I guess I'm not a newbie anymore.

I received an email about a free report with "tons of bonuses". I clicked on the link, yeah ok, there was on opt-in, I "got access", received the email, no free report, just a link, clicked on it, there were 5 or 6 links, all tiny or bud urls, no "right click" to get the report".

Before, I would have clicked on the links to get my report and bonuses.

This time, it annoyed me. What would have happened ? Multiple OTOs, with a tiny link at the bottom of the pages saying "ok, you can get the report only, but you will lose the opportunity of a lifetime, blah blah blah"

I closed the page before clicking on any of the hidden link, and unsubscribed to the new list immediately.

BTW, when I opted in, it took me to a page with the now well-known guru ripoff formula that we see so many times these days. To understand what I'm talking about, see Mark Durisse here

Don't worry, this is not an affiliate link, it's not my blog, I'm not associated to Mark Durisse in any way. It's just an awesome blog post with a very informative video showing a recent trend by IM gurus to rip off new IM people with software that don't work.
