This is very sad that certain marketers scamming other marketers, and unaware newbies with software in order to be-rich themselves - to other people's expense.
Tom Lucas, the inventor of this software, or so he claims, tells people that this software is the real thing and that you can make a lot of money from it, if you follow their instructions. I bought it because "you won't lose anything as I personally give you a 60 day money back guarantee, no questions ask," he said, but all that lovely talk is all it is.
I bought this software six weeks ago and follow the instructions as they gave it in the member's area. But when it comes to the point where the software is supposed to take you further, it stops with an error.
I contact support with this email:
"Hi
I have installed autoblogsyndicate and tried to load
everything as you have told me. I'm totally confused now
because nothing works. I just don't know what I have to
do, what I'm supposed to do or what to fill in in all the spaces.
I tried hostjest, hostmonster, but I always get this message:
32x3x3 (this indicates how many times I tried to get through the whole process but end at a dead end.)Warning: mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect]: Can't connect to MySQL server on 'intmall.info' (4) in /home/autoblog/public_html/
Error connecting to MySQL server:
Can't you provide a video where you can show me step by step to do
it. Because I really want to use this, but it's a week since I bought this
product and I still can't get one blog up and on the go.
I'm starting to thing that this might be a scam because I'm standing
in front of wall
Hope to get an answer soon
Thank you"

I tried again and again and ask other savvy marketers to help me and they too got the same error. I wrote to Autoblog Syndicate again and again and then I warned them that I'm going to set up a blog and tell people about this.
I recieved this email back from them after nearly 4 weeks.
"Hi,
Thanks for your email.
We take the quality of our software very seriously, so if it is not functioning properly for you, we want ot find out why. Could you please provide more information to help us trouble shoot and isolate the issue.
Could you please tell us:
- Which step the problem happened on
- Which browser and version are you using?
- The button or link you clicked right before obvserving the problem
- Which host you are using
- Which theme you chose (if you got to that step)
- The install path of your site (if you got to that step)
- The URL of your final blog (if it was created)
Many thanks,"
I answered each and every question and till today there's no reaction. I even sent an email directly to Tom Lucas again with no results even from him. I asked my money back, still with no results or any reaction and then I gave them 72 hours. The 72 hours ended on the 8th of March.
I was still fair to them and gave them another week, written another email and then I had it. It's 4 days since the last email and now it's time to tell people that Autoblog Syndicate doesn't meet there own criteria at all.
I lost $37 and people like Tom Lucas and Autoblog Syndicate give marketers a bad name and taste in the mouth.
Tom Lucas is no man of his word.
Be Warned! Autoblog Syndicate is a scam!
