> Welcome:
> Kareema Zakia Young-Ratliff
> 5104 Hillen Rd
> Baltimore, Maryland, 21239
> 443-874-3929
> You run Kay's EPage Free Ad site: http://linkspal.tripod.com/index.html ?
> Why run a site like that? To snag people's addresses to pitch your own
> stuff at them?
> I can absolutely guarantee that what you've been doing is ineffective:
> free classifieds. Those are all about sellers, and no sane buyer would
> ever look in those cesspools for a real product.
> Here's one you posted:
> Aug31-Baltimore Maryland Seeking home typists to work from their
> homes.Very simple work and great pay. You will be processing orders on
> your computer through email. Light typing skills are required. You must
> have a computer with email access.Average earnings $300-$500 weekly.
> Serious applicants only. 410 433-2757 Kay kzy2004@msn.com
> If the average is honestly $300-$500 weekly, then you should be happy. If
> it's not, then you should not have made that claim in your ad.
> For instance, you posted last year:
> Oct4-Baltimore Maryland Earn a regular weekly income from home giving away
> free information packs. Earn $1 for every pack you give away. More details
> at: http://www.cjbclerical.com/affiliates/aff.cgi?a=121 Kareema
> kzy2004@msn.com
> This looks extraordinarily scammy, and no amount of advertising will make
> it into a successful enterprise, unless you're the one who started the
> scam.
> "CJB Clerical is now hiring home based staff worldwide.
> We need dependable, enthusiastic, motivated individuals worldwide to help
> us with our
> Research and Marketing Campaigns.
> When you register as an Independent Home Worker with CJB you will be
> undertaking various
> work at home positions.
> These Positions Include:
> Email Processing
> Internet Research
> Processing Orders
> Compiling Mailing Lists
> Online Advertising
> Sales Representative
> And Other Various Tasks As They Arise
> Each position is optional you can choose to work just 1 position or work
> all of them.
> It is completely up to you. The more positions you work the larger your
> income!
> All work is done online via the internet. All you need to qualify for a
> position is a computer
> with internet and email facilites. No other experience is required we will
> provide you with full
> training for each position.
> Payments
> Each position pays as follows:
> * Email Processing: $10 per email processed (Paid Instantly)
> * Internet research: $25 per research assignment (Paid Weekly)
> * Order Processing: $5 per order processed (Paid Instantly)
> * Mail List Compiling: $1 per name compiled and typed (Paid Weekly)
> * Online Advertising: 25 cents per ad typed and $1 per response
> * Paid $10 per new home worker you recruit (Paid Weekly)
> * PLUS Weekly Cash Bonuses
> * Get paid Every Friday"
> I suspect the job could also be described as "harvesting addresses
> and spamming them for fun and profit"
> Here's another free ad you posted:
> Kay's Free Referral Service Posted: 9/24/04
> Location: All
> If you're like me, sick and tired of paying for
> information you could probably get for free, well
> I'm here to tell you that my Referral Service is
> Absolutely Free and in your quest for
> information/knowledge, you may find my site to be
> very helpful. There will be many links to choose
> from that could probably be to your benefit.
> Check it out for yourself and don't worry, it's
> completely Free-of-Charge. *See URL info. below.
> Email: kzy2004@msn.com Web Site:
> http://kaykay284.tripod.com/kaysfreereferralserviceindexhtml
> How about you find a good product or service to advertise, and then worry
> about how to market it. That's my best advise, seeing what you've done in
> the past. You're just going about it backwards.
> Oh, I see you also call yourself "linksgal". Well, I know the
> owners of Global Domains, so just make sure you never spam an ad for your
> movie.ws opportunity. Greenzap is a scam, says
> http://www.greenzapscam.com/
> I have another idea now - focus.
> Stop wasting time on 20 different "fantastic opportunities" and
> decide on one. One that has a real product or service. Not one advertised
> by thousands of your competitors with breathless hype and spam.
> There are support boards for MLM addicts, but FIB isn't one of them, so
> perhaps the advice you're likely to get is not what you're wanting to
> hear.

| 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!!). |
