Stupid Tesla Site #1: NikolaTeslaSecret.

NikolaTeslaSecret.com

Let's simply begin by quoting a couple lines from their "Disclaimer & Hold Harmless Agreement."

From http://www.nikolateslasecret.com/terms-disclaimer.php
"No warranty is expressed or implied concerning the suitability of the Technology or related information. The Technology is purely experimental; therefore no specific results can be guaranteed for any purpose or application."

A little further down on that page:
1. There is no warranty that the Technology is merchantable or that it is fit for a particular purpose or area.
I had to check to see exactly what "merchantable" meant  (to be honest...I've never used that word in a sentence), and dictionary.com indicated that "merchantable" meant:
Suitable for purchase or sale; marketable: "of merchantable quality"

More, and I quote...
6. Since the knowledge provided with the Technology, as well as on the Publisher's web site, are provided AS-IS, there is no warranty for the Technology, to the extent permitted by applicable law. Except when otherwise stated in writing the copyright holders and....  BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH.   (Just to be clear, the "BLAH's are mine-- but they might as well have been on the actual webpage, for all the cryptic legal baffle-gab that's there).  If the site developer had actually spent more time spell-checking, standard grammer-checking and oh-- maybe actually proving that the devices and documentation meet any sort of scientific criteria (let alone English grammatical criteria), they might have been spared from this list.  As it is-- they are the reason I've started this list. (The "Tesla Secret" document, which accompanies your purchase is such a  joke and is... so poorly written, that I am convinced it was written by someone who's first language is not English).

They have a "Zero-Tolerance For SPAM" page (http://www.nikolateslasecret.com/report-spam.php).  Good on 'em, I say.  We don't want any of that evil SPAM/sludge clogging up our mailboxes and internet lines.

What I like the most about this "site", is that they start off with a really bad Youtube video that supposedly shows "Proof of Concept."-- (using $2 worth of parts); a video in which, if you click through to the actual Youtube page itself (video found here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vko8pfnX_w0&feature=player_embedded -- you'll discover that the area where you normally can post comments on Youtube) --  has been disabled, as in:


"Adding comments has been disabled for this video."

My favorite part of the video is where he uses the "contraption" to charge his cell phone.

Then the site goes on to talk about "Saving your cold hard-earned cash" (some of which is being chewed up by reading their page BTW).  Can't argue with the saving money thing -- we all want to save money.  And we'll discuss money shortly.

They go on to spout some pseudo-science-- pulling quotations completely out of context, and hit the reader with HUGE red type -- statements that should amount to the kill ... the closing of the deal (as they say in business school) - "hook, line and sinker."  Nikola Tesla did work on acquiring energy from the "atmosphere", and from the earth and magnetic fields.  He was an honorable man, and did want to give it to the world for free.  That much is true. The humanity of this genius is not in question.  The exploitation of this genius is.

If you believe that a  $2 handful of diodes and capacitors (as demonstrated in the video) can pull electricity from the air, my email address is stupidteslasites@yahoo.com, and I will mail you a crisp $100 bill (even in US currency -- although by the time you read this, the US dollar might not be worth any more than a Belize dollar).  So between the fact that no one will challenge me on this, and the sinking value of the US dollar, I think my investment if pretty safe.

Now, to be fair, the $2 device they demonstrate in the Youtube video is likely not the same as the one you have to drop $240 to gain access to in a "Member's Area".  Ho-ho-ho!  Wait, here comes the bait and switch (it's really only $47-- keep reading).

There are a number of "Products" -- I'm thinking documents-- that you can purchase -- documents that talk about everything from using Magnets and your Phone to get FREE energy, to oh-- wait-- Real Publications.

These are:

• "The Renewable Energy Handbook" -- Their Price: $40; We found it for $29.95 HERE.
  
• "Living Green" - Tips for Reducing Your Carbon Footprint" -- Their Price: $37; We found it FREE on several websites: HERE , (including in PDF format HERE). 
• "Gas Saving Devices" -- Their Price: $35.99; We found it FREE (on several sites and in PDF format , HERE for example).  If you really feel compelled to pay something, get it as an e-book at Amazon.com for .99 cents HERE.
• "Fuel Efficient Vehicles" -- Their Price:  $34; We couldn't even find a print copy of this one (must be such a hit that they ran out of them).  You can get it as an e-book at Amizon.com for .99 cents HERE.

You can buy these individually, or buy the whole kit and kaboodle for $240 (or $290-- it's not immediately obvious what the correct value is on the site, to be honest).  But wait-- there's more.  If you act now, or any time after you've read their webpages, you can get EVERYTHING for $47.  Yes, you heard me right!  Did I mention there was a DVD included?

We can't forget the other 2 "Bonuses."

"Magnets 4 Energy"
"Phone 4 Energy"

Where to even begin??  "Magnets 4 Energy" is all over the internet with fake testimonials.  It basically explains how to create a perpetual motion machine -- which anyone with any physics knowledge (grade 10 Physics should work... OK, maybe Grade 9) will know that it is completely impossible.  Go HERE  (NLCPR.com) to read what you would really be getting if you drop your hard earned cash on ANY of these Scams -- they are everywhere, kind of like a bad case of the flu.  Magniworks appears to be the kingpin (or linchpin, bobby-pin, pin-head) of this fiasco-- or perhaps some other nebulous, crack-pot entity.... hard to say.  I checked the ownership of the various domains that report positive results with the junk, and they are all over the map, yet in many ways connected.  This is either a well-organized scam, or a whole bunch of other "mis-informed business-men" that have been taken in by this shyster.  A message to these so-called business-men:  You are in on the scam, or you're plain naive and kinda dumb.

Real-life Person: Ryan

Do I have to even go into "Phone 4 Energy?"  Same kind of sites, except whoo-hoo-- we have a real-life picture of a real-life person on a real-life phone!  You can see him pictured over on the right there.  I'm guessing he's sucking the energy into his ear.


As you progress through the site, we discover you can gain access to the "Member's Area" where the magical Tesla plans resides (plus the other standard fuel and energy saving documents-- most of which, as we've indicated above are free) for just $47.  My guess is, if you hurry, they'll throw in an additional "Member's Access" code for free!

Am I starting to sound like a "Slap Chop" commercial?  Except not nearly as amusing-- and you've not even got to see my nuts.

Oh-- here's the dealeo-- a bit further down, right under the name of the "Founder of NikolaTeslaSecret.com", Ben Miller (with a signature made out of a "signature-type" font-- not a real signature)-- which reads:  better hurry-- "there's only 8 more spots left at that incredibly low low price of $47".  Yes, it actually says that.

Let me continue.

They list a number of "Testimonials" from a range of people from around the world.  They pretty much sound like they've been written by the same person (but I could be wrong there-- I admit.)

Here's an excerpt from one of the testimonials:

Kevin Mill,  from somewhere is Greece (Kevin Mill... a nice Greek name-- you'd think they would have at least tried to make up a Greek sounding name), writes:

..."When I saw Tesla Secret, I remembered that if someone would have created a Free Energy Device, it would have been Nikola Tesla – the genius that invented the electricity. "...

Nikola Tesla didn't invent electricity.  To be fair, this testimonial was written by a lay-person in Greece, and it seems English is not his first language.   But it gets better.  He goes on to say:

"And tell you what: this system literally turns my electric meter backwards!"

I can't even comment on that one 'cause my side is hurting too much.

And, to add insult to injury, when I couldn't take any more of this site, and tried to close the window, it prompted me one last time with a pop-up that offered a special family discount for $29.  When I attempted to leave some of the various other "Magniworks"- endorsing sites (Magniworkscam.org, mapawatt.com, magnet4energyscam.net... the list goes on), the same kind of message popped up.  Hmmm.  Oh, also the "Phone4Energy sites did the same thing.  Coincidence?  Excuse me, I have to go wash my hands and throw acid in eyes.

By the above "Magniworks-endorsing" Site names, you would think that you're about to read that the Magnet4Energy technology is a scam-- but you actually get what is essentially a medium to great review (ie: wouldn't want to get a 100 on a test when you're cheating -- too obvious-- get a few questions wrong).  This is exactly what these sites are doing, and the more of them that are out there, the bigger the scam gets.  Do I really have to explain this to you?

So in conclusion, after all this wailing on about NikolaTeslaSecret.com, and through just a few subsiquent simple googles, we have discovered that the creator of this site (NikolaTeslaSecret.com) is, as I've mentioned earlier in on the scam, or plain naive and kinda dumb.

By the by -- Mr. Ben Miller, and the other ilk should read this page:  http://www.ftc.gov/opa/2009/02/dutchman.shtm
