He is no different to the webmasters who infect your computers with spyware, no different from the webmasters who sell your email details to other parties and no different from any other scammer on the net whose only motivation is money, regardless of how ethical the methods they use to get it are. I emplore you not to give this guy another penny. I agree wholeheartedly with David Peralty who said ‘Don’t but Adsense Secrets‘. [...] [...] This kind of tactic disgusts me, it really does.

This kind of thing really boils my blood, I really dispise companies who do this. My friend Barry was telling me the other night about a site called http://www.posters.co.uk/, a UK site which sells posters. He bought a poster and 3 months later he noticed that a company was taking £8 from his account for vouchers. He called them to cancel and they asked why he wanted to cancel because he could get 10% off HMV and other stores if he spent over £50 a month. It's a complete scam and the poster company must have passed his bank details on. No doubt there was a checkbox already clicked that he missed which opted him in but it still doesn't make it right. I saw that <a href="http://www.adsense-secrets.com/apology.html" rel="nofollow">Joel Comm issued an apology</a> today but for me it doesn't carry any weight as he knew fine well what he was doing when he decided to rip his customers off.

I agree these practices look bad not only on people who create this type of nonsense, but also the people that promote it. I also think people that promoted this product shouldn't just update their posts, after the fact, but take a stand against this nonsense instead of playing the buddy system, with shiny affiliate links.

The idea is that you buy something up front at a greatly reduced price, but the catch is you're also signing yourself up to pay monthly fees on something else until you cancel. It's been used in offline marketing since forever. Remembe the old Columbia House thing where you got 11 tapes or CDs for 1cent but had to buy a CD at full price every month? Same deal. Fortunately, it's easier to cancel online payments than it was to dump Columbia House. But that doesn't make it any less distasteful.
