Every once in a while I will get a call from someone that is a long time family associate or, friend of a friend that knows I enjoy freedom outside of punching someone's time-clock and the conversation is always strange and slightly insulting.
Usually the convo begins with a somewhat overly excited middle aged person on the other line trying to use old commonalities to ease into the real reason of why they actually called me in the first place. Then they either open the door with a question or the good old "I have a business proposition" line and it is at that very moment that I am scrolling through my phone to put this number on my list of blocked callers.
Sometimes if I am in a decent mood and have gotten my workout in I will allow them to mouth fart until they get to the part about how great this latest ripoff scheme has been for them and then (depending on how well I know them) I will kindly ask 1 or 2 qeustions I know they can't possibly answer then end the conversation politely. But I would love to say "Look dipshit! You barely know how to turn on a computer let alone be a successful affiliate marketer. Oh and by the way that hillbilly snake oil salesman that you just sent 10k of your 401k to, that you worked 40 + years in an asbestos filled factory to earn, is probably laughing at your gullible a$$ a lot harder than I am." .....
But I was raised better than that. So I just chill. But this latest scheme that I keep getting approached with is called zeek-rewards and although I haven't put the time or effort into figuring this Scam out people are sending these guys major money for promises of abnormal rates of return on their money. The only reason I even posted this here is because these people are using the guise of affiliate marketing and I suspect that once this blows up it will put a stain on the industry. I freaking despise businesses like this. Both people that have approached me thus far are in their 60s and I didn't have the heart to tell them they were being taken to the cleaners. Besides they wouldn't have listened.
Someone please check these guys out and give me your analysis or past experience with these charlatans. I smell a huge rat. Plus there are lots of negative comments about them on the web. ZeekRewards - The Rewards Program of a Lifetime!
