Hello Nairalanders,

Are there 419ners on the internet? This question should have been better asked by someone who has either been totally blind to internet business or new to the internet business.

Maybe the latter is my case. I had just signed up to be an affiliate marketer and I fell in love with an advertised product on the net_they referred to the product as satellite tv on pc.

As a mark of a good marketer, I wanted to get the feel of this product first before marketing it. Can you believe what happened? According to the advertiser the price for the product was $49.95. I had no problem with the price. I placed an order and this was on 10 November,2008.

Could yo believe that up to now nothing has been sent to me to download as was stated in the ad? One would have thought that my order was not successful. It was. My mastercard was charged and an e_receipt was sent to me.

Having waited for about two days and sensed that nothing seemed to be forthcoming, I sent an email to complain. The reply?
""sorry if you have any problem with the product, complain to, " I was given another link to contact and I did for about three times, but there was and still no response. So does it mean my money ($49.95)[b][/b] has been thrown away just like that?

So, are there 419ners on the net? How do we know them? Have I played the fool? Could somebody link me to a genuine product of this kind? I love it for myself and for markeing.

welcome to the real internet world where 80% of the so called marketers marketing one product or the other are chronic trained and sophisticated liars. my advice to anyone dealing with them is to tell them to furnish you with proofs of their trade or ttransaction.
incase of sending money ask them of their client based and call any of those clients closest to you to verify their claims.
