Their letter seems to beg a question or two:
We Are Direct Marketing Specialists, 21 Years. Our Focus Is To Make Our Distributors Money By Mailing Our Circulars To Our Buyers Names.
You mean, so YOU don’t have to pay all that postage. And, by the way, how much will it cost me to get my hands on that big list of your “buyer’s” names. And how may other people, besides me, will have those same names to mail stuff to?
We Are Very Serious About Our Efforts, And Successful Because Of Our Direct Response Expertise. We Do Not Send Names Through A Phone Book, That Would Be Counter Productive. Our Aim Is To Get As Many As 1000 Distributors That Are Earning Weekly Commissions From Us Simply Mailing Our Circulars To Our Proven Buyers Names. These Names Are People Who Have Requested The Information From Us,
Wait a sec; didn’t you just say they were names of people who BOUGHT from you? Now they’ve morphed into folks who just requested info. Hmmmmmmm!?
We Pass It On To You Thereby Giving You $1,000's Of Dollars In Profits.
And a rather large postage bill, too, huh?
We Make Money Only When You Make Money.
You mean you don’t make any money if I don’t make any money? Why do I find that hard to believe?
Our Help Mailing Dept. Also Ensures That Our Distributors Make The Money They Need By Mailing Between 100 to 500 Circulars To Buyers Names Under Your Registered Computer ID#.
But didn’t you indicate your distributers (me and all those other entrepreneurs) do the mailing. Which is it?
We Have Many Success Stories, However Many Want To Keep Their Anonymity.
Isn’t that convenient?
The Success Stories On Our Website Is Proof Positive That Our Program Works.
Are they REAL folks - or those figments of the imagination that so many opportunity peddlers use?
If We Can Be Of Further Assistance To You Please Let Us Know.
Well....how about letting me talk to some of those real distributors who are making all that money.
And We Welcome You As One Of Our Newest Success Stories.
Yours For Success
Is it me you welcome - or my money?

| 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. You grant Lesley Fountain/Friends In Business/Shoestring Success Publications complete, perpetual, but non-exclusive rights to use, archive, reproduce, adapt, modify, distribute, sub-license, repurpose, rework, compile, or offer for sale or resale the messages, postings or content appearing on this site in whole or in part, throughout the world and universe, on a royalty-free basis without remuneration. 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!!). |
