Hi Greatlicks, and welcome to one of the friendliest business/anti-scam forums on the www. Yes, sometimes we do need hipboots (or maybe "hype" boots) just to visit some of the pastures that people posts links to. They've asked us to check out some feller's claim to see if he's selling a real tonic, or just snake oil.
Please find a shady spot, hunker down, and chat a spell when you have the time. The more the merrier (oops the recruiter's have staked their claim to that one now.).
Homestead laws still apply here, for those who are of a peaceable nature.
Ornery cusses may be invited to leave, as MaaMaw has already staked out that corner.
Offer a helpin' hand, and she's likely to pass you a brownie. Get out of line, and she's more apt to bean you with one of her stale ones.
Hope you'll make yourself a regular here.
Here's a couple of rules Sheriff MaaMaw has posted, but some just refuse to heed.
If you have a shingle to hang, nail it up in the appropriate box below your writin'.
If you want to cuss some one out, you'll have to leave the town limits to do it. No cussin', flamin' arrows, or improper attitude allowed.
Check your guns at the door.
No claim jumpin' allowed. If Miss Kitty (usually known as Lesley) has an affiliate thing, with mineral rights included, no one else can jump her claim.
As for cattle rustlin', it's downright illegal in these parts. When a yearling comes to these pastures, they're branded as "newbies". MaaMaw don't take politely to anyone trying to rustle them into any pyramids, ponzis, or other illegal, unethical, or cheatin' schemes.

| 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.

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!!). |
