  wow!!!

  That's real

  I mean look at these—> IMAGE1, IMAGE2, IMAGE3
  they would have to hire a person of such skill to draw those(hmmm, wonder what program they are using?)

  /sarcasm/ aside

  ---

  It is an (illegal) scam

  BUT if you do carefully do what the instructions say, you will easily get a 7-figure income in a year

  Haha this could an example of how not to make a site
  few links don't work or are recursive and yeah looks like graphic design didn't fit into the budget with all the 7 figure incomes these guys were earning.

  Did it accept paypal ie people might have some protection or is the $49.95 gone for good. Really wanna see their ABN number and report them!

  webs.com? seriously?

  I wouldn't trust a company if they are using a free web host, especially if they don't even have their own domain name.

  Just like an ad I have seen for a PC Repair guy, apparently he does website maintance/creation as well… he uses Hotmail for his email. Sure I know it's legit, but I would never trust him with my website.

      incredibly unprofessional >.>

      my friend's screening of people by email:

      yahoo,msn wtf -> just no
      hotmail -> get out. what is this year 2000?
      uni email -> they don't know how to use email outside uni?
      ISP email -> slightly better
      gmail -> they seem to at least know what they're doing
      private domain email -> looks promising

      also

      fairy/man/sugar/power adjective names: just no
      email composes of numbers : horrible but at least its better
      slight derivation of own name: yes
      own name: yes
      company name/position with company email or own name with company email: very yes

        I use gmail on my own domain ^_^

        For professional purposes I use my full name, otherwise my nickname.

        i was in employment services and the number of people applying for jobs with "69" or "sexy" in their email address was incredible.

        @spawnpoint

        PROTIP: Having a private domain primarily to make your email look much better (ie. [email protected]) is absurdly cheap or even free.

        Examples:
        Hosting: http://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/34854
        Domains: http://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/40218

        Such deals happen several times a year. Being arsed spending mere dollars gets results.
