Patents and Petty Content Providers

Thursday, February 23, 2006
This is going to be nothing but a screaming RANT! First of all, I got an email from MediaPost's "Around the Net in Online Marketing" regarding a newly issued patent regarding Rich Media Content. The whole U.S. patent system is insane, but that's on the tip of the iceberg with this rant. I wanted to provide you a link to the Information Week article on this, but they license their links. They want me to pay them $2.50 to give you a link to their website! No !@#$%!%!% WAY!

12 Daily Pro - StormPay Scam

Monday, February 13, 2006
MLM Watchdog is reporting that 12DP has been shutdown. Actually, they've been shutdown by their money laundering firm, StormPay. It appears that StormPay has taken it on their own initiative to place "the money in a holding account, pending an investigation into 12daily Pro by the FBI. By policy, the FBI would neither confirm nor deny any ongoing investigation."1

StormPay Problems

Saturday, February 04, 2006
I'm getting a lot of comments regarding problems with StormPay on an old post I made back in March 2005, Storm Pay Scam. There I was concerned about their involvement with NoBSZone and illicit charges on credit cards for Porn sites. Now it seems they're not only having problems with their website staying responsive, but they're digging a hole that will lead to their demise.

Butterfly Marketing? A Scam?

Wednesday, February 01, 2006

Is the latest buzz, Butterfly Marketing, a scam? Absolutely not! But!!!!!!

If you think you're going to make money by getting in on this $997.00 deal and reselling it, you're nuts! First of all, there's only 1500 packages being sold and over 500 were sold on the first day, so your ability to capitalize on the opportunity is severely limited out of the gate. Mile Filsaime says he's spent the last 18 months putting together this product. A significant amount of this time was probably used to line up his joint venture team. Let's see... I've received invitations to buy this package from Coya Moda, Gary Ambrose,  Jeremy Gislason, Michail Rasmussen, Rob Taylor, Nick Temple and Mike Fislaime himself. These guys have created special incentive packages to get you to buy Butterfly Marketing from them, so, unless you were part of the inner circle and were pre-prepared for this launch, the odds are not in your favor. Does this mean you shouldn't buy it?
