Lottery Book Rip-Offs - 7 Secrets to Spotting Lottery Book Cons

Unfortunately, lottery book scams are fairly common on the internet - Here are some Key Points to look for.

1. Is there a No-Questions-Asked, Money Back Guarantee? If not, leave the website immediately. Here is an extremely important point most people do not know about refunds. If the website mentions your purchase is through "ClickBank" it is pretty safe. You see, ClickBank is the Payment Agent for the site, and if you are unhappy with your lottery book purchase then ClickBank will refund you directly - Even if the actual seller ignores you.

This is important. I have purchased lottery books, asked for a refund, and either been ignored or gotten drawn into a lengthy process, both of which are designed to make you give up on your refund. In those cases, I simply approached ClickBank direct and they fixed my refund request immediately.

2. Do you really know WHO you are dealing with? Look for Names, Email Addresses, Phone Numbers. People do sell on the Internet and deliberately make it very difficult to contact them - or even identify them! A little bit about the Author, a photo, maybe TV appearances they have made or Articles they have written - all of this adds up to a real person, selling a real product.

3. Do you really know WHAT you are getting for your money? If the website is vague about what is in your lottery book - there is probably a good reason for it! At least one lotto book author actually has a video on the website that illustrates what is in the book, but a Contents Page or an Overview is probably sufficient.

4. Are there examples from the lottery book? Maybe a Free Lotto System on the website, or an Excerpt from the Lottery Book? Also, look for "evidence" that does not stack up. Lotto book scams often have so-called Testimonials from people like JohnD, USA; maybe, maybe not. Also claimed successes may warrant a second look. The success stories are often "If Only" stories, along the lines of "$5 Million Lotto First Prize" in big letters and "If only I had not taken my cat to the vets, got stuck in a traffic jam - and missed putting my coupon on!" in very small print.

If they really have won the lottery - trust me, the lottery check would be on the website!

5. Does it sound "too good to be true?" If so, it probably is. The ONLY way to Guarantee First Prize is to play every single combination; nothing else works. If the lotto book website offers "to improve your chances of winning" then it may be legitimate; if it is promising the earth, you may well be looking at a lotto book scam.

"Too good to be true" often brings up the question, "If you can win the lottery, then why are you selling lotto books?" While it is a good question, it is not necessarily an indicator of a lottery book scam. Warren Buffet has more money than he can ever spend; So does Bill Gates; So does Donald Trump, and so on. None of these people will ever give up working, but it is no longer about the money. Scarcity mentality programs people to say "If I had enough money, I would quit working." Prosperity Consciousness programs people to want to keep improving, both as people and financially. So, ask the question, but consider where the Author is coming from, and judge the lottery book on its merits.

6. Is the website "Consistent?" Probably the best advice on avoiding Lottery Book Scams is to delay the purchase 24 hours. You may well wake up next morning thinking, "Hey, that does not make sense." Some examples? What about a website that tries to force you to buy with scarcity tactics? Examples are lottery books that are only available for a limited number of copies or for a limited time only.

This is designed to make you rush into the purchase today; tomorrow you may wake up wondering about the best lottery book ever - only 500 copies will be sold - And yet the website is two years old:-) The tip is to look at the website copyright info at the bottom of the site for the year, or better still look for the domain record details (the copyright info is set by the webmaster, the whois info is externally controlled).

The info in a website footer can be revealing. At least two lottery books that you think are USA-Based are actually controlled by companies domiciled in "exotic locations." This begs the question, Why?

Leaving your purchase 24 hours can often throw up some interesting questions.

7. Beware the "Affiliate Review." Many so-called Lotto Book Reviews are simply sales pitches; this is true of many things sold on the internet (especially internet marketing products), not just lotto books. Asking if the product is a scam is a common technique to get you interested, so that affiliates (commission agents) can persuade you it is not a scam, get you to buy and make them a commission.

It is also important to distinguish between lottery book scams and lottery books that are not suitable for your needs. If you buy a lotto book that is aimed at 6-ball lotteries and expect it to help you with Powerball, it is never going to work. Even with the best lottery books, from the most ethical authors, make sure that the lottery book you are buying is fit for your purpose.
