No more eyeball poking!

In Response To: Poking out my own eyeballs!! (MaaMaw)

There you are MaaMaw! I've been wondering why you haven't responded to my emails, and you've been over here the whole time chatting it up! I guess if I'd been visiting the board like I should, and not poking MY eyeballs out with the website facelift, I would have talked to you sooner. :-)

Anyhoo... I can't remember if I told you this during our email exchanges, but for at least the first 2-3 weeks of my eccurency trading 'career', I only did pre-pay (P4) trades with other merchants. Today, since DXGold is closed to new merchants until the new system is released, I guess P4 trades is all you can do.

The P4 process is basically this:

1. You go to http://www.dxprepay.com or http://www.request.dxprepay.com and you request a P4 transaction. Let's say you have $100 egold to use...you put in your request, telling all the merchants what you have. One of them will jump on it like a fly on crap (usually within a few seconds, sometimes minutes, VERY rarely days).

2. They will generate a pre-payment to your DXGold account for 105% of the amount you invested. Or 107% for investments of $1000 or more.

3. You go to your DXGold account and "claim" the $105, but it's not actually released to you until...

4. You transfer the agreed upon eCurrency ($100 egold in this case) to the merchants egold account.

5. The merchant releases the funds to you which goes into your DXG available balance. You just made 5% on your money in a few minutes.

6. You can then transfer (OutXchange) the funds from your DXGold account into the ecurrency of your choice and do it all again. OutX's cost you 2.85% and can take a few days, but I've been getting $250+ OutX's processed in under 6 days.

Since the OutX costs you money, your net gain is around 2.15%. But hey, where can you make that on your money, over and over again, every few days??

So, you can do P4's until you're blue in the face, and it will get you comfortable with processing basic transactions.

Let me know if that helped anyone...

NOTICE TO SCUMBEEZLES
(you know who you are... you scream "Foul!" when the truth comes out)

        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.
        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.

        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!!).
