Internet Charlatan
A charlatan (also called swindler or mountebank) is a person practicing quackery or some similar confidence trick in order to obtain money, fame or other advantages via some form of pretense or deception.
How can you tell between true and false, real and fake.
There are at least 3 basic building blocks of logic necessary:
- Absolutes
- Moral values
- Cognitive Understanding
What used to take place at the open market place, before the dawn of the modern day digital technology, it now takes place on the internet.
The place to find it is at the web sites that advertise services that will make you money on the internet. Making money on the internet is a broad term, and some of them are legitimate, honest, good will customer services. However there are many things that they have in common, and some of them that i have discovered are:
- They false advertise
- They tell blatant lies
- Often hide and conceal the true facts
- They use third party actors for video and audio presentation
- The initial cost is only the “tip of the iceberg”.
There is no individual “customer”, including you, the “customer” is a large mass volume, a small fraction of the business campaign income.
You as a “customer”, is just one name and email address on a list of maybe 1000, 10,000, 100,000 or more per each advertiser.
The nature of the internet, and internet business, is that of mass volume customers. Like a drag net in the ocean, catching all types of fish and sea life, including unintended by-catch.
They use the power of a written/audio/video messages, a message and a script that is produced by professional services and professional actors to win the confidence of the audience.
