Mr Robert Blackman has resolved my complaint, restoring his integrity in my eyes
Previously I had written in this blog about my experience with Mr Robert Blackman in an extremely negative light, after many attempts to resolve a matter of unreceived product and an offer of a refund that was subsequently never forthcoming.
Mr Blackman and his Customer Service Manager Sheri Cuyos have since acted to resolve my complaint to my full satisfaction.
I have now received a full refund of $197 USD from Mr Blackman and have received digital download access to the material that I had originally paid for more than two years ago.
Mr Blackman also confirmed to me that the package was shipped to me originally and then again when I had reported not receiving it.
While I have over the years received almost all the other Internet marketing packages I order in the mail from the USA, I unfortunately did not receive those sent by Mr Blackman. That part of it was not his fault, and was not the source of my contention.
My complaint was specifically in relation to the eventual offer I was able to elicit after numerous communications, which was that of a refund and another package shipment. After that didn’t happen and after several more follow-up emails by me, I finally wrote to Mr Blackman saying I would have to take the matter public, which I did on this blog.
I note that nothing happened until I felt compelled to make unpleasant public written records of my experience.
In fact, after I published my complaints on this blog, nothing happened for a long time, until I eventually ranked #1 and/or #2 in Google for several of Mr Robert Blackman’s key search terms. I was even ranking above Mr Blackman’s own web sites in Google for his own name “Robert Blackman” at one point.
It was at this point that I assume Mr Blackman felt he should address my complaint.
Which he did, in writing on 5th of July, 2009:
Bradley,
It seems we have a dispute almost three years old.
I want to clear this up today.
1) What PayPal address can I send $197 to?
2) I show that we did indeed Air Mail two packages to you.
You are saying you didn’t get them, yet the Post Office cannot
track Air Mail…so I am going to error in your favor.3) We have been taken by MANY people overseas with our
products who said they have not received them…thus we sent
you two packages and assumed you did get them, just as you
assumed we never sent them.Enough, life is too short, so let’s clear this up today.
And, if you still want to listen to the course I can send
you an online mp3 version to insure you can listen to
them as well.If not, I understand as well.
Good luck in your future endeavors and God Bless.

I sincerely thank you Mr Blackman for ultimately acting to resolve this matter.
He has restored his own integrity in my eyes and has restored my faith in humanity.
I was very bitter about my experience for a long while and I can now say wholeheartedly that I have let go of the bitterness and once again have confidence to deal with people in the MLM industry once again without a tainted heart.
Thank you Sheri Cuyos for your original communication and promise to both refund and ship another product.
Thank you Robert Blackman for eventually, finally honouring this promise.
Now it is my turn to offer an apology to Mr Blackman. He resolved this matter by the 10th July, and I wrote back to him on that day. I promised him to update my blog to acknowledge the resolution and now two months later I still had not done so.
In the past couple of days both Mr Blackman and his CSM Sheri Cuyos have commented on my blog requesting that I update it.
So at their prompting, I am belatedly fulfilling on my promise.
I apologise for the delay and regret any further impact this may have had on your business and reputation.
Here is my reply to Mr Blackman on 10th July:
To: MLMMastermind Support <mlmmastermind@msn.com>
Subject: Re: Refund QuestionHello Robert,
I must say I’m pleasantly surprised to finally receive an email from you about this outstanding request for a refund.
Yes, there was the course I purchased that you shipped twice that I never received.
We had communicated about that by phone and I had sent numerous emails, several faxes and a few voice mails.
You would presumably have seen and recall at least some of my more than 20 separate communications.
After many emails and several faxes and phone calls over approximately an 18 month period, I eventually got a reply from Sheri, your office manager, where she had promised a refund and sending the package again. See below my email, in case you don’t have a copy.
After Sheri’s email promising to send another course and a refund, I waited but I never received either the second package or the refund.
So I sent several further follow-up emails subsequent that, questioning your integrity. I never received any replies to those emails.
So eventually, maybe a year later, I finally wrote to inform you expressing my distress that the promise was never honoured and advising that I felt I had no alternative but to publish my experience and use SEO to get my story in front of as many people as possible so they would know that promises were made and not kept.
You have presumably noticed that my letter to you on BlogAndGrow.com has been #1 in Google for “Robert Blackman” and is currently #2.
I guess that’s what has prompted you to finally write to me with your offer of refund to settle this matter?
I have to tell you I would have been so much happier if we had resolved this matter amicably without the need for me to take such serious action as to publish my dissatisfaction for all the world to see.
I have dealt with this matter in a way that I’m not especially proud of, but that was the course of action I ultimately committed to and I stuck to my word on that.
Anyway, leaving the past in the past, the present situation is that you are now again offering to set things right and I appreciate that.
You can issue the refund to Paypal at mail@melange.com.au
As all I ever wanted all along was to receive your training material, which I remain sure is excellent, and I made that point on my blog that was my great disappointment, not to receive the material, I would greatly appreciate access to an MP3 version as well.
In return for the refund and access to the material as MP3, I will update the pages on BlogAndGrow.com with information that you offered a to settle the matter and that we have achieved a settlement of my complaint.
In fact, I’m happy to publish a copy of this letter in lieu of the current letter if that suits you.
In addition to that, once I have listened to your course, I will write a review of it, which I will email to you.
If you feel it is a review you are happy to have published, I will also publish that on BlogAndGrow.com
Regardless of what has gone before, as you say life is too short.
This is our chance to turn lemons into lemonade.
I’d rather be friends than enemies and I hope I can say that my original belief and faith in you is vindicated at long last and the only person I have ever had to publicly criticize in my 15 years of online business has made good on the cause of my complaint.
Thank you Robert in advance for getting this complete.
We may never be friends but at least we can say that in the end we resolved our dispute as gentlemen and I will tell that to anyone who asks.
I appreciate it and I wish you all the best.
yours truly,
Bradley C Hughes
As a result of this matter being completed, I will now be able to listen to your training with a clear mind and an open heart.
When I do so, I shall write a review and post it on this blog.
All the best,
Bradley C Hughes
Birmingham City University to offer MA in Social Media, including Bebo, Facebook, Twitter
A course such as this Ma in Social Media now offered by Birmingham City University must strike a curriculum design balance between future theoretical evolutions of social media and the current practical reality of its usage today.
The course outline says, “There is a dichotomy within this nascent industry. On the one hand established businesses are seeking to co-opt the tools of social media and use them for commercial gain; on the other third sector organisations are making use of these tools to build complex and conversational communication strategies for minimal cost.”
This suggests a divide between commercial usage of social media and sociological usage of social media. How clear is this divide? There’s still some degree of resistance to purely commercial participation in some SM niches, but the resistance is good natured for the most part; there’s certainly no organised social media jihad against commercial participation in my experience, not like it was on Usenet circa 1990 with prot0-spammers Canter and Siegel being the famous focus of wrath for their incessant newsgroup spamming.
The focus of an MA in Social Media naturally needs to be on those sites that currently have the global audiences that give them relevance. Both Facebook and Twitter have that level of traction.
Right now, today, Facebook and Twitter are the current leading social media sites for English speakers in terms of hands-on results for people in the social media space, that’s why they would naturally focus on those two at present.
Yes, there’s still MySpace, but these days I think its in now primarily focused on the categories of teen networking and entertainment promotion, rather than being across all fields.
As posited by commenters James and Georg, on PodcastingNews.com where I read about this, Facebook and Twitter could somehow fail. I found their suggestions of this to be off the cuff and even naive.
While not impossible, I consider either service disappearing in under five years to be unlikely in the extreme. They both have sufficient virtual mass, velocity, inertia and viral characteristics that will see them both continue to grow in popularity and stickiness for at least the next two years minimum before reaching a plateau.
Twitter recently past its second anniversary and it’s really only starting to break into mainstream awareness.
Even a steep decay curve would see Facebook and Twitter be popular, viable services for at least three years after that.
After little more than five years, Facebook is apparently around the 200 million member mark now but how many of them are relatively active users (login more than once a week) is uncertain.
I’m prepared to wager they are both still going strong five years from now.
Ten years - who knows?
What’s a likely scenario for usage of these services?
I expect there will be spin-offs of Facebook and Twitter that are semi-private gated communities where people have to be part of some loose association, affiliation, etc. such that there is a higher signal to noise ratio for those people in their own fields.
While Facebook’s Groups go towards this, there’s still the public hubbub to contend with, such as long lost people you practically never talked with at school throwing virtual custard tarts at your virtual head for instance.
I think private or membership based sites will be the killer evolution for both Facebook and Twitter.
Accountants.Facebook.com
Architects.Facebook.com
Authors.Facebook.com
NetworkMarketers.Facebook.com
DogWhisperers.Twitter.com
MutantJugglers.Twitter.com
PigWrestlers.Twitter.com
etc.
Graduates of such a Masters degree programme would hopefully be equipped with the ability to advocate, participate and or manage aspects of such communities, so I see it as potentially a pretty useful qualification.
Their education will be especially well structured and functional if they hire guest lecturers of the calibre of @silkcharm, @mpesce @coachdeb @leolaporte @guykawasaki and other notable social media experts to teach it.
Being Australian I have to refer to the antipodean and USA experts as I’m not really in the UK social media loop.
Perhaps someone from the UK could offer some further commentary on this course and its implications

Outsourcing and Outtasking - Saving Time with Virtual Assistants
This is a post I published earlier today over at EasyWizards.com
Thought I’d share it with my BlogAndGrow.com readers as well, since EasyWizards.com is so new it hasn’t been picked up by Google yet.
You have a million things to do.
Its a sunny afternoon and your friends are all at the beach or hanging out at the park.
You’re hanging out to join them but you have to research some articles on outtasking and saving time with virtual assistants for a blog post you’re working on.
Imagine how great it would be to delegate the ‘lesser mortal stuff’ of searching for the articles to extra brains and hands?
Picture this, you login to an easy-to-use dashboard that features your latest tasks with updates from your own team of Virtual Assistants.
You write and submit the following task:
“Please find me 10 articles from article marketing web sites with republishing rights so I can use them on my blogs.
Article Subject: outtasking and saving time with virtual assistants, how to work with virtual assistants.
Send me an email with links to the 10 articles.”
That takes two minutes.
You grab your towel, sun glasses, backpack, jump on your bike and head to the beach.
When you come home you’ll have an email with the 10 articles you need to build a comprehensive resource category in your blog on the subject of of outtasking and saving time with virtual assistants.
Congratulations, you have just leveraged your time, freeing you up to enjoy the lifestyle you deserve to enjoy with your friends and loved ones.
Get a TimeSvr virtual assistant account and reclaim your life and time today.
If you’re down at Bronte beach this afternoon, be sure to say G’day.
yours in success,
Bradley C Hughes
Robert Blackman - MLMMastermind, MLM Big Money - has restored my faith and his integrity
This post was previously called “Robert Blackman - MLMMastermind, MLM Big Money - fraud and scam artist” and contained content relating to my own experiences and quoting several other people, with a couple of links to their complaints.

Looking for my favourite videos? See the “MyTube” Category
I finally figured out why the BlogAndGrow Deep Blue themed home page template keeps breaking. Turns out that every time I create a posting that includes embedded video code objects from Vimeo or YouTube, the template breaks.
So now rather than including video postings on the home page, I will only add them into the MyTube category and one or another categories if appropriate.
Phew, glad that’s sorted!

“My latest letter to Robert Blackman”, June 15, 2008 @ 14:22
Dear Robert Blackman,
I submitted a version of this at http://www.mlmbigmoney.com/
On his website, Mr Blackman asks his prospects to answer the question:
Q: What’s my #1 marketing problem?
Here is my latest answer to Mr Blackman.
A: I have been too much of a victim when dealing with online gurus.
Here’s one example.
In March 2006 I spent hundreds of dollars with an MLM marketing and leads generation guru and I never received the products I paid for.Even after 18 months, dozens of emails, phone calls, faxes and a promise to both ship the products and refund my money, I never received either the products or a refund, either one of which would have been the minimum fair compensation for 18 months of attempts to get my orders fulfilled.
After more than a year of attempted communications, the guru’s office manager finally responded, declaring that the guru had never had an unresolved complaint in more than ten years online. She promised I would receive both the product and a refund, but neither was ever forthcoming.
Mr Blackman, what do you suggest I do?
Why am I addressing this question to you?
Why, because the MLM guru whose office manager finally promised to both ship the product and refund the money after 18 months of attempts to get the service supplied was… YOU!!
I’m still down over $300 and without the allegedly fantastic training material that you produce. I felt ill seeing your latest online video, where you’re driving a Mercedes, bounding into your mansion all fat and happy and I can’t even afford to repair my 18 year old Toyota sedan.
I hope you feel at least some small twinge of unhappiness next time you’re getting into your shiny new Mercedes SUV after you read this.
I have repeatedly questioned your honour and integrity in my correspondence to you, to which you have not answered in any respect. In times gone by, that would be sufficient cause for a duel with pistols or swords.
Maybe you don’t even care about your honour and integrity?
What kind of a man are you anyway?
Yours truly,
Bradley C Hughes
