FIB - Scams 101 - Ye Olde Archives

Part of the same thing happened to me...

In Response To: Hacker questions- Can someone go into (Carla Ball)

It was the weirdest thing.  I could go to most any other site and see everything, but on FIB and AmericaZoo, I had NO graphics at all.  Of course, I completely freaked.

I'm not suggesting the same cause, but this is what I discovered in my case:

I rebooted my computer and nothing changed, then I remembered that I had installed Norton System Works.  That was the beginning of a horrible nightmare that I won't go into here, but I decided to take a chance and restore my system to the nearest restore point (it was about a week earlier, as I recall), and magically, all my graphics came back.

I can't begin to explain such a screwy thing -- I mean, how could the graphics on a website have anything to do with my own computer messing up??  It was something about my computer not SHOWING me the graphics on my two sites while MOST other sites were fine (but I did find one that wasn't, which gave me the clue that it might be on my end).

Very, very strange.

> For days I was number one for Carla's Stained
> Glass Creations on google and msn - now I get the page that says "NOT
> FOUND".

You are coming up for me #1 on Google (and #2 and #3...)

Of course this makes me wonder if, like me, the problem is on your end.

> My page rank was 4/10 now it is 0/10.

This has happened to me several times, and one thing I discovered was that if I don't type the www, I'm a zero, but that is neither here nor there.

I'm no expert, but my guess is that the 4/10 was a mistake.  I could be wrong, but it seems way too early to achieve a page rank that high -- maybe someone else could jump in here??

You said you had to re-do everything -- you mean just upload it, right? 

People always say, "Be sure your website is backed up."  I'm never quite sure what they mean, because I consider it "backed up" by having it on the web and on my computer -- you do have it all on your computer so all you have to do is upload it, right??

Sorry you're having problems, but it seems to go along with the territory.  My life on the net is one hair-pulling fest after another.

Luv,

MaaMaw

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!!).
