StoresOnline.com Seminar Watch Out!!!

So I get a fancy mailer from Storesonline.com today for a FREE Denver Dinner Conference.

It says "Make Serious Money On The Internet"

They throw the Google, Yahoo!, eBay & MSN logos at the top of the page and then begin their sales pitch on why I should go and bring a guest to the FREE LUNCH OR DINNER SEMINAR.

Now I am not saying they are scam artists, but there is a t least a significant amount of bait and switch going on.

First of all-no meal until the 90 minute presentation-no big deal, and it's probably a good idea to create a social and casual environment after a seminar. I make think of a way to use this idea to some degree for my seminars.

What really annoys me and raises a red flag is the bait and switch:

They have a picture of 2 iPod shuffles in the mailer, and right below the pictures it says; "FREE MP3 Player* for you and your guest."

I thought-"Cool-Maybe I will go and get a $70 iPod shuffle and check it out."

However, the "*" goes like this: "Storesonline.com offers offers goods which would allow purchasers to develop a website for selling the product of their choice [re: software]" it goes on to say you may choose to receive a free MP3 that is NOT an iPod shuffle, or receive a mail-in coupon for redemption of an iPod shuffle plus S & H.

If one of the tactics they are going to teach you is to bait your prospects in full color and switch in the fine print, and you are uncomfortable with that, then I would avoid this "sales pitch" disguised as a seminar.

To be fair, they do not claim to be honest or to have integrity, but with so many scam artists out their I have to recommend avoiding this program at this point.

Last, if you want to schedule a truly educational seminar that is not a sales pitch, please contact me at your convenience. My name is Dan Stratford and my number is 720-985-7945.

As you can see, while I am by no means a Saint-I am not trying to hide anything.
