Con Men On The
Internet:
Semmy Stumpp
You see their names
plastered across their websites. The text tells you how they've made
millions from online marketing, or playing online lotteries, or any number of
self-professed successes.
And they tell you that you should buy THEIR book
and
learn
from
them.
For example, who is "Semmy Stumpp"? He has dozens of websites, and will
tell you everything from how to win online lotteries (which are illegal in the
United States, by the way), to be a personal success, to market online!
(We believe the last claim, he certainly is great with online hype!) But who are
these people and how do you know if they're telling the truth?
The simple answer is, you don't. Anyone with $50 can get a website up
within 24 hours these days (2005). And there is no government agency
checking what is written. It is up to you to use your own common sense,
good judgment and logical reasoning skills to figure out which are real and
which are fake. But sadly many, many people are missing common sense, good
judgment and/or logical reasoning abilities!
CFR is investigating as many of these self-proclaimed gurus as we can!
