FIB - Scams 101 - Ye Olde Archives
Posted By: MaaMaw
Tuesday, 2 August 2005, at 7:33 a.m.
The following message was posted in the wee hours -- caught by our beloved Mel White while I was snoozing on the job.
Of course it came from the same "CanBecky/Beckandy" IP#67.114.221.239 (insert big DUH here).
Sorry this is so big, but when I made it smaller, you couldn't read it.)
Let it be known that the FIRST THREE positive messages about the Linda Christas organization were NOT nuked. They currently reside
here and
and here and
Soon they will roll off into Ye Olde Archives, at which point they will reside
and there they will remain for all eternity.
Attitudinally speaking, this is my attitude (do you like that sentence?):
I welcome "persons (notice the S on the end?) who actually know something about Linda Christas" --
in fact, I welcome ALL personS who have something positive to say about a web site, product, organization, or opportunity as long as there is reason to believe they are telling the truth. (Lest you EPI and LLI people are tempted to jump in here, I'll save you the trouble; you don't fall into the "telling the truth category.")
However, when all the personS come from the same IP number -- even if they *are* parentS (PLURAL) writing through the "Linda Christas Help Desk" -- it would be suspect on any board.
THIS BOARD IS PRIVATE PROPERTY.
When I have JUST CAUSE to believe a single person is TRESPASSING ON MY PRIVATE PROPERTY and masquerading as several different people --
whether I am right or whether I am wrong --
I have the RIGHT and I have the OBLIGATION to step up to the plate.
I will choose to nuke the messages without further ado --
or, if I think it is something that could be helpful to people researching an opportunity, I will POINT OUT THE *POSSIBLE* CONFLICT and leave the messages up.
In this case, I chose the latter, because there is nothing more telling than a phony reference.
I could be right and I could be wrong.
This is MaaMaw, editing my own message several hours later. It now appears I *COULD* BE wrong (ugh!)... see this message for details (and if you get "no message," assume it has rolled into Ye Olde Archives and use this link instead.
You also need to read the message from "Tim," another "parent volunteer," which is here (or in the archives)...
PLEASE take the time to follow these links! This really is *very* important stuff if you're considering investing your hard-earned cash.)
Maybe this is some kind of weird setup where ALL the Linda Christas parents and members actually *do* write through some "Help Desk" and that's the only IP# that shows. But y'know, at this point, wouldn't you think someone *other* than a "parent from the help desk" would step in and show them the error of their ways?
It is NEVER NEVER NEVER good netiquette to show up with the same IP number and several different names, and it is ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS the right of the board owner to squelch such behavior.
Linda Christas...
if you're reading this, it's time to remedy the situation and tell your parents to write through their OWN internet connection (which is what I PERSONALLY BELIEVE "they" are doing right now, but like I said, I could be wrong, and anyhoo, I'm getting off track again).
Linda Christas Parent(s)...
Your first three glowing recommendations are right where you left them, and there they shall remain.
And Linda Christas' Attorneys...
There is NOTHING libelous in my analysis of said "glowing recommendations," and to mess with me would be a TOTAL WASTE of your valuable time. Indeed, it would be like feeding your client's money to a hungry goat.
Luv,
MaaMaw

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!!). |
