EMAIL Hell - Sebastian Foss Still Needs to be Stopped

by Ferdinand T Cat

Sebastian Foss has discovered a new way to cheat people. It's called the Google Cash Machine, and unlike his previous schemes, which generate new kinds of spam, this one involves taking money directly from the pockets of other businesses. The Cash Machine sets up web pages with Google AdSense, then clicks through the ads to generate income. Google advertisers are aware of this problem and are taking steps to prevent it, so the cash machine will be running out of cash very soon.

Bruce consistently wonders whether Mr. Foss is genuinely evil, or if he's merely too stupid to understand the difference between right and wrong. The evil version of Sebastian Foss has just learned that his latest money-making scheme is about to become obsolete, so he's selling the technique to milk as much cash as he can from people who don't realize they're buying a Cinderella dress a few minutes before midnight. The stupid version thinks that anything which is not explicitly illegal is acceptable, and wants to share his tricks with the world.

Based on the prevalence of testimonials like this and this, I'm voting for evil.

If you are tempted to buy one of this man's products, don't; however, if you know where he lives, there are several thousand bloggers and web site owners who want to help him understand how we all feel about what he does.

Respectfully submitted,

Ferdinand T. Cat

Honestly, I am amazed that anyone could imagine "Ad Blaster" to be even remotely worthwhile or moral. Anything we can do to stop it benefits everybody, especially those who advertise with or earn money from Google AdSense.

Fortunately, when someone does a Google search for "Sebastian Foss", one of the things they see near the top of the list is this article. If I keep even one decent person from using his evil products, it's a good thing.

Thank you. He is evil. He just keeps coming. More and more product. More and more lies.
He has a Mike Glaspie testimonial on his latest pos and I have just mailed MikeG to see if he even knows its there.

I think the best bet on these occassions is to fight fire with fire.

Let the marketing community loose on his sorry mess.

Foss has a new site called The CashCreation system. Judging from what I read above sound like he has another evil plan to catch out us suckers.

Well, he sends out spam emails to promote his scams. Where he lives spamming is considered crime. So why not translate the local spam report form into a more common language to turn him in? Here you go:

He made it a guarentee, and i was stupid enough to not google his name :(

However, I have reported him as a fraud to Visa, and mastercard, who both being very lage companys, should be able to do something.

Watch out one & all for Sebastian's 'Income Builder'. Arrived via spam in the last few days.
I presume he thinks we don't know what Google Adwords is. No out-of-pocket expenses to earn hundreds of dollars? M'thinks not!

This person Sebastion foss is a farce and i feel quite confident that this is not his true name according to associates.
I personally blame some of the people promoting his scams through emails as they have not for sure checked upon him or looked up about what he has done so far.

Each email i get personally from someone promoting one of "Sebastion scammer Foss"
money scam schemes goes immediately into the trash and sender is blocked forever!

I was actually about to buy one is new product (plugin-income com) before i stumbled upon this blog.
However, i'll be very much obliged to get a report, should an investigation be done on this site,(plugin-income com) because it sounds too good to be true.

Thanks for being here! SebFoss sent me an email this morning about the CashCreastion System. I found you and I am so thankful! I have wondered
why I have a creepy feeling when I read his emails!

He is still going very strong, and I have purchased 2 products from him that don't even work.

There is no such think as 'easy money' ... Those who fail to undertand this simple truth of life are the no 1 victim candidates for scams like this.
And besides, if its not Mr. Foss, will be Mr. Somebody. If you shut one of them, another (perhaps the same persona) will show up, same as mushrooms :)

roll up your sleeves, people!
