Do you remember one Randall Riecke?
He followed close on the heels of Kimberly The Articulate and Shari The Loud and some other Emerald Passport recruiters. In fact, I never bothered to check him out completely, and for a while I fancied he might actually be "one of the ladies."
Anyhoo, he was always polite and reasonable and "fair" when he talked about Emerald Passport. I couldn't really ban him because he was coming from somewhere that didn't lend itself to banning.
So I made his name a naughty word.
Alas, he apparently caught on to that and started posting as plain old "Randy," always with his site or email address slipped in somewhere.
Well I didn't just fall off the turnip truck yesterday, so I zapped him as fast as he could post his Emerald Passport crap.
But as hard as I try to be perfect, occasionally something does slip between the old toenails, and this one did (and if you were to follow the URL I missed, you would see it was, indeed, Randall Riecke's Emerald Passport site). (Shame on me!)
Okay, so anyhoo, I guess Randy got sick of having all his email addresses and links zapped, so he has been relatively quiet of late.
Then Dave started posting.
Now Dave is a different story... here's one of his posts, and and another (there are more, but you get the idea).
Dave is nasty.
Inarticulate.
Hateful.
Stupid even.
Nothing like Randall Riecke.
=========================
DA DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA.....
Can it BE....
can it really truly BE.....
that Dave is really Randall Riecke?
I suppose it's possible that they don't share the same army uniform, but coincidentally, three posts came from the same place (thank you samspade.org):
IP! 147.240.236.9
I'll post the details at the bottom of this message.
=========================
Now I ask you...
Do you want to do business with the likes of Dave?
Do you want to be in his downline?
Even if it is the answer to all your financial woes (for the record, it ain't)... do you WANT to get into Emerald Passport under his leadership?
Flooey!! I'd ask if you want him defending your country, but you know how I hate to stray off topic!
Luv,
MaaMaw

| 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!!). |
