This offer for a free Internet identity protection DVD came across our desk this morning. We don’t know Mr. Bell, so can’t vouch for him, but we did look at the site, and it does indeed appear to be a genuine offer:
“Free Internet Identity Theft Protection DVD
Identity theft costs individuals and businesses $55 billion and affects as many as 10 million Americans. Microsoft Certified Professional releases free Internet Identity Theft Protection DVD to help amatueur computer users avoid becoming victims.
(PRWEB) August 5, 2005 — Microsoft Certified Professional, Andre Bell, announced the new release of his 5-Step Internet Identity Theft Protection DVD to begin shipping the latter part of August 2005.
Identity theft affects as many as 10 million Americans and costs individuals and businesses $55 billion. With an increase in internet surfers moving to broadband connections, online attacks continue to rise.
After Andre lost all of his personal and business files to an aggressive virus attack several years back, he determined to learn how to protect himself from becoming a victim of Internet exploits and vulnerabilities ever again.
Andre said, “Protecting myself is all well and good but there are other people who are in the same position that I used to be in who need help protecting their computers.”
After Andre left the technical support industry to pursue business consulting full-time, many of his friends and family continued to ask for technical support help and continued to refer other people to him for help too.
Andre said, “Every home computer I’ve looked at over the past three years has been infected with spyware or Trojans or both. The problem is especially dangerous for anyone new to computers because most don’t know how to check for dangers that may be lurking in the background of their computers even when they are not connected to the internet.”
Andre originally created his Internet Identity and Hacker Protection DVD which shows people in plain language how to use mostly free and open source software to protect themselves from the five most common computer threats he’s seen, so people will know how to protect themselves from serious threats.
Andre said, “Now anyone with access to a DVD drive or stand-alone DVD player can learn for themselves how to protect their identity against hacker’s and computer spies without dropping computers off at my house.”
Andre’s Internet Identity Theft Protection DVD will remain freely available to individuals, schools and fund raisers if requested online at www.andrebell.com/dvd/”

Your ad for Andre’s Internet Identity Theft Protection DVD states that this product is FREE. You are mistaken. When you go to his site, you will have to pay 2.95 to get this item, an amount ostensibly to cover P&H. That, of course, is crap. You’ll get a 15 cent DVD using about 25 cents of postage for your 2.95. There is nothing FREE about this offer at all.

That would be $6.95 USD for International Orders. By the way, why do you need a whole DVD if it’s only a 5 step plan and shows you “how to use mostly free computer software to protect yourself from the five most common computer threats I�ve seen”. Why not just put the 5 steps on the web and link to the MOSTLY free software. I wonder if there is commission on the software that is NOT free? And do I really want an Identity Protection DVD from someone who knew nothing 5 years ago, has become a Microsoft Certified Professional and now advertises (http://www.andrebell.com/dvd/contact.html) himself under the banner “Andre Bell Consulting Group - Guaranteed Response Marketing Systems”. The more I look around his site the more I’m convinced that this is just a ploy to get people on a mailing list and sucker them into spending hundreds of dollars for his advice. Maybe I’m just jaded, or is that appropriately cautious.
I wonder if #1 on his marketing tips list is give away (for the costs of P&H) some general info freely available at thousands of sites on the web, and get the offer promoted through gulible blog writers across the globe.
I previously had a higher opinion of your blog. But will forgive the occassional bad day.
