Posted By: Gary In Response To: Re: Questions about Don Alm (Christopher Zak)
Wednesday, 19 October 2005, at 8:52 p.m.
I'm sorry to say I've had the same unreliable experience with Don, great talker but he doesn't answer his phone, even at the time he tells you to call and he is not a man of his word.
A couple of months ago he said he was going to update his Midas report and asked for the interest level in the different programs. In exchange he would be sending a free report for our time. I took the time to go through each program for him but these many weeks later he has not come through with the report.
> Hi Steve,
> I guess it's time to step in Here since I've had
> almost the Same Experience with My Purchase.
> When I ordered, I was expecting to receive the package
> within a decent time frame (5 to 7 business days.)
> I'm in Florida, so I expected it to take a little longer.
> It took OVER 10 Business Days to receive.
> (So, You received it Quicker than I Did...)
> I Also paid for it via Credit Card, so, yes, It SHOULD Have
> been expedited sooner.
> I had called 3 times and had to leave a message asking to either:
> 1. Call Back (left phone number)
> 2. Email Me with response.
> 3. Respond to emails sent to Him.
> It seems that I have to email First,
> Leave 2 messages on His answering Machine,
> and wait about a day or so for a response.
> ********
> In regards to the TP Truck, I had asked Him Numerous Times about this
> because I wanted to know how it went.
> He FINALLY Responded with an Answer to that question
> His Answer was as follows:
> "Couldn't get the thing put together. Too much Red Tape."
> I returned a Q in regards to this with No Response, yet.
> My Q was this:
> "Did You send Anything to the Victims of Katrina?"
> So... I wasn't impressed.
> ********
> I think that Don is a (somewhat) creative Genius when it comes to
> His Ideas, whether or not they have Actually been IMPLEMENTED By
> Him, that's another story...
> Here are Some Other Issues that I have with the Midas II Report.
> Since the Report was Vague, to say the least, in it's
> procedures and plans to Run the Businesses included in the program,
> I had to Ask a few more Q's.
> 1. No Product Name for the 'Deck Cleaning Biz' was included.
> 2. No Product Name was given for the Oil Stain Remover Biz.
> 3. No Manufacturer was given for the Refrigerator Magnets was Included.
> I was given the answer to #1 and #3 to complete the info,
> but was told for #2:
> "The guy I was getting the Oil Stain cleaner from went out of
> business a year
> ago and I haven't taken the time to find a replacement."
> The Midas II Report also gave Websites (URLs) to visit as a part of some
> of the programs.
> ALL LINKS WERE DEAD...
> One of the links I told Him about, His Response was:
> "the [URL not given out of respect to Don's Info]
> site was dropped by the guy who bought the biz from me...
> and if there are other pages that are not active it's because
> they have been dropped."
> I'm Not Bashing Don here,
> BUT, If He's going to sell programs like this,
> Especially at the Prices that He's going to be selling them,
> He DOES Need to Focus on Responding to His Customers,
> AND Give UPDATED - VALID Info...
> Personally, I would not count the 'Oil Cleaning' Biz as part of the
> 50 Reports of Midas II Report BECAUSE He did NOT Include the
> Product Name that He Taunts is so good of which, is SUPPOSED to Be
> considered a major selling point to the Biz Idea.
> Either Way, I DO like the materials, though vague,
> they're Great Ideas, just the same.
> Hope This Helps.
> Thanks.

| 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!!). |
