The Mysterious Disappearance of Callwriter.com (Part 5)

This blog mini-series presents discussion on the sudden 2013 cease and desist exhibited by Callwriter.com.

I categorized this mini-seires under optionScam.com because I have often found a close association between trader education or trading system products and internet marketing. In the context of trading, “internet marketing” is synonymous with ripoff. Developing profitable trading systems is a laborious project involving hundreds to thousands of hours. Disproving a system can be equally difficult for those without the theoretical understanding to do so. Suckers looking to make a quick [thousand] buck[s] trading stocks, futures, or options are therefore prey to the internet marketers who float attractive products.

In the world of trading/investing, the free lunch is simply never to be had. Many nefarious entrepreneurs/companies advertise and market to make people believe otherwise.

Another thread about the mysterious disappearance of Callwriter.com is seen on The Option Guru website. We can even find a video on that site where we hear (not see) Mr. John Brasher himself! Maybe The Option Guru is a believer…

Some further searching turns up this page. Wait… that’s also The Option Guru! The content here is from 2009, though, so maybe he didn’t know enough about options to be a guru just yet. Under the “About Me” section I can see his name is Jeff. When I see the same people on different websites then I start to get suspicious.

Look closely back to that first website from two paragraphs above and you can see another product being advertised: “Trading Pro System.” I did an Internet search trying to determine if this was fraudulent and I found this website. When I see the same product being sold by multiple people (e.g. “Eric Holmlund,” “David Vallieres,” “The Option Guru), then I start thinking optionScam.com. It’s more like these are affiliates all cashing in on an internet marketing scheme just like many distributors sell Mary Kay cosmetics (except the latter is a real product with substantiated value).

Ultimately, the business theme always seems to be the same: who cares if the product can really make anybody money as long as it has marketable reason to exist and sustainable demand.

optionScam.com, folks! Sometimes it’s hard to nail down precisely but if it’s too good to be true…

If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck…

If there’s reasonable doubt then come about!
