I get a spam mail today with the subject of "a bit overwhelmed".

That subject kinda matches what new website buyers use when they contact me, so I open the mail. But it's not from someone looking for help, it's from a marketer who's overwhelmed by the demand for his product.

When I decided I was going to give away the Open Source Code and PLR to my most highly sought after piece of software, I had originally thought it would take AT LEAST 2 weeks for 50,000 people to download it.

Boy was I wrong...

We reached the 50,000 download mark a few days ago and just hit 60,000 today!

He's so overwhelmed that he has to spam me to tell me to join the rush

If you haven't yet secured your instant download access to the script, then you still can now at...

No, Mike, I'll pass, I don't want to overwhelm you any more.

There is more discussion of him on the scam.com forums thread in which he provides a defence. And if there's a yournameSUCKS.com website around (here) then you can consider that you've really made it!

He even has a Wikipedia page which says: "He is perhaps best known for his Butterfly Marketing; based on a site building software and video package that teaches people how to start and manage their own Internet Marketing business."

The Wiki page has been marked for deletion for a while but, till then, people - like you! - do edit the Wikipedia page to add little advisory notes saying it's a scam.

Mike Filsaime, gotcha! And if you hadn't spammed me I wouldn't have gone digging on ya and you wouldn't have attracted all this bad publicity in front of your core audience.

I'm on the Andy Jenkins mailing list and I also got the offer from him of downloading Filsaime's open source software "that was part of a $2000 package." I was wondering whether the software was peppered with links to one of his sites, but that's just my suspicious mind working.

Andy Jenkins - I used a dummy email address for that one and got tired of his and Brad Fallon's antics, sensational headlines and hype. But they did take me off the list when I unsubscribed.
