Posted By: Bob Baroner In Response To: Oh goody, Bob... yet another game of "Catch Me If You Can"..... (MaaMaw)

> Yes I did.
> No, I'm not.
> You didn't read my first post very well, did you Bob??
> After making it perfectly clear that I had only RECEIVED the course three
> days earlier, this is what I said:
> "(The sad part is, I won't be able to apply the heavy stuff right
> now because I can't take any more detours, but my head is spinning just
> thinking how it can help me in my Ebay *dabbling* -- so if you're serious
> about Ebay and you have the time, I *really* believe this can be your
> ticket to success.)"
> Note the following details:
> STATEMENT: "I won't be able to apply the heavy stuff right
> now..."
> IMPLICATION: I haven't followed the steps in this course myself yet.
> STATEMENT: "...thinking about how it can help me in my Ebay
> *dabbling*..."
> IMPLICATION: I'm going to keep right on dabbling because I have too
> many other things going on, but I EXPECT it will help me tremendously even
> at the "dabbling" level.
> STATEMENT: "...I *really* believe..."
> IMPLICATION: It is my *personal opinion*...
> STATEMENT: "...this can be your ticket to success."
> IMPLICATION: Just what it says -- it CAN be, not it WILL be your
> ticket to anything. Like everything else, it depends entirely on
> what each individual does with it.
> Why yes, you did.
> You missed all of the above.
> If I had already applied what is taught in the course and made a bundle of
> money with it, you can bet I would have made it abundantly clear.
> HERE'S THE POOP (again):
> The course answers literally HUNDREDS, maybe THOUSANDS, of questions I
> personally have had since I started *dabbling* on eBay.
> I have done a ton of research and have come up with some of the answers on
> my own, but I have spent countless hours doing it, and I've found enough
> conflicting opinions to bring on a ten-year migraine, and of course
> there's no way to know which conflicting opinion is right because
> everybody's an expert, right?
> This course:
> is unbelievably comprehensive, covering every topic in great detail...
> puts all the answers at my fingertips...
> in an organized manner...
> in step-by-step fashion wherever practical.
>
> It is based on:
> the experience of an individual who started selling his own cast-offs,
> just like most of us do, and is now selling over $8 million in products
> per year on eBay alone.
> It was researched, written, and compiled by:
> the Internet Marketing Center, founded by the Late, Great Corey Rudl and
> carrying on in his footsteps...
> Which gives me confidence that...
> it has been carefully and accurately researched...
> it is based on the PERSONAL EXPERIENCE of an individual who has been
> there, done that, and is still doing that...
> I can count on what it says and follow the guidelines it sets forth and
> know that I am on the right track.
> It is my personal opinion that anyone who has dabbled on eBay and felt
> they were being nickle-and-dimed to death and frequently screamed,
> "WHY? WHY? WHY?" as they were listing yet another stack of items
> that required 8 hours of their time and would probably net them 20 bucks,
> and they swore they were going to quit but every time they made a sale --
> even a little one -- the adrenalin started flowing and once again then
> were hopelessly addicted, but they wanted more MORE *MORE* and they were
> sure it was out there if only they knew how.....
> WHAT?
> Oh yes...
> It is MY PERSONAL OPINION --
> from READING THE COURSE and seeing what I personally have turned up
> through hours and HOURS and *HOURS* of research, PLUS about a thousand
> times more --
> all neatly laid out for me in usable form --
> that anyone who has dabbled in eBay as more or less a hobby but they have
> felt, and continue to feel, the desire to make *real* money almost
> literally burning a hole in their gut (because it can be SUCH an exercise
> in futility if you don't really know what you're doing) cannot help but
> profit from this course.
> And furthermore...
> it is MY PERSONAL OPINION that anyone who reads this course and doesn't
> benefit enough to justify the price of shipping both ways -- (remember,
> your satisfaction is 100% guaranteed but you pay shipping) -- is either in
> a coma or brain dead.
> Sorry to disappoint you, Bob.
> You aren't going to catch me in any lies or even any exaggerations, but
> you can sure keep trying if it makes you happy.
> Luv,
> MaaMaw
> P.S. Oh, and thanks for asking. You gave me a great
> opportunity to talk about the course all over again.

| 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!!). |
