Yes, I said Blackmail and I said Extortion, but I am serious, it seems that spammers are getting dummer by the minute.

As you know, any serious business person knows that spamming is not the way to generate a good living online and even those that try to ‘test the waters’ by blasting millions of emails learn quickly that it’s just not worth it. Heck, aside from having your accounts and internet access and websites cut off, more and more they are finding themselves at the end facing legal action, lawsuits and aside from heavy fines even serious jail time, but I think I can safely say that this latest spam email I got today only shows that some spammers are getting dummer by the minute.

Think about this, there are plenty of ways to track down anyone, even if you’re not some ‘government agency’, but for someone to think anyone would actually respond to the email I am including below for your information, is just simply stupid!

Let’s see, spamming can get you in a lot of trouble, blackmail is even worse, death threats being sent by email are sure to get some investigators to take notice, but not only that, in this case, the email address this crap is being sent from tries to make it look like it’s part of some foreign government’s secret service, WHAT IDIOTS!!!

Here’s the email I just got:

Date: Sun, 2 Mar 2008 10:04:22 -0000 (GMT)
Subject: Deadly Killers
From: “Deadly Killers” hamasnetworks@uk2.net

Attn,
I  am very sorry for you , is a pity that this is how your life is going

to end as
soon as you don’t comply. As you can see there is no need of introducing
myself to you because I don’t have any business with you,

my duty as I am mailing you now is just to KILL you and I have to do it as I
have already been paid for that.
Someone you call a friend wants you Dead by all means, and this  person
have spent a lot of money in this venture,This person came to us and told me
that he wanted you dead and he provided us with your name ,picture and
other necessary information’s we needed about you. So I sent my boys to
track

you down and they have carried out the necessary investigation needed for
the operation on you, and they have done that but I told them not to kill you
that I will like to contact you and see if your life is important to you.I

called
my client back and ask him of your email address which I didn’t tell him what
I wanted to do with it and he gave it to me and I am using it to contact you
now. As I am writing to you this mail my  men are monitoring you and they are
telling me everything about you.
Now do you want to LIVE OR DIE? Since all program has be made and draw to
kill you. Get back to me now if you are ready to pay some fees to spare your
life, $15,000 is all you need to spend in this process you will first of

all pay
$8,000 then i will send a tape to you which i recorded every discusion i had
with the person who wanted you dead and as soon as you get the tape, you
will pay the remaining balance of $7,000. If you are not ready for my help,
then I will carry on with my job straight-up.
WARNING: DO NOT THINK OF CONTACTING THE POLICE OR EVEN TELLING
ANYONE

BECAUSE I WILL KNOW,REMEMBER, SOMEONE WHO KNOWS YOU VERY WELL
WANT YOU

DEAD! I WILL EXTEND IT TO YOUR FAMILY, IN CASE I NOTICE SOMETHING
FUNNY ABOUT

YOUR TELLING THE SECURITY ABOUT IT BECAUSE A GOOD LOOK IS OUT YOU
AT MOMENT.
DO NOT COME OUT ONCE IT IS 7:PM UNTIL I MAKE OUT TIME TO SEE YOU AND

GIVE YOU THE TAPE OF ALL  DISCUSSION WITH THE PERSON WHO WANT YOU
DEAD THEN

YOU CAN USE IT TO TAKE ANY LEGAL ACTION. GOOD LUCK AS I AWAIT YOUR
REPLY

Now personally, aside from the terrible spelling, the pathetic attempt to scare me and everything else, this person is definitely an idiot and I am not just talking about the terrible use of the english language.

Now, some people may look at this blog post and wonder if I have lost my mind opening my mouth like this, but let’s face it, this is just some stupid spammer looking for a victim to rip off.

A quick search on this fake (I am sure it’s not a legit email address) email on google is already showing posts from places such as the Denver Post and the Warrior’s Forum where others have received this same idiotic message trying to sucker some poor fool.

Here’s the bottomline as I see it…

  1. Spamming doesn’t work
  2. No one should fall sucker to this or these idiots
  3. If you truly do feel worried or scared, please contact your local authorities or police and let them deal with this.

Feel free to link to this page if you would like to share the message and prevent anyone from falling prey to this pathetic spammer’s attempt at blackmail and make sure you also post your comments below.

Tell me about the most insane spam you’ve ever received and let’s turn this into a true warning to not only the spammer’s that we won’t be their victims, but also to help warn others that may potentially not be aware that this is just a load of CRAP!

SAY NO TO SPAMMERS, BLACKMAILERS & DEATHTHREATS!

As an Internet Marketer, you may feel like nobody outside your online buddies understands exactly what you do all day at home. And, sometimes you feel a bit like an alien trying to tell people stories about your day-to-day life.
      
Well, my friend and mentor, Jimmy D. Brown hit a home run. He’s created 15 comics about what it’s like to be an Internet Marketer. Some will make you laugh out loud and some will make you groan, but all are worth taking a minute to peek at:

http://www.xaviernelson.com/linksto/marketinggiggles

Just look at the one below, how true and how goofy….
      
Totally free and totally funny, you just have to be careful that you don’t take a sip of your coffee while you look at the comics, you might end up spraying the java everywhere because of your laughing fit.

Having a rough day? Well, like they say, laughter is the best medicine, so enjoy the comics at http://www.xaviernelson.com/linksto/marketinggiggles and here’s one to get you started giggling…


Go check out all the other laughs, giggles and fun (as well as some other gifts and goodies) at http://www.xaviernelson.com/linksto/marketinggiggles right now!

Alright, I have to admit I am rather excited about today’s issue of Xavier’s Tips, not just because I am able to bring you another 2 gifts, but I have a whole lot more to share with you that will help you succeed, so let’s get right to it. Pull up a chair…

=========
In a hurry?

Visit http://www.xaviernelson.com/trafficbloodhound as well as Internet-Marketing-Inner-Circle.com right now!
=========

First, just in case the filters snatched the last issue from your mailbox, make sure to stop by my blog at XavierNelson.com because I had included 3 cool gifts in that issue, but in the end it was actually 4 gifts for you.

I have also posted a few other items on the blog for you, such as a News Article that explains what has happened to some websurfers that their ISP deemed ‘heavy users’ at http://runurl.com/xx.php?dxb
This article is already drawing comments from around the web, so please add your thoughts to it as well.

I’ve uploaded a video from The BBC on the blog that discusses a rising trend in online ticket sales done by entrepreneurs at http://runurl.com/xx.php?dxc.

I had to use a link-shortener for the blog links today since they are a little too long for an ezine - just wanted you to know since they are in a different format than you are used to.

In addition to that, I also added an AudioTip Podcast at http://runurl.com/xx.php?dxd that discusses how to retain more of your website visitors.

And that’s still not all I’ve done in the past 28 hours (ok, so I haven’t slept yet, but you already know sleeping and I don’t seem to always get along well)…

As I shared with you in the last issue, I’ve launched a new tool at Web-Sales-Motivator.com and it’s already being snatched up quickly.

But today I worked on another software tool, something rather needed, because all too often we don’t really think about where the traffic to our site comes from, or how they even found our website. This goes beyond mere tracking, to another level, and I am happy to say that I have everything all set now and online for you to go check it out for yourself at http://www.xaviernelson.com/trafficbloodhound.

Let me go ahead and share the first gift with you. This one, like the one’s in the last issue, comes with Master Resell Rights or you can also give it away to your list or website visitors and it’s waiting for you right now at http://www.xaviernelson.com/gifts/BuildYourListNow.pdf.

I didn’t forget that I promised we are going to talk a little more about what Doug has identified as the three levels of bloggers, but before we do that, I need to share something from one of my mentors. I spent some time discussing the usual topics with Willie Crawford today, but one thing we also looked at was how hard it is for newer marketers to even reach some of the more seasoned people. It’s a complaint I hear all too often, and quite many even think they shouldn’t even bother approaching a ‘bigwig’ about a joint venture.

Luckily, Willie has already dealt extensively with this problem and wanted to do something to help everyone that is just starting out and facing these problems at Internet-Marketing-Inner-Circle.com.

He went out and sat down with some of the top marketers in the world (yeah, the world, not just the USA) and he started asking questions, heck, he grilled.

Over 50 top-of-the-line marketers stood question and answer to:

* Is there an Internet marketing “inner circle” or a “good ole boys’ club?”

* How does a beginner break into The Inner Circle?

* What would make you want to partner or JV with a beginner?

* How important is list size?

* How important is product price?

* What was your big break?

* How do you prefer someone contact you about a JV?

* What types of products are you seeking to promote?

* How do you choose a profitable niche?

* How did you get the attention of the big players?

* WHAT keeps so many from breaking out of the pack and achieving major success in internet marketing?

* What advice would you give to someone wanting to become a recognized Internet marketing expert?

* How did you break into that Inner Circle?

He also “dug deep” to uncover what things cause them to turn down joint ventures, and the opportunity to work with aspiring Internet marketers. He DESPARATELY wanted to bring out into the open what thing you should definitely NOT do at Internet-Marketing-Inner-Circle.com and believe me, you’ll definitely be more than surprised not just by some of the replies and answers, but even more so about how willing a lot of them are actually very willing to do Joint Ventures with fellow marketers…

Willie even gave me a gift to share with you today, and I’ll get to that in a minute.

The reason I wanted to bring up all this information that Willie has compiled for you is simply that I get plenty of email every single day asking me how to break into that inner circle. Some people have seen my name in the upper rankings of Joint Venture Contests, or as a testimonial on other sites, or someone mentioned me, and to be honest, I am not at the same level a lot of the people Willie grilled at Internet-Marketing-Inner-Circle.com but I can tell you that there definitely are ‘Inner Circles’ and very strong ‘Master Mind Groups’ and I feel priviledged to belong to a few and am also launching my very own (you’ll be receiving an invitation for mine soon, it will be open to everyone!).

Now let me tie all of this information about Willie and Internet-Marketing-Inner-Circle.com back to my friend, buddy and partner Doug Champigny for you…

You see, Doug and I met online a few years back and we hit it off, we saw things in a similar light and we got along well very quickly, but we do have very strong differences of opinion at times. But here’s the thing, we know how to work together and work well together. It’s what led to the success of our semi-annual PLR Giveaway and to other projects we’ve either helped each other with or worked together on.

More than that, we also help each other by being a sounding board for ideas, we know we can trust each other and don’t have to worry about one ripping the other off (oh yes, that does happen if you tell the wrong person or forum).

Doug has introduced me to a number of people over the years and likewise I’ve introduced them to some as well (no where near as many as he opened doors for me to).

The keything I want you to understand here is that alone you can only do so much, you can only figure out a certain amount. But together we can do much, much more!

It’s one of the reasons I am proud to be part of the Internet-Marketing-Inner-Circle.com and also a few informal ones too.

Ok, like I said, I can tie everything back to Doug hehe…

Yesterday I told you he identified three distinct types of bloggers and I felt it was great information so I wanted to share it with you.

And who better to explain it to you than Doug Champigny himself, in his own words:

Today I want to discuss the blogging phenomenon, and see what type of blogger you are - I divide all bloggers into 3 categories - NBY (Not Blogging Yet), OB (occasional blogger) and PB (Professional Blogger). I think you already know which category Teri and I are in, with 8 blogs between us so far and many more to come…

There are 70 million blogs online today, and thousands more each day - yet many IMers STILL haven’t got their first blog online yet. Are you an NBY? There’s a good reason why NBY and newbie are phonetically similar - both are marks of those new to the biz. Experienced big-dog markters know there’s very little that has the power of your own blog, especially tools that are available for no outlay, like blogging is.

Are you liable to get thousands or tens of thousands flocking to your blog each day? No. As an IMer, do you care? Again, no. Because that’s not why you’re blogging; you’re blogging to get your links spidered by the big engines quickly, and to be able to use the Web 2.0 sites to get people to your online empire and onto your lists.

For NBYs, pick up ProfitPullingBlogs from: http://www.xaviernelson.com/access/to/weeklyresourcetip

On to OBs - you know it if you’re an OB, because you find yourself feeling guilty over not posting to your blog on a regular basis. oh yes, you DO have a blog or 2, you just haven’t updated them in forever. It may be you’re not sure what to write, it may be you’ve been too busy with other stuff, or maybe you’ve just been lazy for the last bit, who knows? The fact remains - you’re not liable to change in a hurry, are you?

For OBs, it’s John Delavera to the rescue. John created the ‘WordPress Blogs Auto Content Generator’ - a big name for a simple little script that can ease your guilt - and make your blog a lot more effective. You choose from the millions of RSS feeds online, and the script adds info from those other blogs to yours, keeping it updated with fresh content up to once a day.

While it will never replace your own posts for driving people to your sites, it can keep the engines coming back to your blog over and over. Just be sure to choose feeds with content written around the right keywords for your sites… You can download the generator from: http://www.xaviernelson.com/access/to/weeklyresourcetip

On to PBs - Professional Bloggers. You’re running one, or more likely a few blogs, your main one and some geared to each niche you’re active in. You post to each once a week or more, and usually more often to your main blog. While the Generator above is fine for a few of your niches you’re just dabbling in, you’d never settle for that on your main blogs…

You ping the directories with each post, have a plugin creating and updating your Google sitemaps, another to do your technorati tags, and use your MyBlogLog community to keep your audience growing - you’re serious about this and are seeing all the benefits that go with it.

Well, time to kick it up another notch, then! Many think Podcasting and Vlogging (video blogging) must be truly difficult or require major outlays - and they think it’s just to give a more personal touch to your blogs. Nope. Both give you access to a whole new raft of directories the blogging alone doesn’t reach, and you know what more access to directories and Web 2.0 sites means - more visitors, more exposure and more results across the board.

The PodPress plugin adds your audios to your blog to make podcasts, and there’s a great resource about video blogging from Liz Tomey, and this week you can download VideoBlogger from our site at: http://www.xaviernelson.com/access/to/weeklyresourcetip

So there you go - blogging resources for you and your current level of operation. Notice the one common factor? All of them are on our site this week, but only til Friday. Then they’ll be added to Secrets Of The Super Bloggers Vol 2, being released as an update to our first volume this fall. And since those bundles are about a hundred bucks each, better you should grab at least these three today from: http://www.xaviernelson.com/access/to/weeklyresourcetip

(…end of Doug’s overview) - It’s true though. Every time I speak with someone about blogging they do indeed fall into that level and I do belong to the PB level myself with the various different blogs I am currently running, but I also did make the leap to using video and audio on my blog as you’ve seen in the past and will see even more in the future.

Not only are Doug and I really tight friends and partners but he also is one of my mentors, part of my own Inner Circle and it was Doug that first started telling me that I needed to start working on my ‘BRAND’. I needed to spread the word about me and who I am, rather than keep hiding behind the fancy domain names of some of my other websites, so to be blunt, Doug’s someone you should not just keep an eye on, but watch him closely and that includes the excellent resources he puts together for you at http://www.xaviernelson.com/access/to/weeklyresourcetip.

Speaking of the days when I started to ‘brand’ myself, Success Coach Robin Sharma talks about branding ‘YOU’ in the video on my blog and shares some good info at http://runurl.com/xx.php?dxa for you.

All this talking about Joint Ventures reminds me, I have a special invitation for you too today…

In just a few days, a new site is going to be launching, dedicated to combining fun and humor with a massive mega deal-of-the-day and they are looking for affiliates and JV partners to help them get everything going.

Head to http://www.xaviernelson.com/access/to/dailydeal and get registered now, because I have spent the past several weeks speaking several times a week with one of the partners, one of the technical minds, and what they are going to launch is already drawing all the big-dogs like moths to the flame.

However this time everyone gets an invitation through me so you can be a part of this mega launch event too at http://www.xaviernelson.com/access/to/dailydeal.

Go check it out for yourself, but one nice thing I wanted to point out to you, aside from actually being invited to a big launch, it’s set up as a 2-tier program so you can make even more commissions and beyond that, if you have products of your own you’d like to see brought to a massive audience, then you absolutely have to be a part of http://www.xaviernelson.com/access/to/dailydeal. I already am a part and you will be able to snatch insane deals on some of my own hot products even this month still and make some serious commissions too!

Ok, so today’s issue will probably be eaten by a lot of the filters again, that’s what I get for sharing so much in one newsletter. Guess I probably need to get some sleep so I don’t work so much eh hehehe…

One last item I want to tell you about. It appears that my friend Scott is taking a turn for the worse and will have to undergo some pretty serious surgeries and that also means ugly recovery time. Earlier this year I went under the knife 5 times myself and still am not fully recovered, so I know what Scott and his angel Sharlene are facing.
Please visit http://www.xaviernelson.com/access/to/reunion and see how you can get your hands on some his own creations. The main products are ALL Original Products from Scott & Sharlene. These are not a bunch of products you can get from dozens of membership sites and “firesales” online.

You get an Awesome Deal, and you help out Scott and Sharlene at the same time. It is a win-win situation waiting for you at http://www.xaviernelson.com/access/to/reunion.

Here’s to your success,
Xavier

P.S. I didn’t forget… I have one more gift, this one from my friend and mentor Willie Crawford of Internet-Marketing-Inner-Circle.com and you can download it right now directly from:
