About the Insider Helper - Rob Richardson

I'm frequently asked "Why do you do this?" by many of my friends I have made through being an Expert in Online Products & Services.
You see, I have a passion for not wanting to be taken as a fool by people trying to sell me scams or other ventures that are only intended to take my money.
This said, I would not be so silly to declare I am an expert in all online products and services. I only concentrate on those that appear to be to good to be true. If they are just "Guru" speak and not worth anything... I'll tell you. If it is good.... I'll tell you that to.

Back in the year 2000, I was looking like so many others, for an online business venture that would generate some money to help finance the purchase of a new car.
I did not fool myself in thinking that anything I started, would make me a millionaire over night like so many "Gurus" claimed I could become.
All I wanted was to make a few hundred dollars or even at best a thousand dollars just to help pay for the deposit on the car I had set my sights on.

I came across a so called "Marketing Guru" whose website claimed that by using his magical system, I could earn over $15,000 in one month. Straight away, I knew I would not make that type of money but if I could get to my $1000, I would be a very happy guy.
I paid my $149 for this so called amazing information and then download an eBook from the "Marketing Guru".

My heart sank and I felt sick as I opened the eBook only to find information I had read freely on other peoples websites but for free.
No problem, I thought, the "Marketing Guru" was offering a 30 day, full refund if not completely satisfied with you purchase guarantee.

I opened Outlook and wrote my email requesting a refund.
I hit the "Send" button and thought "Great, I should have my money back in a couple of hours".
HORROR.... The email bounced... No address recognised!!!

So there I was. $149 out of pocket with information I could have easily obtained myself from any search engine.

Totally fed up, to put it politely, I had to put it down to just back luck and I guess, bad judgement.
So what could I do about protecting myself from this type of scam in the future? Well the only thing I could really do was to do proper investigation of these types of offers before committing my money. Remember, I still need my deposit for the car and I was now an extra $149 down.

So to cut a really long story short, I began reviewing these "Get rich quick" systems and only pay for the ones that had a proven track record.
This later developed into me reviewing both online products and services as I found there were a lot of people making loads of money but not actually delivering anything of value.

Now, as I write this in 2009, I am recognised as being an Expert in reviewing online Products & Services. It has taken me many years to get to this status and amazes me as I never intend to do this in the first place.

So the answer to the question"Why do you do this?" is simple.
I enjoy making money legitimately and exposing the "Gurus" who offer you wealth yet deliver nothing and to be 100% honest, by looking for the real opportunities to tell you about, I help myself while trying them.

By the way... the deposit was found and the new car was excellent.
