I'm about 99% convinced

In Response To: Currency Exchange (Brittni)

Hey there Brittni, nice to meet you!

OK, so here's what I know...

First, there's a ton of people and posts here on currency exchange. Actually, its how I wound up here on this site.

Second, the room seems divided on currency exchange, but I really do trust Dave M and I've corresponded with Dave Bennett who started another site... DXPower Team.

Thus I'm about 99% convinced that it is a real thing.

I haven't had the courage to invest however. When and if I do, I will give the board a play-by-play.

Regarding the Mazu publication, he asks for a pile of cash that I believe you would do better investing in the DXPowerteam venture (Provided you trust the whole concept... some don't). Keep in mind... Mazu teaches you to do exactly that... the same exact thing that DXPowerteam is doing. The difference? Mazu charges you to learn it and DX doesn't.

Look around here, look around in the archives... you will find PLENTY of information to allow you to make your own choice, but I think this is a big step in the right direction for you compared to the envelope stuffing things.

If you DO choose to get involved, do so with the following advice:

1. Do NOT use more money than you are comfortable losing. Perhaps the 200 beans you were considering dropping on Mazu.

2. Be prepared for a lot of learning and confusing topics from some rather unorganized sources of information.

3. Be patient and don't expect overnight riches AT ALL.

4. Just in case... when they ask you for personal information and multiple ID information, use innocuous things like your student ID and Drivers License rather than a choice like Drivers and Credit card... or bank statement... or something like that.

I hope that helps. Feel free to ask me questions if you'd like, but remember, I'm still in the "investigating" stages and by no means knowledgeable outside of what I've learned thus far.

Cheers!

Sean

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. 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!!).
