[Astro Boy]

His original marketplace sales thread (now closed) : https://hackforums.net/showthread.php?tid=4523320

Scammed by a seller "Splendid" who was making offers which were too good to be true about an eBook, BUT provides a "money back guarantee, no questions asked" policy on the method. He didn't refund me. I asked forcefully and he only refunded half.

His guide would technically work, but it's absolute bullshit quality, and you won't be benefiting from it until you put significant effort and retarded amount of actual work which constitutes a form of "scamming" which is what he's actually promoting. I won't go into details, but might have to if Splendid does not refund fully.

I'm sorry this couldn't work out as planned Splendid, but please refund me as you should. I just want my money back, but he's claiming that I'm blackmailing him...?

TL;DR: "he's selling ebooks on selling ebooks", against the marketplace rules and is a total scam


He would only refund half, owes me $23, and only after threatening him

Check out the guy's rep, lots of eBook scams

hey Splendid, I'm interested in purchasing the method

I just want to know if there's any particular skill or requirement to make this work? Any prerequisites or setups that would take time to plan and do?

Btw, I know you've only recently released the method. If you're claiming those two purchasers of your guide made $140 and $300 within a day, please sign me up. Let me know if this is true.

Thanks

This is what they told me, nitoh showed me proof, Iso didn't, but he has no reason to lie.

No true setup is needed, you're given the tools and the materials to do everything, so it is fast, there is ofcourse a pre-work need to be done, there is no magic money method without slight work, but it is slight, and it is autopilot afterwards so the effort is justified.

I personally started earning a few hours after applying it, so the fact they earned within a day is not really surprising to me.

Sounds good, I'll bite. Do you accept PayPal?

Do you also guarantee money back if this for some odd reason doesn't work for me? I would appreciate this if you're confident the guide is solid.

Splendid Wrote:
There is a refund option in one of the deals, just click the thread design to buy, it's through PP or BTC

Splendid, I skimmed through the guide... not impressed. It seems like the whole guide is about writing/selling ebooks. It's filled with a lot of fluff and BS. Really not pleased.

I don't believe I can strike gold writing ebooks, so I'm sorry to say I'd like a refund. Thanks.

You have to actually try to get income for me to refund you, and if you fail to get any income, I will refund you without any questions, also where is the fluff and BS? you're the only one out of all my customers who claimed that

I'm sorry, I can't seem to relate your guide to any income making methods. The fluff and BS are things like the "AIDA acronym" and the "screenshots" which take up an entire page. You could have seriously summed up the guide in 2 pages of writing or simply - write eBooks which make grand promises, such as:

Quote:
"CRAZY FUCKING INCOME $$", write ebooks and get people to buy them and they'll probably dispute your method because you're actually legitimately scamming them for common sense bullshit, but fuck it, you made mad money as a scammer"

(at least that's how I'm interpreting it) I'm not a good writer, so I definitely won't be trying to monetize by writing ebooks. It's ridiculous and unethical.

I seriously can't recommend this to anyone, but I won't voice my opinion if you're able to give me a refund.

Please don't dispute this. I demand a refund, no questions asked like you've mentioned. I can

Splendid Wrote:
Look, it states in the thread that if you buy you must prove you failed to make income by applying the method, and I'll refund you, I'm trying to go on the right course with you.

Please don't break the T.O.S.

Astro Boy Wrote:
Refund me half, that's all I'm asking. I won't try your method, I won't link it. I have already deleted the document from my computer.

Don't waste my god damn time and I'll keep quite your little scam. No questions asked, just like it should be.

Splendid Wrote:
You don't need to go mad bro, and no need to call me a scammer, I'll send half back to you, okay?
Sorry you found the ebook unusable.

Astro Boy Wrote:
Lol thanks for the reply, half as promised
You would be refunding me full if you were really pulling in the amounts on the PayPal screenshot... looks like total fake bullshit and I'll go ahead and rat you out on the forums as a scammer, that is if you don't refund the other half of my fucking money

got it?

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA Roflmao

enjoy the laugh, but I'm expecting a refund any minute now

plus a -rep to with the dispute thread linked to my comment

let me know what you choose

Step down your fantasy power trip kid Non

Here's his shitty "guide" he sold me for $35, while the method is plausible to make money from, it's certainly not original or worthwhile (password is: splendidthankyou):
edit: out of respect that the author of it actually may have put together some time into making the document, I've removed the download link

Doesnt this count as a ponzi scheme?
"Buy this ebook on how to sell ebooks"

[Sacred Symmetry]

Yeah, im on astroboy's side of the fight.
Hope this is resolved

[Kids]

Okay.

I've read it all, and I'm on your side aswell.

I hope you get your money back.

"Buy this ebook on how to sell ebooks"

That's the word I'm looking for!

His get rich by selling "intelligence property" is a direct translation to "sell scammy ebooks".

Look at this scam as well: https://hackforums.net/showthread.php?tid=4444269
I suspiciously believe that zSerity is either the same user as Splendid (multiple accounts), or he's using the same method to scam people. Check out the similarities between his ebook and the one I was sold on:

Yes, that would classify as a Ponzi scheme.
So I guess I'm on this guy's side.

Ah, the refunds are bullshit man. I can't believe that they rip you off, good to see that you value your money!
I made a little GIF for you bro, hope you enjoy. 😊

Thanks. That's exactly how I feel. I'm tired of HF and wish people out there not to part ways with their money easily. Take everything with a grain of salt. There is no such thing as a free lunch.

when are people gonna learn that almost all e-books are complete scams?
