I heard that the owners of LawnChair Millionaire, whoever they are, put a lot of study into creating this business.
From what I gather...
1. They obviously studied psychological scare tactics, how to get people to quickly join something by showing us rapidly increasing amounts of money on a website and saying that amount of money will decrease if we take too long to decide to join. That's a high-pressure tactic bordering on duress.
2. They studied how to generate a double opt-in list, first visitors need to enter our email address and first name, then after receiving the email from them, on the second visit we need to enter the activation code and our email address again. That's what's known as a verified double opt-in. LCM can now sell all those email addresses with first names, and also sell the full postal addresses of the people who paid, they can sell that information over and over to list companies. LCM can rake in a huge backend income from everyone's contact information. Do you know how valuable the names and addresses of buyers are? VERY valuable, and LCM can make multiple sales of the same list.
3. They studied how to deceive people about the investment involved. They put together a multi-page website which deliberately left out information on additional costs, and then they have the gall to charge people extra for the payout debit cards if they make fewer referrals or no referrals. LCM is charging people money if those members don't make any sign-ups. That in itself sounds absolutely illegal, to be expected to pay MORE for the card that pays you, just because you don't recruit, even though the business says "no recruiting necessary."
