    I just found out he is 22 years old...

    So it figures......

    Although I think he needs to get a handle on himself. He is young and he has placed a lot of equity in his name. I would not be adverse to dragging his name through the truth for the next 10 years, myself... But perhaps that is not necessary.

    Yes, I am 22. No problem there.

    I have been very successful on the net.

    Pete is correct, I am basically pounding the crap out of all the "allegations" and you have no idea what to do, so you make up more stuff.

    As Nintendo aka Jesse Smith probably knows by now I do have a law team working on this. He should have received some paperwork by now.

    DigitalPoint should be receiving paperwork shortly from the law team.

    I actually may keep this post online since it proves how my customer service works.

    How many other marketers with top selling products on the internet would come to a forum and explain their products?

    I spent a lot of time showing you what I do and how my programs work.

    I have actually seen an increase in emails and inquires, this is great!

    It gives me a chance to talk to my customers and show them who I really am and that I offer EXCELLENT customer support!

    So keep bashing, have fun. Ill keep my eye on this thread in case it gets out of hand.

    No problem there.... except you act like your 16...



    Golf clap for you.


    Yeah "Pete" is the one you want to cite for credibility on this site. He is well-regarded and well-respected here.


    Duey, Cheatem and How? Are they the same ones you have place false classified ads in people's names and call up and threaten via relay operator? How do you think that will fly in court? How do you think your Charles Manson Defense of just telling people what to do will fly? Here is a link to some information for those of you who may not know about Charles Manson because he got locked away long before you were born.


    I believe Shawn said a court order would get him to shut the thread down. If it is not a court order, I am guessing it is not going to accomplish much.


    I agree. That is an excellent idea. It will let your affiliates know that you don't care what they do and they can spam to their hearts content. It will also let everyone else know how "mature" you are.


    Huh?


    So? That doesn't change your personality, who you are or excuse your juvenile behavior.



    I am expecting a commission.


    Are there any of your customers here? Why not open up forums for your own customers? That would be a great way to talk to them. Not sure I understand all your great business savy when you don't seem have known that you could communicate with your customers before now.


    Goodie gumdrops.. Would be better if you just went away.. But that is too much to ask from an egomaniac like yourself.

    I swear I've seen this all before....

    I'm 99.999% sure this isn't worth getting...

    Bottom line is his product is "real" but it's targetted at the same crowd that joins all the "make money while you sleep and retire in 1 year" MLM programs.

    Personally I would have a hard time sleeping at night selling this "product" but that's just me.

    edit - I decided to search make money while you sleep. Is there anything DP doesn't rank for, lol.

    Do you have any other lawyers on retainer besides your father?

    If your father saw this thread would he hug you or take you over his knee?

    I am done with this thread.. Costa is being too nice... It is creeping me out.

    To be honest, him being a student, "only" 22, using his father as a lawyer, etc. is all pretty irrelevant. I started Digital Point Solutions when I was 19, so...

    IMO the value of what he sells is questionable, but that's just for me (personally). He has said it's more geared towards beginner webmasters (which most people in this forum are not), so he really hasn't tried to mislead anyone as far as I know. From the little I know about it seems to be close to the grey area of AdSense TOS compliance, but that's between him (and his customers) and Google, and not me to decide. He's running a business, so whatever... hopefully he makes some money at it.

    Now what I *do* have a problem with is more generally about free speech, and the demands that I remove some thread that until he pointed it out, I didn't even know about. For anyone that knows me, someone telling me I *have* to do something (or else I'm going to be sued) is the best way for me to NOT do whatever it is.

    That has been the issue all along though. He purposefully came here to try and bully and intimidate people in order to try and protect his name. Only problem is his name wasn't really lessened or damaged in the first few posts of the thread, which lead him here to begin with...

    And as for age... to me it is an issue.. There are always exceptions.. I had my own when I was very young as well.. but that doesn't mean everyone is suited or capable in acting responsible and even beyond that it doesn't mean you don't tend to make less discriminate moves when you are younger. I think his father is relevant because he is threatening everyone at a turn of a hat.

    Finally, considering what he did today I think he is an irresponsible kid with a big ego. I don't care what his software programs or websites do or don't do. They guy has zero credibility in my opinion.

    I don't really take to people trying to threaten, bully and intimidate people, and that was his m.o. here from the time he got here. So for me... I don't care about the rest of it except for that. It is a coward's game to run around the internet bullying and threatening people the way he has.

    If I was in your shoes, I would call him back and give him a nice talk. It would be great content for the Blog too :)

    Well tell him and his affilates to stop sending me spam! I don't understand why google allows him to avertise on adwords, his program seems to be meant to rip people off of money. Sorry Costa Dedes but have you read our first Amendment of the bill of rights? I wish I had a pr 7 site to help google bomb this thread with. :D

    How many people are getting these "papers" by the way? Is it just Shawn and Nintendo or will everyone in this thread be included?

    The reasons his threats are so ridiculous are

    1.) There is no case there. I can back up everything I have said so it a threatened lawsuit using words like libel and slander is just a joke
    2.) Our system works different here in Ireland. The loser pays all the court costs and the winners legal costs. On top of that if I can turn around and prove he had no reasonable expectation of winning, I can get damages automatically awarded. This protects people from filing just to try to bankrupt the other party.

    The US system seems to be a "no risk" system where as you better have a good case here as otherwise a loss can mean a six figure plus financial loss.

    Things to ponder anyway.

    Seems lot of clones in the net

    Look at this - even the title, testimony, most content all similar.... except the name.

    Costa Dedes or Sebastian Foss who is the original?

    They are all affiliates. You sign up with his program and you get your own site. Your reward for promoting it is a percentage of every sale.

    The text on that site is common with "get rich quick" type offerings.

    I suspect the only way people are making money is by reselling it themselves, not by using the actual software

    Just that description alone shows it will cause you to violate the Google TOS and be banned before you get your first check

    There are lots of 'clones' with any product on ClickBank.

    If that's Costas program, that person will be an affiliate of his who'se setup their own page.

    Look: http://www.sitstayfetch.net/affiliates.html

    That's a product which affiliates can advertise, and they provide you with content to help you do this. All good affiliate managers will provide content for their affiliates to work with, set up their own pages, etc. Yadda.

    Ok - can someone explain to me what this whole thing is about? I do not understand what "swapclix" is or what it does. All it seems to me is that the guy is trying to sell some book on how to increase revenue. That site everyone seems to be linking to is poorly designed anyway. How is he earning money through it?

    makes no sense.
