After reading this post, visting the LC site, and reading the blog posts on the links provided by Maamaw, one would certainly be a fool to even bother with this company.
If you follow LC posts throughout the internet and on this site, you will see that they have no professional skills and that they avoid answering certain, basic, obvious questions, all of which the proper answer would expose the company for what it really is. There does in fact seem to be a concerted effort by peopoe to bash this company all around the net. However, none of th ebashing I have seen comes from a person who would receive a gain if LC was closed down. They are simply comments from the wounded or simply level-headed people who can't get the wool pulled over their eyes easily.
Just the simple fact that they filter all copmpany communications through a central "help desk" is enough to just say "bye, bye" to such Nazis and socialists. And if they don't do this and they are lying about it and simply using one computer and more than phone person (when any rational person would know that this would make them look shady anyway) then, well, it's good enough of a reason to stay away from them.
If LC is a legit opportunity and that blogger is just an a-hole spreading lies to get traffic, he is an idiot, he should be sued for his stupidity, LC would have sued him yesterday and won the case the day before that (as any sane company that is in the right would)...and I am a pink elephant.
This is a joke. Truely, a long and boring joke, fellas. I'll keep my eye on LC personally and make sure tha tfolks on other forums are directed both here and to google to do some deep searching on what others have to say about LC and how LC conducts it's "marketing' on forums.
The downfall of LC will be the fault and doing of LC alone. No one else will be responsible. When you deal in shady practices as LC does, expect scruitiny beyond control and watch it ruin your whole shady operation as deserved.
Truth hurts.

| 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!!). |
