A Net Guru in the Philippines

He lives in Baguio City!

I received an email today, just one of those marketing emails I receive from websites I opt to subscribe for newsletter in exchange of free downloads.

====================================

Subject: Ian, A special WARNING - You need to know

Message:

I want to warn you not to miss what could be the Biggest *F R E E* event in 2006.

You won't have to make air fare or motel reservations either. This event will be taking place in the privacy of your own home and will be appearing right on your very own computer screen.

Please keep this warning under your hat because it is suppose to be a secret for a few more days.

You may not believe your eyes when you see all the people that have teamed up to make this event possible.

Remember, It's *F R E E* !

Here is your warning -- Be on the lookout for this subject line...

Ian, Did you see this? It's BIG & It's*F R E E*

Now you know what to be on the lookout for and that all warnings are not bad.

Best regards,
Arthur Weber

====================================

Again...

Arthur - Weber
#205 Marcos Highway
Baguio City
2600 - Philippines ???


Whoa! An internet entrepreneur, one who has been there before I came in the IM world, lives in Baguio City???

I emailed him a reply:

====================================

Hi Arthur!

How are you? My name is Ian del Carmen of http://www.digibook.ph/ , based here in Metro Manila, Philippines! I got so excited about this email and even more excited when I saw your address at Baguio City, Philippines.

How are you? Are you based here in the Philippines? You see, I just started my online business and still learning more about it.

Are you related to Aweber.com?

I hope you find time to answer this email. Maybe we can go out one time and have coffee here in Manila.

Thanks and I will be waiting for your reply.

Take care & enjoy the Philippines!

Sincerely,

Then I googled for his website. I found http://www.marketing-dreams.com and scanned the home page. Under the site where legal notices reside reads:

I saw that number, a Smart mobile number & called him.

Hi! Is this Arthur Weber?

Yes. Who is this?

... and the rest is confidential. Business is business. ;-)
