Is Facebook's Chat to Text a scam?

[Masterrat656]

This question is obviously a burning question in everyone's mind, since the there is so much chatter about it.

But the fact is, that too many people believe what they read on line without doing any real digging.

The hype with the money making aspect associated with the application has actually overshadowed the application itself, and I think it's a shame.

As a marketing and internet consultant for the past 6 years, I can tell you that the Chat-To-Text applications for a small business owner is great.

For instance, I am the marketing consultant for Danley Electrical, a small business in South River NJ. Because he did not have a full time person answering phones, we also gave the potential customer to chat with Walt by placing the "Chat-To-Text" link on his web site.

Now he can be on the road and working with his crew, but also be in contact with potential customers. Instant contact through a communication medium the customer is comfortable with.

You can see this in action at http://www.danley911.com and click on the image "text my phone".

And yes, they were removed from facebook back in February because of an issue that was resolved and now are back on.

So it's not a scam, I know because if you look up my facebook page and request to be my friend, I will grant the request and you will see the link on my profile.

Lots of young people out there and or people who don't understand internet marketing saying chat to text is a scam and posting things they really don't understand.

Obviously misguided, no offense.

I wouldn't say "misguided" but more along the lines of "cautious". The way it is set up, it definitely has the feel of a pyramid scam. I did a lot of research and it is pretty much split down the line 50/50. I wouldn't do it. but if it works for you, then that's great. It's still very new and we'll see what happens in the days to come. I found a video for you with a positive outlook on it. Feel free to watch it.
