I have found intresting site. Is it scam or something real?

Postby zaijcevich » Sep 25th, '06, 19:42



Hello all,

I have found intresting website ( http://www.************.com ) . He is drawing personal fortune signs. I got intrested in that. But i am worry what it is scam site, which just want to defraud money from people like me. So any opinion ? Can I trust in that ? Maybe somebody ordered that one sign?

P.S.: I am glad to become a new member in this great magic forum. :wink:

Anytime someone tells you up front that "their formula for success works..." is out to get their hands into your wallet, so let's start there. You will find similar wordage hyping marketing books for magic and hitting the corporate venues and trust me, there are very few genuine "Millionaire Magicians"... the majority of us are little other than hobbysts or maybe part-time performers. The Semi-pros rarely see much more than $25,000.00 to maybe $75.00.00 a year in added income while most full-time pros that work their butts off hardly ever come near the half-million a year mark... I know that's a bit off the initial topic but we might as well cover the gross reality of getting rich quick doing what you love so you can see a bit of truth in such things on down the road.

There is no Magic Pill or Mystic Formula per ce. There are standard proceedures or courses of action that have been proven to work for people time and again. Bear in mind that the chief ingredient is little other than HARD WORK AND DEDICATION.

Yes, learning disciplines that help condition the mind and "balance the soul" as it were, are serious boons. One such format that I have used for years and even teach from can be found in the book titled THE WISDOM OF THE MYSTIC MASTERS by Joseph Weed. It is very esoteric but at the same time, practical. I recommend this and a few other books to all of my students both, those involved in stage magic as well as those studying metaphysics and psychic development with me. The reason is very simple; the truth can be found in the darndest places and tools such as those outlined in this and other tomes like THE CELESTINE PROPHECY or COURSE IN MIRACLES are identical to what professional therapist and even drug & alcohol counselors use to help folks correct the imbalances in their life and get back on the path of positive progress. In other words, there are "scientific" points of support for such rhetoric so it don't hurt to know it and work with it (so long as it don't take over your life and logic.)

When it comes to this particular sales pitch... well, snake oil by any other name... :roll:

Hope I've given you some food for thought :wink:

Notice that you firstly have to send me a certain sum and only later order a sign in the order form


taking the above into consideration if your happy to pay for a talisman that you belive will help you then pay your money and wait to order. :?:

some people have bullets with they names engraved on them so they won't die prematurly, some people find the power of prayer helpfull, watever crutch you need you can find it someware on the net.

personaly i think an oriental wife covers all the bases i need, i just need to save some cash. :!: :twisted:

zaijcevich...

Not entirely sure that link is relevant here, and it's a very interesting topic for your first post.

But the kind of magic we 'talk' here is a bit different.

No it was a fortune telling website. I didn't click on the link but it was probably one of those websites hoping to take advantage of vulnerable peoples money by promising something thats complete b*ll*cks

Im still waiting on the next email from the mental maniac that said the black ops agents are watching me. They would have a good laugh if they were cause im constantly in the bar and am generally not that that interesting. These people hail from all over and are after one thing your hard earned (or ill gotten gained) cash. PS people be on the lookout for an email from the National Heritage Lottery claiming you have one 1 million odds its a complete scam cause the heritage lotto give funding not cash to people. I got one yesturday and after a little surfing found the exact same email sent to 1000s of people.

The Feedback column in New Scientist usually has an expose of some new age mumbo jumbo found by readers on the Internet every week. Last week's was on this load of clap trap: http://www.magneurol.com/

Hilarious isn't the word, but it'll do...

If you want something truly hatstand, try the inestimable Mike Coreley, who thinks not only that newsreaders are reporting on his every move, but that MI5 are trying to kill him...

http://www.five.org.uk/

He's not well at all, but he clogs up Usenet every day wit hvast tracts of "evidence" to the point of making certain parts of it unreadable, so feel free to tell him to take his medication.

I particularly like the idea of an agent perfroming an "amorous expression" outside his window.

What a whack job!!! Where did you find this guy from? Im now thinking of making my own useless website into something similar only using someone else like ELMO who does try to peer in my window but I can never catch him cause hes faster than Linford.
