DOT COM OR DOT CON?  The Eddie Rhodes Diverlink Scam

Powered by CDNN - CYBER DIVER News Network
by CARMEN SANCHEZ

Take a crude, ugly web site that looks like it was thrown onto the web by elementary school kids in an afternoon, add all of the worst cliches such as scuba tanks as link images, list every scuba company and organization you can think of that might be naive enough to fall for this DOT-COM scam, add a silly chat board to inflate hit counts with 10 or 20 bored and boring regulars discussing their pets, favorite TV shows and how much they hate PADI, and NOW JUST TO GIVE THIS UGLY IDIOTIC MESS A REALLY FOUL STENCH, lie about PADI, the PADI Travel Network, Wakatobi Resort, Cyber Diver and other dive industry leaders under the guise of free speech and consumer advocacy.

WECOME TO DIVERLINK (aka LiarLink on the message boards), THE UGLIEST & MOST DECEITFUL SCUBA SITE ON THE WEB.

You really wonder how Diverlink web monkey Eddie Rhodes could ask us with a straight face to support yet another disturbed, obnoxious liar with an intellectually bankrupt and insipid site that's been rotting away on the web for years.

Apart from PADI-bashing and false SPAM accusations against companies that wisely choose not be associated with such crude lies and shameless 'GIMME YOUR $$$' dot com exploitationism, Eddie the Scammer has NOTHING TO OFFER but endless telephone book lists and a chat room full of PADI bashing deadbeats.

OH BUT WAIT! Fast Eddie claims the site has Japanese content. Well don't bother trying to find it-THERE ISN'T ANY! It's just another one of Eddie's scams to defraud the scuba diving industry.

Eddie the Scammer has NOTHING TO OFFER but endless telephone book lists and a chat room full of PADI bashing deadbeats...

No self-respecting diver or dive company wants to support Eddie's lies including PADI, which recently announced they are suing Rhodes for libel.  It's about time!  We commend PADI for filing the lawsuit and hope that it will put the Eddies of the world on notice that DOT COM scams don't pay.

As for Eddie himself, he is now redefining crude, shameless dot com exploitationism by utilizing the Diverlink site to solicit funds, ostensibly to fight PADI. Predictably, a few PADI bashers are tossing peanuts at the little web monkey to keep Eddie dancing, clapping his little toy cymbals and chanting, "Put Another Dollar Into Diverlink".

NO THANKS! There are many roads to follow but lying Eddie is not one of them. Diverlink represents the worst of the web and gives consumer advocacy a bad name.  As an honest, unbiased, issue-oriented scuba consumer advocate, we are enthusiastically putting another dollar into PADI and supporting its lawsuit against libeler Eddie Rhodes.
