You know those websites? The ones that start with “Dear friend”? and offer an e-book, vitamines and other wonders of the world that is a must buy. They have a lot of reasoning and teasing text why you need to buy their products and use all the right terms that “Big Pharma” uses in their TV commercials. In case of e-books they always show a picture of a 400 page real book. Believe me when I tell you that is totally bogus. Most of the e-books sold on such websites are just a 100 pages long in a PDF form, large print and very general in content. I actually did read some of those e-books and would never buy one from them. They are offered on e-bay with resale rights for 1 dollar a piece. I know their are e-books that are really helpful and are well written and high in content but if you see a site that looks like a one page site teasing you with lots of reasons, offering you free aditional e-books, have a lot of “customer satisfaction” and end with a paypal link totally on the bottom. I would stay away, its just a money rip off.
Another common teaser now is revealing the secrets of <name of something> or cheating with <name of something>. No wonder people do not believe anything anymore.
