Milli Vanilli was a German R&B music act from Munich who was famously caught lip-syncing during a live concert.

Well, the same thing just happened to rock legends The Eagles.

Go here if you want in-depth, very technical, yet fascinating proof.

I was never a big fan of The Eagles, but this is sad and fraudulent.

Dictionary.com defines fraud as “…deception intended to result in financial or personal gain.”

Here’s a partial list of things of fraudulent marketing practices that are so commonplace that they seem normal.

• Fake deadlines.
• Pre-recorded webinars that are promoted as if they were live.
• This offer is going away soon! (And it never goes away.)
• We only have # of spots available for appointments.
• This is a one-time offer. (When it’s not one time.)
• The price is going up. (And it never does.)

I could go on and on, but the bottom line is:

Let’s not be like Milli Vanilli or, unfortunately now, The Eagles.

Kick butt, make mucho DEEnero!
