Internet Income Training, C. Rex Sanderson, Internet Marketing Conference ripoff, scam, dishonest Seattle washington

I don't get it. Why do all of you say this Internet Marketing Company ripped you off???? I think you are looking at this the wrong way. We are adults. We all know there is never something for nothing so you know going in that they are going to be trying to sell you something.

This is what they offered you:
Free admission;
free lunch;
Free business organizers;
Free training materials.

Now if you didn't get any of those things then they ripped you off. HOWEVER if you did get those things then they didn't rip you off. So you didn't like what they were selling. You didn't have to buy it. Did you think these were nice guys visiting your city and just wanted to buy you lunch and make your acquaintance?

What the heck, I had no intention of purchasing whatever they were selling. I didn't have anything to do that day so I got a free lunch and a couple gifts. Actually met a few nice people attending as well. Where's the harm?

Maybe if more of us took advantage of what they are giving and ignored what they are trying to sell, they would eventually give it up as a bad marketing idea because they keep treating people to lunch and don't get a payback.

Just another way of looking at things.

About two weeks ago a guest and I attended what I believe is the same "seminar." I use the term "seminar" only because that is the verbiage the company uses.

The hour and a half long "seminar" is not at all informational. It merely espouses the potential benefits of internet-based businesses and self-employment, then throws out a few bones to generate interest in an upcoming full-day seminar, which the promote extensively throughout the presentation.

The full-day seminar is only $20, so it might be worth taking a day off to attend. I didn't sign up, though. No secret was made of the fact that, at the end of that seminar, participants would have the opportunity to purchase a turnkey web site and all the supporting resources, and what the price would be (not cheap!).

So, basically, the short seminar is a come-on to the longer seminar, and the longer seminar is a come-on to the web package. What lies beyond that I don't know.

I do not see this organization as a ripoff or scam. In fact, they were very up front with everything they said they were going to do. Marketing their short presentation as a "seminar" was pushing it a bit, but overall they weren't doing hard sell and, as I said, were very up front with everything. The only thing I would question is the ultimate value of their product, and it's just that: a question. I have no way of knowing the answer to that.

But heck, we got a free meal out of the deal. That, plus the fact that the "seminar" was free, pretty much set my expectations to "low," which proved to be the case.

Now, to comment on two points in the OP, misspelling a city name is embarrassing, but not an indicator of a scam, IMO. Furthermore, treating the venue as responsible for the integrity of the presenter is preposterous. If nothing illegal or immoral is taking place, it is not their call. As stated, their only interest is in renting the space and selling the food service, which is perfectly appropriate business.

If anyone has any further info on this organization past the day-long seminar stage, I'd be interested in hearing it.
