I wanted you to read my post beacause you need to. See my responses below. They are very important...

Sure that sounds great and ideal, but the fact of the matter is, when you are trying to figure out if a biz opp or program you want to get involved in is a scam or not, the last person you wnat to contact for the answer is the actually participants in said biz opp. Ask any one of the Nigerian scammers if he is a scammer and he/she will NOT say "Yes". That would be dumb. A crook is never gonna tell you he/she is a crook. That would be self-defeating for the crook. Your logic is highy, extremely, and painfully flawed.

Oh? And how on earth would you know that for sure? The answer is you wouldn't ever be able to know for sure as you do not know who is using their real name here and who is using their real name when they contact you.

Uhhhh, well, I'll give you that one. I won't answer it since I know it will not be well received. BUT YOU HAVE TO UNDERSTAND WHERE THE OWNER OF THE FORUM AND OTHERS ARE COMING FROM. IT IS A BAD IDEA FOR MULTIPLE PEOPLE TO POST WITH THE SAME IP ADDRESS. 99.99999999999999999% OF THE TIME IT IS THE ACT OF FRAUDSTERS OR TROUBLEMAKERS.
And yes, I did mean to shout that because you have been told this a thousand MFing times yet you folks there seem to not understand it or ignore it. The owner of this forum, nor the owner of any other forum, does not have the time or the resources to be able to know your "special" circumstances and most forum owners don't give a hoot. They will simply ban your IP address if it is used fo rmore than one person. AND that is the end of the story. Becasue nobody usually uses a "system" like you folks claim to be using.
Play by the rules, learn forum ettiquette, and you'll be OK. If you are NOT a shady company, that is.

| 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.

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!!). |
