registered trademark of Keynetics Inc., a Delaware corporation. Click4Surveys.com is not affiliated with Keynetics Inc. in any way, nor does Keynetics Inc. sponsor or approve any Click4Surveys.com product. Keynetics Inc. expresses no opinion as to the correctness of any of the statements made by Click4Surveys.com in the materials on this Web page.

My opinion is that someone, which supports spam and scam is not better then the scammer himself. Even such a disclaimer will not give them a better reputation.

We use again Scamadviser for checking the reputation of the domain clickbank.net:

Alert Result: Low Trust Rating. This Site May Not Be Safe to Use.
Alert Result: This website/business has been given a low reliability rating by other websites
Alert Result: This website has been reported as being untrustworthy
Good Result: This website is deemed to be popular by Alexa with a ranking of 1237

click4surveys.com is already well-known for their spam and their unbelievable promotion. Anyway, we are asking Scamadviser for the reputation of click4surveys.com:

Alert Result: Low Trust Rating. This Site May Not Be Safe to Use.
Alert Result: This website has been listed as having malware.
Alert Result: The owner of the website is using a service to hide their identity
Alert Result: This website is 1 Years old
Good Result: This website is deemed to be popular by Alexa with a ranking of 34346

  One of those if ‘it’s too good to be true it isn’t’ traps. As usual with these one will pay money out not make money which is a person’s aim.

  Don't join - site wants you to install backup software JUST to work, what you're really doing is being forced to make a purchase that has nothing to do with their site and then forced to buy other things in order to get "paid" for data entry of your own info to other companies that don't pay you anything because you're buying their product. You'll spend hundreds before you see the $25 they promise to pay you, IF they pay you. A+ Scam
