Alvin Phang blogging workshop is really a big big scam!!! I read this from this guy who attended Alvin Phang's blogging workshop in Malaysia, and turned out to be a real big scam.
I went to Alvin Phang's preview in Singapore before, and he said that he is not a bullshit and really confirm to others that his blogging workshop can really make money on the internet. He even show his family photo's showing his father was in an accident and part of his father's skull was removed for repair and his father was in coma in hospital for quite sometime. Alvin Phang said that because of his family burden, he need to be an millionaire in order to support his family. I was really touched and a lot of the people there were touched too and all went up to him and talked to him about his blogging workshop and etc.
A number of them signed up, but I was still thinking and decided to ask in sammyboy forums for some advice. Nobody in sammyboy forums went for Alvin Phang workshop so I wanted to play safe, I waited. And finally someone in Malaysia said this Alvin Phang blogging workshop is a scam.
I really dont know why? Why all these scammers need to bring up their families sad stories to try to con others? Why? I went to Edmund Ng Singapore SEO and Internet preview, and this Edmund Ng also talk about his sad stories of his life and family, and made everyone who attended this Edmund Ng's preview felt touched and decided to take his courses too. Why all these scammers use such an unethical tactics? Why?
Does it really brings good karma to the scammers who uses families and life sad stories to con others hard earned money into their pockets? After all these incidents, I do not believe all the cock and bullshit sad stories of families and suffering people anymore.
Look at Sun Ho, pastor of City Harvest Church, also said wanted to use singing to save souls in China. But in the end went to USA and did anyone see her latest MTV? So is it really saving souls, or making money or what? I think only God knows.
Look at Ming Yi monk, also when on TV he does all the dangerous stunts and cried on TV and asked audiences to support the poor people and in the end he uses the donations to buy properties and horses and lend it to his 'boyfriend' or 'friend' to buy a luxury car.
And if the cases of using genuine families sad stories to get others to help in their bad financial conditions, I think we as human beings, we should help them. But those that uses the so called families sad stories to con others their hard earned money, I think all these fucking scammers they should deserved to go to hell!!!
So far I know of scammers now are Edmund Ng Singapore SEO expert, Alvin Phang blogger, Ewen Chia, Jo Han Mok, Stuart Tan, Clemen Chiang, and I think the next to join in the conman group might be Adam Khoo.
Here is the story and URL link of Alvin Phang blogging workshop scam.

"I have to qualify first that I personally did not attend this course held recently in Kuala Lumpur by facilitator Alvin Phang, on the topic of how to make money online or by blogging. The title of the workshop escaped me but it’s something to do with teaching people how to make money on their blogs.
I believe Alvin Phang comes from Singapore and claims to have made many thousands of dollars through his blogging, mainly from affiliate programs. Someone I know went for the course and after completing the 2-day course which was held at Wisma MCA during a recent weekend, I asked how it went, what he learned and gained. He kindly shared with me and to my horror, I found that people should be made aware of some hidden agenda. Read below on how I think Alvin cheats on his earnings from affiliate programs and Adsense.
Firstly, I would like to qualify also that I believe Alvin Phang has made his course specially for people who do not know anything about blogging and setting up blogs. He helps them to register a domain of their choice and subsequently helps to install Wordpress on it and proceed to set it up including installing a theme for all participants. They all use a theme designed by him.
They are told that for the RM2,500 course held in Malaysia, it not only includes the workshop fee but they also get the domain name and 1-year hosting of their site. I expected the participants to then get full access to their web host and also domain name manager so that they are fully empowered to manage their own blogs.
As it turns out, they do not have any control over the web host nor the domain name. I figured that Alvin probably earned his affiliate income signing up everyone for a domain name and a 1-year web host service. And since they do not have any control over this and thus will not learn how to manage any of these services going forward, they seem to be locked in for as long as they don’t transfer out the domain and continue using the web host provider they signed up with. Wow, that’s year after year of affiliate income for Alvin, isn’t it?
That’s not all, Alvin also removed the permission to edit any of the theme settings in Wordpress administration. This means that they cannot change the template, cannot tweak the theme in anyway. Not even to install any plugins! All they get to do is post entries, add some widgets in the sidebar, put up some affiliate banners and that’s about it.
Why shouldn’t the owners of the blogs be allowed to manage all these fundamental things in their very own blogs? I’ll tell you why. Or at least I think I figured the reason why Alvin locked it.
Alvin made it known to the participants that he DOES NOT believe in making money from Google Adsense. If you visit his various sites, you will not find a single unit of Adsense being used. Fair enough. But do you know what he has done with all the participants’ blogs? He inserted Adsense into them and those Adsense units are not from the participants’ Google Adsense accounts! Whose are they? Must be Alvin’s, right?
He inserted those Adsense into the sidebar of the blogs but he did so sneakily. He did not insert them using the widgets because blog owners can change and even remove them. He included the Adsense codes into the sidebar.php file which is kept locked and inaccessible to these blog owners. So how are they going to remove these Adsense? They simply can’t.
So if Alvin does not believe in Adsense, why did he so sneakily incorporate them into other people’s blogs and lock it so that it cannot be removed? Answer is simple. Alvin does believe in Adsense. He just doesn’t put them into his own blogs but make his Adsense income via other people’s blogs. God knows how many similar courses he’s conducted and how many participants’ blogs he has set up with his Adsense code incorporated.
Now if you think about it, Alvin is a smart businessman who not only makes money from the seminar fees collected, he is also making affiliate income from all the domain names and web host sign ups, including any clicks of those Adsense on other people’s blogs. No wonder he can claim to have made hundreds of thousands through affiliate programs. So now you understand the secret of his making so much money from affiliate programs. Clever business idea, isn’t it?
I won’t comment on the content of his seminar. I’m sure for beginners they would have learned a lot since they start out with no knowledge whatsoever. I’m only warning you of what he does behind your back, telling half-truths and lying about his sentiments on Adsense when he’s riding on it through you!"
