Serial Pest Eric Jones and Talk With Web Visitor

talk-with-web-visitor

Lately a lot of us are getting bombarded with unsolicited and poorly written emails from Eric Jones. 

They usually come through a website contact form, and even adding Google reCAPTCHA to the form doesn’t seem to help. Every email is sent from a different IP addresses, so we can’t block the IP. 

A typical email looks like this:

First name: Eric
Last name: Jones
Email: This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
Phone: 555-555-1212

Share your experience or ask a question: Hi, my name is Eric and I’m betting you’d like your website to generate more leads.

Here’s how:

Talk With Web Visitor is a software widget that’s works on your site, ready to capture any visitor’s Name, Email address and Phone Number.  It signals you as soon as they say they’re interested – so that you can talk to that lead while they’re still there at americasrepairforce.com.

Obviously, that alias “Eric Jones” is fake. So who is hiding behind this mass spam campaign?

There is no company phone number or address, there is a website though - total scam with no contact info on that website. No legitimate company would send out so many spam emails. 

Digging around on the internet it appears Talk With Web Visitor is operated by a Canadian company Trade World Corporation. Of course they have a F rating with the BBB, and the reviews show that other people and web companies have been continuously spammed by them.  Some unfortunate people have even signed up for their service only to find that it is nearly impossible to cancel the account.  Apparently, once they have your credit card number they will just keep charging it.

You may also get a version of this email with a link to another website – Jumbo Lead Magnet.

Some of the online reviews for Talk With Web and Trade World Corporation:

“Trade world corporation is a SCAM!”

“If you try to terminate the service … You CANNOT!     They will make you go to a special web page which requires a CODE to terminate the service.  They WILL NOT Give you this code”

“They will KEEP ON CHARGING YOUR CARD EVERY MONTH!!!”

“They will SPAM you FOREVER.”

“Do a search on talk with lead review. LOOK at all the RIPOFF REPORTS!”

If you receive an email from these people , assume it originated from a criminal. Do not contact the sender of the above email. Do not provide them any of your personal information, Do not click the unsubscribe link. Do not send them any money. The only intention of the scammer who sent this email is to steal money and information.

Always avoid all website links that any scammer sends to you because their websites are all fraudulent and may also contain hidden Malware or Spyware.

The best thing to do is to report deceptive or suspicious spam to the Federal Trade Commission.  You can forward the email to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.. The FTC uses the spam stored in this database to pursue law enforcement actions against people who send deceptive email.
