MaaMaw is soooooo right and speaks from her own experiences.
I too have only recently realized that doing my own thing is the only right thing for me.
After following "my Mentor" into one company and losing over $12k I blindly followed him into his next venture. Only this time he was the President of the company and he was a friend so I trusted him. It was a company similar to Emerald Passport, a financial services company. I paid $3000 to use the financial advisors they told me had an incredible background and had helped soooo many people. Well these so called financial advisors took my money and are nowhere to be found. I have recently started sharpening my claws on my mentors company in attemting to get my money back but I doubt it will ever happen.
It was coming here that made me see the error of my ways. I am currently enrolled at my local college and learning to use Dreamweaver. I am getting ready to start work on my first website and will be sure to post a link here when it is done.....(may be a while I am still learning)
So pull up a chair, have a brownie and start reading. There is so much helpful info here. Oh and don't overlook Maamaw's clicky notes ;)
Good luck to you! To thine own self be true!

| 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.

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.

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!!). |
