Eric Rohrs’ lame advertising
For the 2nd or 3rd time in the last 6 months, I received a hand addressed envelope with no return address that was postmarked from Lancaster PA (within an hour from where I live). Inside the envelope was what appeared to be a newspaper article clipping and a post-it note. The post-it note was hand written and said:
William,
Try this – It workes! I just got two months no bills!
J
I guess I’m supposed to think I have a friend “J something” that I can’t remember who really likes this service and thought I needed it.
Then newspaper “article” turns out to be a clipping of a 1/2 page advertisement for a Eric’s debt management service cut out of a fake newspaper (it has a copy write notice 2006, TMS Inc. on the advertisement’s margin which is also on his website). If I was having financial difficulties, it would seem odd that I’d trust someone who is trying to market using deceptive advertising techniques.
