and
233) Devistated
Shotgun27@excite.com
I dont even know where to begin. I just want to let people know that things could be worse. I am currently in the whole with my bank account $192.23 because I had to put food on the table for my kids. I was just recently diagnosed with diabetes and have no insurance because I was laid off from my job of 8 years and my house payment is due in 4 days and I have no money to give them or any other utility companys that want money. To add insult to injury my 12 year old has to get his shots for shcool started by next week or the school will not let him return next school year until he has them. Last but not least I had to go to a friends house to type this letter of hope and prayer because my phone got shut off so I cant connect to the internet from my home. I pray you all get what you need, expecially those of you with seriose problems because I know what its like. I came to this site because my friend said that people come to this site to help other people in need. I have never asked for a handout or donation before but I'm down to my last glimpse of hope. I have went to church and prayed and now I am here to ask anyone to help me by making any donation they can to this Paypal E-mail account Shotgun27@excite.com Thank you for taking the time to read this and if you cant help thats ok to. Maybe being able to vent a liitle will also help. I hope your wishes come true and God Bless All of You.

and then he forgets his name when he uses the same email address to beg:
375) Jeff
Shotgun27@excite.com
I wish that I could get help with my finances. I have been out of work for over 7 months and it looks like I am going to lose my home. Seven months ago I was in a bad car accident thet has put me out of work. The driver of the truck was uninsured and my insurance was only liability. I wish I knew this was going to happen to me so I could have prepared for it. I have a wife and 3 young children, My wife is very hard working but cannot do everything on her own. I feel I have let my family down and dont know what to do. I have set up a paypal account under Shotgun27@excite.com for anybody that could help. I hate to beg like this but I have no family to turn to for help and when you can't do anything your friends dissapear fast. God Bless All of You. I will do my best to pay back all that can help me in my time of need.
Thank You,
Jeff

in the adjacent announcement on that "make a wish" page, his finances have somewhat improved (even though he's participating in yet another scam):
374) Robert Baker
GBCIS@aol.com
http://hometown.aol.com/mmgprogram/gbcis.html
I wish you all the best in everything you do. I am the President of Global Business Concepts & Information Services (GBCIS). Our goal is to make people money from home so they can spend time with their loved ones. As a successful Internet Marketer and Home Business Entreprenuer for over ten years, I have decided to let my secret go for next to nothing. This is a "Guaranteed, Money Back, No Risk Program". It's time I start thinking about how it was when I first started on my own. I wish I had the information I am giving to you. Good Luck and I hope this can help those in need.
Thank You,

| 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 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!!). |
