FIB - Scams 101 - Ye Olde Archives
Posted By: Rose Marschall In Response To: Re: My opinion is different from Paul's... speaking from experience in the biz. (The Roadie)

I have been involved with Liberty league for 6 months. I put in $10,000 and did not make one dime. I beleive there are a lot of folks out there like me. I worked/duplicated the system and did not get the results. Now they all say you create your reality and I do beleive that to some extint. I also beleive it takes a lot of money for overhead to run this business. They are dishonest about that. I know folks who have been in the business for over 6 months and because of the 'comraderie" they keep stiking it out. I almost lost my marriage over this business, am going to have to file bankruptcy and am emotionally spent. When I ask for help and what I may be doing wrong, I get nothing just stick with it when it happens it happens fast.
The main challenge with these programs is that you put your heart and soul into it and see no benefits to yourself or others. How long can one go on with telling folks that this is a system and if they duplicate it they will get the same results? As I write this I realize that, I still am attached to the program and if I had another $5,000 I would have stayed in. Your average folks dont' have this type of income to invest (I didn't and shouldn't have.) If the system worked 100% of the time I wouldn't be depressed, broke and writing this e-mail. I wonder if these programs attract people with addictive type of personalitites. My husband says I can't be rationale and that I act like an addictive gambler. Just one more month...and then I'll make it.
Any feedback form others would be great.

| PLEASE READ THIS LEGAL NOTICE CAREFULLY BEFORE YOU FILE A LAWSUIT OR EVEN WASTE TIME THINKING ABOUT IT. It has been done before, but never successfully. In fact, the last dodobird who tried it ended up being ordered to pay more than $77,000 in attorney fees ($65,000+ to my attorneys and $12,000+ to my co-defendant's legal advisor).
If your attorney is worth his salt, he's going to tell you that the expense of filing a lawsuit you can't win is a whole lot worse than any "damages" resulting from messages posted on this insignificant little chunk of cyberspace. NEWS FLASH: I didn't just climb down off that ol' turnip truck yesterday. I'm well aware that expressing a negative opinion, relating one's personal experience, and restating provable facts are all legal in this country and do not constitute libel, slander, or defamation -- so you don't want to play games with me, and you sure don't want to start something you aren't prepared to finish. I don't take threats lightly, and I don't accept bribes (or did you call it a "mutually-beneficial arrangement"?). I'll turn you in faster than you can yell, "ARREST ME, I'M SCUM!!" Do yourself a favor and turn your legal team loose in greener pastures.

And finally, all you scammers out there will do well to remember that TRUTH IS AN ABSOLUTE DEFENSE against charges of libel, defamation, and slander... so if you're operating just a hop, skip, and jump ahead of the law, you might want to think twice before doing anything stupid... (AND SHAME ON YOU!!). |
