Tissa Godavitarne is a CON ARTIST. I was tricked into signing up, in late February, 2009. I killed my subscription in early June, and noticed that I had paid for four (4) months. I was never even given a 30 day free trial! Tissa knows he tricks everyone into believing he is advertising for them and that their search engine will help them tap into the people search market... BUT it is ALL just HORSE SHIT, as you are about to discover.

The deception begins when Tissa makes you think he is advertising for you (www.acmepeoplesearch.com click on the first bullet called "The Presell Page") Tissa wants you (very badly) to believe he is doing some advertising for you, but "to reach your search engine's true earning potential, you must ALSO advertise" sound familiar? Then Tissa turns around and says, in his insane asylum forum, that the $29.95 subscription does not include ANY advertising! What HORSE SHIT! I brought this question up in Tissa's forum: "Tissa, if you say the subscription includes no advertising, then how come when I ended my subscription several months later, you send me the following email with subject line: Don't pay Tissa to advertise your search engine " THE ONLY REASON for Tissa to send an email with that subject line is because Tissa knows that you think that the $29.95 monthly subscription is for advertising, BECAUSE, TISSA COERCES YOU into thinking this.

It also says so in the Acme-People-Search.com Terms of Service: We GUARANTEE COMMISSIONS of AT LEAST $125.00 within 24 hours of us starting your FREE advertising. WE WILL ADVERTISE your NSE [niche search engine] for FREE, UNTIL we have credited you with $125 in referral fees. So, not only is the $125 supposed to be commissions due to advertising, it is also supposed to be GUARANTEED (NSE) SEARCH ENGINE COMMISSIONS {GUARANTEED (NSE) SEARCH ENGINE COMMISSIONS are totally NOT THE SAME as the commissions you get from Tissa for getting others to complete Steps 1,2,3 to sign up for their own NSE.}

After all, didn't Tissa say PEOPLE SEARCH is huge? Didn't you think that your NSE was going to help you tap into the PEOPLE SEARCH NICHE? Of course you did! Just like everybody else who signs up. WRONG! It's all about Tissa's Step 1,2,3 racket, that's it! It's about you getting him leads that he can convert via brainwashing in his insane assylum forum. MEANWHILE, YOU are kept busy 'learning to earn' and working for Tissa by supplying him with leads. Tissa thinks like this: >>>I (Tissa the octopus) will build up thier (YOU & ME) excitement about the people search market, trick them into thinking that this NSE I cooked up made them $125, then get them to work their ass off for me before I give it to them. Meanwhile, I make five times (5X) more money: I get $29.95/month from them, until they manage to bring me at least 5 subscribers, that have maintained their subscription for three months (equals $450.00) so, by the time they work there ass off trying to collect, I (Tissa the octopus) have made way more than $125 off of THEM, and this is on top of all the leads and advertising they do for me, WHICH IS IN ADDITION TO the commissions I get when they join WA [wealthy affiliates university]<<<

Those fire alarms and fire engine sirens should be SCREAMING & BLARING right now! Tissa TRICKS YOU (coerces you) into believing that you can make money from PEOPLE SEARCH by the fake $125 NSE commissions, then Tissa makes you PAY to promote HIS RACKET, to get the fake $125. WOW! So, like I have been saying, Tissa's racket is NOT about people search at all! It's about getting you to chase the fake $125 carrot and keeping you distracted at WA, until Tissa can charge your card a few times! Then, asta-la-vista baby! "See you later you poor sport who is lazy and looking to get rich quick..." Sound familiar? That is what happens at stage 3, when you quit! [stage 1 = I love Tissa] [stage 2 = hmmm, not sure about this, maybe it's time to cut the monthly fee] [stage 3 = sorry Tissa, Im not lazy, I have spent thousands (click here for proof) to try to be a super affiliate like you but failed] These stages you go through, plus the entire Tissa scam, will be summarized in Tissa the octopus. Click on the word octopus to go there now!
RACKET = A FRAUDULENT OR DISHONEST BUSINESS

This is precisely why you get no money from Tissa when one of your leads gets sucked into Step 3, UNTIL THEY HANG ON AT $29.95/MONTH FOR THREE MONTHS! And there you have it, the purpose of the three steps. Again, YOU CAN ONLY GET THE $200 IF YOU GET SIGN-UPS FOR Tissa! NOT by tapping into the people search market, AS YOU ARE COERCED TO BELIEVE, click here. NONE of your search engine's true commissions from people searching for people, EVER COME INTO PLAY! YOU CANNOT MAKE A DIME unless you complete step 3. BECAUSE, Tissa effectively STEALS YOUR MONEY (your hard earned PPC dollars) AND YOUR CUSTOMERS, because of the 65% or 35% display rate. Tissa uses you every 'step' of the way!
coerce = [1] To compel to a course of action or thought
The fraudulent $125 handout is something that you NEVER GET because [A] YOU are paying for it at $29.95/month [B] YOU ARE WORKING FOR IT! Like a slave 'learning to earn' TO ADVERTISE TISSA and NOT people search. By the time you achieve the $200 pay out requirement, you will have made Tissa the octopus a truck load more money. IN ADDITION TO all the other BENEFITS Tissa gets from you 'learning' and wasting your time and money trying to push Tissa's HORSE SHIT on others. Think about it, Tissa pays you a few $'s ONE TIME, for each $29.95/month subscriber you get for him! You really SHOULD be ASHAMED OF YOURSELF if you know all this and are still pushing, or should I say SHOVELING IT!
Again, RED FLAGS AND FIRE ENGINE SIRENS should have gone off! Why, because the $200 you must make before getting paid out, is calculated as follows: THE $125 FRAUD HANDOUT, PLUS $75 of what? Is it $75 of NSE commissions, or is it $75 of your cut of the money Tissa steals for step 3, that you helped Tissa and his goons EXTORT from UNSUSPECTING NEWBIES? {If you have read everything up to now, you know the answer so read on brothas and sistas!} Consider the fact that the only commissions of yours that Tissa IS ABLE TO KNOW ABOUT and keep track of, is the stolen money he gives you, when YOU, assisted by TISSA'S GOONS and TISSA HIMSELF in the forum, MANAGE TO TRICK A NEWBIE TO GET THEIR OWN NSE.

And Tissa ignores this! Tissa insists on contradicting himself both in his forum brainwashing 'explanations' and in his Terms of Service, Tissa insists on calling the $125 fraudulent handout, GUARANTEED (NSE) SEARCH ENGINE COMMISSIONS! AND, BECAUSE I SPOKE UP, I got banned from his forum. Tissa has A LOT TO HIDE!
Terms of Service
Now let's see how Tissa TINKERS WITH THE TRAFFIC STATS in your back office, to make you think he is advertising you in his PPC campaigns. But, first, let's pay careful attention to what Tissa said above: "Once you have reached AT LEAST $125 in commissions, I no longer send you free traffic." Great Tissa, so, by default, since you DID CONTINUE to send me traffic, (as you will see in my March 2009 traffic screen shot below) and since it is not free traffic, then it can only be one thing, paid subscription traffic, which you stopped sending me after the first 30 days, but you continued to charge my PayPal account. This is how he aquired the nickname Tissa the 'octopus' Godavitarne, because he is just a money grabbing con artist. Click on the word octopus to see WHAT TISSA REALLY LOOKS LIKE! Clearly Tissa did NOT consult a professional to write his Terms of Service.
OCTOPUS
 
Also, you can verify that the traffic Tissa sends is HORSE SHIT. Just log into your back office to confirm. It has NONE of the characteristics that it is in fact PPC (pay-per-click targeted traffic). On the contrary, it is junk random free trafic. PPC traffic would show as a steady stream of several visitors in one day, based on your daily budget. And this would carry on, each day, until your bank account runs dry, or until a designated stop point. WHY THEN does Tissa suddenly kill it, WHY DOES or WHY WOULD Tissa go to the trouble to set up and launch a PPC adwards campaign that was making money and kill it? Because there is no campaign, Tissa just wants to sell his fake "AT LEAST $125 GUARANTEED SEARCH ENGINE COMMISSIONS" HORSE SHIT! Tissa is magically supposed to be able to determine when you have reached "AT LEAST" $125 in guaranteed NSE [niche search engine] commissions, even though there is NO WAY Tissa can verify this because there is NO WAY Tissa can log into all your NSE [niche search engine] associated affiliate accounts WITHOUT YOUR PASSWORD! LOL! VERY BIG RED FLAG!
YOU GET IT NOW? It is ALL about getting YOU into the forum and then getting YOU to PAY the $29.95 monthly fee, until YOU give up. Along the way, Tissa and his goons will recommend everything under the moon to keep you 'learning' until Tissa Godavitarne and his goons have fleeced you good. If you complain that you are not making money, you get blamed for being lazy, and a whole slew of other accusations, to make you feel smaller than an ant.
Just look at how long the people who love this scam have been in the scam, A VERY SHORT TIME! IN MOST CASES! A FEW become longterm GOONS but THE VAST MAJORITY get discouraged and LEAVE, while getting put down and blamed, for doing this: "Those who can do those who can't cry scam."
So, click here, to see the six whole visitors of non-PPC traffic from Google, Yahoo, and MSN sent by Tissa the 'octopus' Godavitarne, to my search engine. And, NOTHING, for the next 3 months, even though Tissa was stealing $29.95 per month, for four (4) months, without any 30 day free trial. Tissa, wake up buddy, the party's over dude!
March 2009 Traffic Statistics
Below, is the UNCUT POST of an infuriated human being, once he figured all this out. To warn you, the guy mentions "VASELINE". He speaks clearly for a lot of unhappy internet citizens.
"VASELINE"
In short, ALL THE BRAINWASHING in Tissa's insane assylum forum is geared toward promoting TISSA'S THREE STEP RACKET, NOT PEOPLE SEARCH!
