I woke up this sunny Tuesday morning to a message that I was hoping was a clever, witty attempt to make me smile. Instead, it was this:
Hey,
I noticed that you recently contributed to a thread about slow fat loss.Actually, I have a new ebook on how to lose fat fast, and how to maintain weight loss long term.
It is packed with a lot of helpful information and I'm sure you'll learn something from it. In fact, I want to give you this book for FREE, if you would be willing to write an honest REVIEW for me.
If you are interested, give me your email and I'll send it over right away.
People like this are what's wrong with the world. You're taking advantage of a weight loss site for your own gain, and touting methods of weight loss that aren't based in any kind of science? (I read his blog, and it's abysmal. I refuse to in any way promote his bro science and thus did not include the link.)
I know I'm not the only one who got this message and I hope no one else buys into this crap about losing fat fast. That's just not how it works, folks.

Well... you could always accept his offer, he did ask for an honest review after all!0

He sent it to me too this morning, I blocked him. I'm sure there will be some folks who will take him up on his bad advice.0

I was going to say sorry, there is no fast way when I read the title but you look like you have a good grasp of this. Besides I am more partial to "a pill" or the magic dust you put on top of ice cream to "melt away fat. I also like the "if you lose too much fat on this product, only use it every other day" But you know the old saying "there's a sucker born every minute and two born to take him"0

What was the sender's name? There was a guy on here a few months back hawking his e-book and he was a lot of fun to poke fun at. Although I think he deactivated after too much harassment. Can't remember his name but it was a common man's name. I hope he's back.0

I got one too. I think the mods have said in tge past that we can forward spammy PMs to them for review. Maybe someone can confirm?0

I got one too, told him I'm good with the science I've used thus far and I'd be reporting him. Then I couldn't find a way to report him so just blocked him.
Pretty sure he posted only recently on the forums about his ebook too?0 -

Interested to see if it was only females that received this AMAZING offer...0

Atrocious.
Reminds me of the harrassing salespeople at those shady kiosks at the mall. They will practically throw themselves in front of you just to get you to stop so you can buy their crappy, overpriced garbage.
No thanks, loser.0 -

He's obviously telling you're fat.
I have a fragile ego.0 -
I'm losing weight fast, and most guys can too... Just redefine fast to 2lb/week. That is 104lb/year. Even 50lb/year is pretty fast, so count 1lb/week as fast.0

Ya, people get bogged down on the weekly numbers when they should look at the big picture.

Absolutely. Goodness knows months seem to fly by. Just thinking of it as where you can be in a year makes such a difference, or did for me back at the beginning.0 -

Yep.0 -
You mean, I'm not special?
I figured it's just a scam to hack emails, or on the "good" side, he's trying to promote his book and website.0 -

I'd lean more toward hacking/phishing, but then again I think people in general are horrible. If the book is in the form of a pdf, might it have something malicious attached? If it's web based, is there a malicious script or a request to download an app or extension to access it? I wouldn't get as far as considering whether it's a good read or not.0 -

You should come visit here. Its like a plague , you won't be able to resist it. You'll leave here with a thick gold chain, tan , and language so terrible that its basically a verbal assault each time you open your mouth.0 -
