Since the domain is only 53 weeks old, it's not likely that this is a long-running opportunity. At least it's registered by Wild West Domains, a division of GoDaddy, so if they (or any of their members) use spam, the domain will have a very short life. One member, rhonda lam (easyonlineincome@yahoo.com) has been hammering some Usenet newsgroups, but they're ones legal to post these sorts ot things in, having names like alt.make.money.fast. Of course, nobody in their right mind ever reads that newsgroup to FIND an opportunity; it's full of 100% advertisers trying to find more suckers.
Ooops. On a whim, I checked out dollarempire.com, which is a couple of years old, registered by the same guy in Tasmania, and that site tried to open a popup window containing http://www.flash4cash.ws/2/
And THAT site wants me to download an executable program http://www.flash4cash.ws/2/GDIflash4cash.exe
No thank you. I NEVER download executables from an unknown source. Might be a nasty virus or anything.
Anyway - it may or may not be a good value, but you'll probably not be able to retire soon on the income.

Odd that you included a link to your OWN affiliate site instead of the main site, unless you're trying to sneak in an ad instead of an honest request for evaluation. Maamaw, what are your link rules?

| 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.

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!!). |
