You can check sales of his book for starters.<\/p>\n<p>A few that I know about are his claims about his time at Accenture, he<br \/>\nclaims he was a trainer and independent consultant of some sort. In reality<br \/>\nhe was more of a joke around the office. He never made it past his entry<br \/>\nlevel position. He saw new hires get promoted past him regularly until he<br \/>\ndecided to make up his own title and business cards. He called himself a<br \/>\n\u201cConsultant 5\u2033 and introduced himself with that made up title. Unfortunately<br \/>\nthat title didn\u2019t exist at the company. He had several run ins with<br \/>\nsuperiors who usually got tired of his stupidity and incompetence until they<br \/>\nwere able to transfer him out of their department into some other dead end<br \/>\nblack hole at the company. When asked why he was transferred he would make<br \/>\nup a story about having to care for a sick relative.<\/p>\n<p>He also claimed to be a marketing guru at Jamba Juice, taking credit for<br \/>\ntheir entire Midwest expansion. What he actually did there is still a<br \/>\nmystery, even to the marketing and HR departments at Jamba Juice. Calls to<br \/>\nseveral departments at Jamba Juice were fruitless in finding 1 person who<br \/>\neven knew who Peter Wink is. One HR person told me that she looked him up<br \/>\nafter others had called and found his ridiculous webpages but as far as she<br \/>\nknew he never worked for any corporate entity at Jamba Juice. He may have<br \/>\nbeen an hourly employee at one of the Chicago stores, but she wouldn\u2019t have<br \/>\nany records of employees at that level. She mentioned his super successful<br \/>\nJamba Juice promotion photos and suggested that those photos may have been a<br \/>\ncompany picnic for employees of one of the stores. Nothing to do with any<br \/>\nlarge scale promotion involving Peter Wink. As a resident of the Chicago<br \/>\narea, this HR person found his photos of \u201cprivate tours\u201d \u201cbig promotions\u201d<br \/>\netc. hilarious. Her comment was \u201cI\u2019m surprised he didn\u2019t take photos at the<br \/>\nwax museum and claim to have dated Marilyn Monroe\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He did get his college degree in 1996 after 2 grueling years at a local<br \/>\nChicago directional college. He was pretty proud of that. You can imagine<br \/>\nthe stellar Jesuit education he received there if he writing style and<br \/>\ngrammar are any indication.<\/p>\n<p>His next public failure was as Joe Vitale\u2019s something or other. One story<br \/>\nsays he got fired after a botched scam trip to Russia, Wink\u2019s expertise left<br \/>\nhis boss fearing for his life.<\/p>\n<p>Next was GIN, every botched promotion in GIN can be traced right back to<br \/>\nWink up until he got fired for incompetence and pretended he quit for moral<br \/>\nreasons (imagine?)<\/p>\n<p>His current enterprise in default is his partnership with Lenny and IMBS<br \/>\nMasturbators Society. Despite his promotion skills, copywriting skills and<br \/>\npersonal magnetism, IMBS was never able to attract more than 25 paying<br \/>\nmembers. Hardly enough to keep him in fake Rolexes and fancy brass rings. As<br \/>\nthe blogs have exposed, IMBS was launched with copy stolen directly from<br \/>\nGIN, complete with references to Kevin Trudeau and GIN. He wasn\u2019t even<br \/>\ncompetent in plagiarizing GIN literature. His title creating skills haven\u2019t<br \/>\nwaned though, he titled himself Supreme Partner of IMBS.<\/p>\n<p>His time at NC, editing self help tapes and selling NC crap was covered in<br \/>\nblogs. Seems like the last honest job he had though.<\/p>\n<p>Currently Wink is flailing around scam world, looking for a scammer to latch<br \/>\non to after his last partner burned as many bridges as he could cross. He is<br \/>\nadvertising his skills as Master Copywriter and Sales Pitch creator on the<br \/>\nmost unprofessional webpage you can imagine<\/p>\n<p>Some have speculated that he lives off the hard work of his wife in their<br \/>\nSchaumberg condo, when IMBS started failing it seems she got suspicious and<br \/>\nstarted attending some of IMBS\u2019s dress up events to see what toilets her<br \/>\nhard earned money was being flushed. As a gainfully employed woman, I am<br \/>\nsure she can spot a business scam, and she is being scammed by her husband<br \/>\ninto thinking he actually has a job and a future. Other speculation is that<br \/>\nWink has withdrawn from his internet businesses and scammer societies in<br \/>\nhopes of finding a real job in the real world. I\u2019m not sure what kind of job<br \/>\na 50 year old failure at scamming is looking for but as of last year his<br \/>\napproach to finding a job was to call people he barely knows and act like a<br \/>\ndouche. Rather than ask for a job he says things like. \u201cWe should work<br \/>\ntogether on that thing you are making money doing \u2026. I would definitely make<br \/>\ntime in my busy copywriting and sales business to help get your successful<br \/>\nbusiness to the next level\u201d<\/p>\n<p>So far, no takers.<\/p>\n<p>The Peter Wink story would take hours to tell and is so full of doucebaggery<br \/>\nthat most people would find it hard to believe. But he is an unbelievable<br \/>\ndouchebag.<\/p>\n<p>One nugget of Wink\u2019s genius marketing:<\/p>\n<p>He did a promotion for his potential IMBS marks called \u2026 \u201d What is Peter<br \/>\nWink reading\u201d if you can find the video watch it. It is exactly as<br \/>\nridiculous as you are thinking.  In this video he mentions that he is going<br \/>\nto do an arm wrestling promotion soon. For fun I looked into that. Basically<br \/>\nhis arm wrestling promotion consisted of 4 posts to an arm wrestling message<br \/>\nboard, 2 posts where he stepped on his own dick and got called out as a<br \/>\nscammer and 2 posts apologizing for his other 2 posts. Another grand success<br \/>\nfrom the Supreme partner of IMBS. Peter Wink is a gold mine of hilarious<br \/>\nfailure stories. His promised multipart series stopped after the first<br \/>\ninstallment, possibly because he ran out of books or maybe he was sensitive<br \/>\nto the critical response. Which was hilarious, if I do say so myselves.<\/p>\n<p>Wink is small time in scamworld, not worth a whole blog. He is worth our<br \/>\nattention as fans of scamworld, because everything he does is an hilarious<br \/>\nfailure. Peter Wink is our opportunity to bash the victim of scamworld<br \/>\nwithout guilt. Stephanie Wink should be off limits, she is a collateral<br \/>\nvictim who only gets dragged in to it by her choice of husband.<\/p>\n<p>Wink\u2019s scamworld story began in his early 20\u2019s with his imagined involvement<br \/>\nwith and real rejection by Tony Robbins. Nobody in Robbin\u2019s organization saw<br \/>\nany value in Peter other than his willingness to buy self help tapes.<\/p>\n<p>His scamworld career has pretty much been editing self help tapes and years<br \/>\nof bootlicking for the people whose tapes he edited. All of whom fired him<br \/>\nfor incompetence.<\/p>\n<p>Those of you who have had any experience with a scammer on whose fringes<br \/>\nWink existed, please share. I would like to establish the timeline and fill<br \/>\nin the empty spaces. Not to fight any scams, but to fill out the caricature<br \/>\nof a wannabe scammer who gets victimized by the real scammers.<\/p>\n<p>He has been described as a Pimp who provides diseased whores by someone who<br \/>\nhas real credentials in the publishing world. I view him as more of the<br \/>\nwhore, one whose options disappear with every year and every new scam his<br \/>\nname is on. He is obviously stupid, he either gets outwitted in every scam<br \/>\nor has no idea how to keep a scam running.<\/p>\n<p>I question why new scammers would deal with him after he did his best to<br \/>\nthrow his last 2 employers under busses. Even going as far as volunteering<br \/>\nto help the feds. Even if that meant LYING to the feds. Maybe trudeau took a<br \/>\nbucket of gold out of a safe to impress Wink, but seriously? Anyone buying<br \/>\nthis? A lifelong scammer entrusting Wink with info that could land him in<br \/>\njail? A safe filled with gold that the feds didn\u2019t find when they<br \/>\nconfiscated the property. There is so much untilled earth here. Any new info<br \/>\n(or old info) would be appreciated. He seems like a guy who has been a<br \/>\ndouchebag since elementary school. If he stole your pencil in 2nd grade, I<br \/>\nwould love to hear about it. Most bloggers have bigger fish to fry,<br \/>\ncompetent scammers to ridicule and other important business. I am not<br \/>\nsimilarly constrained, I just want to tell a funny story and to pick a fight<br \/>\nwith \u201cAccomplished Martial Artist\u201d \u201cStreetwise tough guy\u201d and \u201cMaster<br \/>\nCopywriter\u201d Peter Wink.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>All posts by guests are guest opinions and or writings.
