FIB - Scams 101 - Ye Olde Archives

Attention to all MLM's who maybe using Referralware.
There are scammers out there claiming that they are
from Referralware when they are NOT Referralware.
Be aware of any phone calls from salesman and /or representatives
of any marketing group or company.
The pitch may read something like this , they will say they
are from Referralware and they can help you build
you MLM business fast on the internet. The first things they will say
will be , are you happy with your current business?
If you could make 3-5 thousand a month after 3 months would
you be interested in learning about our internet business training
/mentoring/websites/ebay ect......
Then they will say , we are looking for people who are coachable
and teachable, looking for decision makers , go- getters, people
who can out 5-10 hours a week into their business (By the way
when starting your own business 5-10 hours a week is NOT going to
make you successful. Your own business would demand at least
30-40 hours a week minimum for it to get off the ground)
The next thing you should expect from this phone call will be
questions about your credit. Do you have good credit? How big is
your credit limit? Can you get your credit limit raised higher?
These question are designed to coax answers that will set the
price of their so called great mentoring/website/ training
program . The price will likely be close if not the same as
your credit limit. WOW, isn't that a coincidence.
If you hear this in your conversation , OPM , other peoples money,
we show you how to use leverage , OPM , to make you money and
start your business. We will show you how by using a balance
transfer on you credit card.
If you hear these things , I suggest you hang up the phone
immmediately. A balance transfer is very hard to contest to your
credit card company when you find out what you were promised
by the salesmen IS NOT WHAT YOU ACTUALLY GOT or GOING TO GET.
Any legitimate company does not need to do this. If they are real,
when you get your package/training/ whatever and you are not satisfied
with what was expected you should get your money back.
Be careful and always check things out before you buy anything.

| 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 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.

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!!). |
