In Response To: I'm torn on this one..... (MaaMaw)

===========================

DISCLAIMER BY LESLEY FOUNTAIN, BOARD OWNER:

It should be noted that NONE OF THE STATEMENTS OR ALLEGATIONS IN THE FOLLOWING MESSAGE HAVE BEEN VERIFIED.  They could ALL be true, there could be SOME truth in them, OR THEY COULD ALL BE FALSE.  I do not claim ANY personal knowledge about the statements in the following message.

This message provides ONE PERSON'S POINT OF VIEW and ONE PERSON'S EXPERIENCE -- that of Christopher Zak, the INDIVIDUAL WHO POSTED IT.  It is your responsibility, as the reader, to CONDUCT YOUR OWN RESEARCH ON THIS INDIVIDUAL IF YOU HAVE A PERSONAL INTEREST IN DOING SO.

Hi Lesley,

I've got the Emails (With HEADERS, of which makes it a SOLID Case) of don and his lying, cheating, and scam for promoting his wares.

He admitted via email ('cause he doesn't have the cajones to TALK OVER THE PHONE UNLESS You tell him that You're going to ORDER) regarding him not sending the Toilet Paper Truck (as promised by his ad...)

He Did NOT Send the Complete Package as Advertised,
and the Package was, as explained by the FTC Website's Description,
a Complete BAIT and SWITCH...
(I'm Sure that Jason can provide the link 'cause I'm in the midst of completing a project right now and don't have the time for the next few days to get to it.)
I don't even have the time to post here, but need to defend Jason on His pursuits.

The Oil Stain Remover program in the midas II report did NOT supply the product name. When don was confronted about it, he LIED and said that his supplier went out of business and hasn't had the time to find another.
A few weeks later, he's advertising the Oil Stain Remover program again on his website.
I, again, confronted don about it and that's when he basically flew off of the handle and offered the refund.
AFTER he offered the refund, he was NO Where to be contacted...
he wasn't Man Enough to respond to ANY Emails or phone calls from Me.
I have the phone bill to PROVE that I made in excess of 15 calls to him SINCE,
and could not get through.

I will provide Whatever You need from Me if I'm able to supply it to You.

I have even PERSONALLY Contacted the Oregon Department of Justice to turn him in for his Hurricane Katrina SCAM.
Also, I'm awaiting the results from the charge back.
You can Bet the Farm on this:
If he disputes it, I will have Grounds to file a complaint with the Oregon Attorney General's office and will do so faster than You can BLINK an Eye!

Most of the people that I've seen defend this guy ALL Seem to have a vested interest in him or don't know how he conducts business, so Of COURSE People are going to defend him...

If You would like to contact Me, PLEASE, Do NOT Hesitate to Do So...

Oh yeah, Happy New Year, too!

Respectfully,

Christopher

NOTICE TO SCUMBEEZLES
(you know who you are... you scream "Foul!" when the truth comes out)
        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!!).
