Ok here it goes.....
> My first question is what he had to pay to become an "independent

The answer to this is no. He got in through a "friend".
> My second question is what he had to pay to become a "certified
> auditor."
Certification came with the suplies that were sent to the office wich we did not have to pay for. the only money paid out on this has been the postage.
that alone has added up to about 300 dollars. .35 to mail the fliers and 35 for the sase (self addressed stamped envelope) inclosed with fliers. (.70/encelope 500 envelopes)
> My third question is: Who certified him? Is there a government agency that

There are several reports concerning EWA, (I will get the addresses for you to read the reports.) All of these reports are by national magazines and national news papers.

mmmmmmmmmm..... I must confess I have no idea. However I can scan and email you the info that we recieved.
> I confess I don't know anything about the "waste auditing"

I am starting to agree. based on the fact that we have seen no return on this.

once again no payment to this company.

you having a burned hiney is the reason I asked

sounds good. for my bosses sake I hope we are wrong about this.
thanks again for everything

| 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.

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.

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!!). |
