FIB - Scams 101 - Ye Olde Archives
Posted By: Bluto Samartino In Response To: Re: NO, I do not "recommend" busiesses (Tina)

I-can't-handle-the-total-truth syndrome to me. But hell, I may be wrong (rolling eyes).
I never said that every biz op is a scam, although I can see how the title of that post might have lead you to believe that.
What I meant was that I do not usually recomend business to folks, especially when they come here asking about certain biz opps that are less than truthful and make outlandish, less-than-honest claims of money, wealth, and financial freedom.

WTF, Tina. Surely, you jest(no exclamation point).
So what are you doing here wasting your time with Primerica (Citi FInancial, CitiGroup) when you could be making millions in just a coupla years. with minimal effort.
Sure, I am certain that there are a few opps out there that can eventually get you ot a point of minimal effort, bu tthen, what lucrative business wouldn't after years of accumulating profits and running a solid business with good money sense? ANyone, once they are wealthy, can make money with miinimal effort, to a certain degree. But these businesses are not for everyone (actualy not read not for most), especially those that have no clue about busines, time management, marketing, and so on.
SO why is that you are interested in Citi Group, something that is so obviously a cult (especially if you attend the meetings) and so ovbiously a scamy MLM (not that all MLMs are scam, on the contrary, there are a few very legit MLMs out there with great and even popular products that do not take the cult or slimy sales man approach to marketing and sales but rather focus on a quality product to move).

Thank you for that tidbit. I guess, then, that I am living a lie all these rears I have been both successful as well as miserably scammed with onoine businesses and biz opps. My bad.
Well, gotta goto work for a coupla hours, because, NO I am no longer being successful in my online ventures currently so I have to work a part time job to help mak eends meet. But make no mistake. Just becasue I am not succesful right now it does not mean that I have no good advice. On the contrary, my experience makes me more credible than most, especialy those that, to be blunt and short with you, come to a forum like this and say things like this...

| 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.

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!!). |
