FIB - Scams 101 - Ye Olde Archives
Posted By: Dennis Bevers <bassco2@bellsouth.net> In Response To: Experience from the Heart! (The big dog!)

Thanks for your kind words. I feel honored to be listed with the others you posted. Most of those have the same kernel of truth that I often site, "Real work really works!"
The end result of true and on-going profits is generated by providing something that others want and need. Some have made huge sums by various scams and schemes, only to find out that the moneyflow comes to a sudden stop when buyers discover they don't offer products or ideas with real value.
Additionally, a bizopp that include consumable itens with good repeat order potential increases the likelihood of sustainable income. Those that offer "backend" sales also boost the income prospects for products that are usually one time only purchases.
And occasionally, a bizopp will include the option for "duplicating your success", a priciple that I learned back in college over 20 years ago. Find a bizopp with the right combination of products that you are passionate about, with good commissions, repeat sales potential, and the option of sponsoring others, and you may never need to punch a clock again.
Warning: You might find yourself spending many more hours working in your own business than you ever worked on a job, but that is your option and mine.
The one point I differ with you on is about sales. You posted-
> It doesn't matter what you do for a business. Don't believe the hype that
> you don't have to talk to people. If you don't have the courage to tell
> people what you have to offer or the ability to speak to them face to face
> you will have no luck with anything.
I have associates in my business and know of others in different industries who have found that they can sell online without two-way communication. They put their products on a website, with good sales copy, and earn income through automated shopping cart purchases. This can apply to unique products such as ebooks, software, and even hard goods. Many people are earning good income on eBay with only limited contact, mostly email, so no real face-to-face or voice-to-voice contact is necessary.
Obviously it doesn't work with any and all products, but it is possible.

| 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.

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!!). |
