Who Are Vincent James and Fabricio Cruz?
Well…he’s back. After being banned from the Internet for running a marketing scam for selling bogus male enhancement pills, Vinnie has returned with his same old unscrupulous tactics. Vincent James is VINCENT PASSAFIUME, who was busted and forced to forfeit $48 million in luxury homes, a fleet of cars and bank accounts to pay off victims. He has returned to prey upon yet another group of desperate people looking to make money online.
This time Vincent James is promoting the book of “How I made $77 Million In 2 Years and You Can Too”. His apparent partner is someone called Fabricio Cruz. I just saw their Google Adsense ad and had to write about it.
It is the usual nonsense as all get-rich-quick schemes are. It can mislead the general public and does everyday. These guys should be recognized as such. They are in the same league as the Rich Jerk. Why would anyone believe outrageous claims, even if they were true.
“How I made $77 Million In 2 Years and You Can Too” is supposedly top secret stuff and only costs you a mere $1.95 to find out. The fine print at the bottom of the ridiculously long sales page indicates that your credit card will be billed $38 more if you fail to cancel within a few days.
Is Vincent James a Scam?
People who purchased the product say it is only basic marketing material that can be found anywhere on the Internet. Vincent James is selling his product about how he did it. He openly tells you he was busted for bad practices. You just need to understand and recognize his practices this time. I can’t say whether or not it is a scam. But it surely looks deceptive to me.
Can Vincent James turn you into an Internet success within days?
I say, “Absolutely Not”! There are no legitimate get rich quick schemes on the internet or anywhere else. Get rich quick schemes are all fraudulent and as fake as a three dollar bills. It is possible to make a good living from the Internet. Many people do it. You must be willing to invest time and a little money in something that is never guaranteed. You need to learn a lot about the Internet and online marketing to succeed. And it takes hard work and time. Vincent James and Fabricio Cruz do not tell you that!
The Vincent James scheme really should be viewed as parody, but unfortunately it is not intended as such and it misleads too many people down the road of false hope. It looks like Vinnie would have learned this by now. But as long as people are falling for his marketing methods, Vinnie will make his money online. That is, of course, until he gets busted again.

Hi.
From what I read on their sales pitch that the “trial” is $1,95 and then after 15 days…
There is another extra charge of $38 ???
What for??? (or $98 didn´t got that info right!)
Please someone enlight us!

Hi Ivan,
yep, $1.95 only gets you on the hook for another $38 after 15 days.
Their upsells are as ridiculous as the content.
Pure crap with their selling of false hope.
That’s how they make money, simply taking advantage of others.

Hey guys,
I disagree. I was doing some research on this to see what others had to say about it and found the information (the $77 million ebook) to be quite helpful. The stuff that they teach is to provide value to people, so I’m not sure where you feel they are taking advantage of people. It’s called MARKETING. You do get quite a bit up front and $40, I’ve never gotten as much out of it.
Before anyone thinks that I’m him (in hiding or anything) I’m not, I’m a fan of direct response marketing and a student of online marketing. They are doing exactly as they teach.
But to each his own

Hi Terry,
I too am a fan of direct response marketing and a student of online marketing. Yes, Vincent and Fabricio are doing as they teach, I just don’t agree with what they teach.
You are right..to each his own….
