FIB - Scams 101 - Ye Olde Archives
Posted By: Bluto Samartino In Response To: Re: Real home base jobs (Sandi Bowman)

Yes, what sandi is suggesting is definitely viable, but not exactly the same.
What sandi is suggesting is that you could work at home, but moreso for yourself. Which is completely different than working at home for an employer.
Working for an employer means you hav eno expenses and the work is all cut out for you AND you get a paycheck every two weeks or whatever.
Working for yourself means that you start a business which means that you must incur expenses like licenses, adervertising, office equipment/supplies etc, and then to boot there is NO guarantee that you will get paid (AKA making a net profit).
But I suppose, if you really want a good chance at working at home you are most likley going to achieve that by starting your own business. But as I said, there is no guarantee that you will see any money and there is a 100% guarantee that you will need to spend money before you can even find out if you will make any money. In fact, the odds are totally against you for actually turning a profit as the vast majority (I think like 95%) of all business startup end up in failure and therefore loss of money/time.

| 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.

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!!). |
