I have turkey soup on the stove and I have to keep stirring it, so I can't dawdle long. I may not even make sense, but here's my quick impression:
> CSC Credit Card
> Solutions Corp.
Don't know anything about them.
> Processing Debit Mastercard Applications (IndigoCARDS)
> 20.00 for every card app that is approved (they say that everyone is)
If everyone is approved, they sure don't need to pay you $20 to process applications; they can do it MUCH MUCH cheaper in their own office (if indeed they have one).
> plus 1.00 per month override from all active customers
Credit cards and debit cards that people get through the back door usually tend to include exorbitant disgusting hideous fees, and once people catch on, they cancel the card and raise hell all over the place (although at that point it doesn't do them any good).
> I would get a FREE debit card (key word here DEBIT)
But you can get a FREE debit card from your own bank.
The key word here is DEBIT. To use a debit card, you have to have money sitting right there to DEBIT the money from. Who wants to send their money to these people when they can put it in their own bank?
> All i have to do is send in 50.00 for a registration Deposit and...
> 4.00 S&H. I will recieve my deposit back after i generate and register 5
> new members.
Bullcaca.
Lemme see... they want YOU to pay THEM so you can get paid a ridiculous fee to process applications that really don't need processing because EVERYONE is approved.
Something's rotten in Finland.
> Ok I know it sounds good
Nope, sounds awful.
> have called and got a busy signal and their is no web site for this
> either.
Oh gollywhiz. As Mel would say, "RUN, LOLA! RUN!!"
Luv,

| 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. Although we may, from time to time, monitor or review discussions, postings and the like on the Friends In Business (Scams 101) Message Board, we are under no obligation to do so. We are not responsible or liable for any claim arising from the content of any such discussions or postings or for any error, defamation, libel, slander, omission, falsehood, obscenity, pornography, profanity, danger, or inaccuracy contained in any information contained within such locations on the Site. You are prohibited from posting or transmitting any unlawful, threatening, libelous, defamatory, obscene, scandalous, inflammatory, pornographic, or profane materials or any material that could constitute or encourage conduct that would be considered a criminal offense, give rise to civil liability, or otherwise violate any law. You are likewise prohibited from posting any false claims against any company or individual. We will fully cooperate with any law enforcement authorities or court order requesting or directing us to disclose the identity of anyone posting any such information or materials. By posting messages and/or content on the Friends In Business (Scams 101) Message Board, you give permission for Lesley Fountain/Friends In Business/Shoestring Success Publications to display, distribute and use the posting and content for publication, advertising, promotion, excerption or example.

If you cannot accept or agree with the terms of service for this website and discussion board, you are advised not to post on this board. In closing, I would like to remind you once again that it is still legal, in this great country of ours, to express a PERSONAL OPINION, as long as it is presented as opinion and not as fact. 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!!). |
