Posted By: BizNewbie In Response To: Re: There ARE REAL home-assembly jobs........ (Dennis Bevers)
Monday, 18 July 2005, at 5:42 p.m.
Dennis,
My friend approached several, small computer stores he had done work for as a programmer. He installed most of their customers' software, etc at his house and set up the hardware at the customers' houses. He then also pitched them for "computer lessons". So technically you are right, it was not really in his home, but in someone elses.
A guy who I used to know would set-up exercise machines in his clients homes, he had a pick-up truck and most would fit.
The only true "assemble-at-home" job I have ever seen was, as mentioned above, a guy I knew in university would got paid to put together wooden doohickys in his house. The company (local) would drop off the supplies and h got paid for each one he put together. Since I was not into all this stuff back then I cannot recollect what they actually were,

| 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.

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!!). |
