Tim Ferriss, does anyone know him?

Do you think he hired the Illinois Department of Corrections to handle his customer service?(some correctional systems actually provide tele-services to some companies.

As for my bluntness, we try to obtain the best information we can. Anyone can say someone sucks. If someone has a legitimate complaint they can provide specific information that will help someone else down the road.

One is answered by the Illinois Dept. of Corrections. Another always ends with "all circuits are busy", always. Still another...you get the picture. Email, same story. And thanks for the idiot reference, I think you know the truth here.

His website, http://www.fourhourworkweek.com does not offer any ability to order the Bodyquicken product.

Additionally, Bodyquicken is not sold directly. Even from the Bodyquicken website, the "Try it" link goes to one of the product's distributors - in this case, http://www.Bodybuilding.com

Regardless of any and all other issues people may have with him or his product, unless you can show your problem with an one individual distibutor/reseller in a list of many is a systemic problem, your comments are in error and not at all relevant.

Negative brother, my comments are relevant. I purchased it directly from a link provided by Mr. Ferriss the schmuck from a bounceback email reply directly from his Spammaster bitch. The customer service numbers were provided by the Schmuck's own email as well. If you sell me a product through a distributor, you better make sure the product gets delivered, its the American way - in case you don't understand that, douchebag.......BB

Do you have a copy of the original spam mailing you could reproduce here? Which name or business charged your credit card?

Tom, If Tim actually controls distribution its relevant.

Foaming at the mouth will only get your posts culled.

As of right now, we only have your words. Given your foaming at the mouth, it could lead posters to believe you have a personal beef with the guy as opposed to a problem ordering a product.

Now, you refer to an email - not previously mentioned by you - as "bounceback" "spammaster". You didn't post the email (you need to include the headers). You haven't shown it to be his. In fact, you previously said you ordered it from his website, yet now you refer to an email.

Regardless, WHY ARE YOU RESPONDING TO SPAM? And, why are you ORDERING SOMETHING FROM A SPAM MESSAGE????

By itself, I'd agree, but not when taken in the context of "TIM FERRISS IS A TOTAL FAKE IN ALL REGARDS. ORDER HIS PRODUCT AND YOU'LL SEE WHAT I MEAN."

Hi, googling Timothy Ferriss and found this forum. His book has a catchy title but not sure about this guy -- He claims a lot of things but so far haven't seen any hard proof, just his own smooth self-promotion. On his blog he says he's a national Chinese kickboxing champion (he's not Chinese??), vanquisher of 4 MMA champions (doesn't say who?), advisor to world athletes (doesn't say who?), etc. + there's something about faking photos on a weight-loss diet and a hoax email in his book?? Anyone can help clear this up? Thanks, J.

Did you even bother to read the rest of the thread? All this has already been stated. By other posters.
