FIB - Scams 101 - Ye Olde Archives

Hi all,
I have been taking a break from life for awhile, I had a relapse of chronic fatigue. I am trying to get started on getting ready for my fundraising event in June and get my new website started. I need a new digital camera. My current one is only a 2.0 MP and a 7MB internal memory card.
I recieved a Publishers Clearing House consolation prize of $400 towards the purchase of a 6.6 MP, 16 MB digital camera & DVR, records up to 5 minutes of videos with voice, expandable to 2 1/2 hours. It is also a MP3 player and web camera. Those 2 are not really a big issue with me. It comes with Adobe Photoshop Album, Photovista Panorama/Vista, Image broadway. Photo Impact, Photoshow Deluxe, Send Photos Gold, 25,000 Clip Art, My Scrapbook 2 AND FINALLY Personal Image Manager. All this for 149.95 after I use my $400 GIFT. I realize the price is close to others in 150 range. I have compared and searched ebay, CDW, Circuit City, etc
I have MS Office with Publisher, Photo Manager and Powerpoint. I have yet to master these. What I want to do is create a presentaion on CD's to mail out to prospective clients for my glass work and something different for the fundraiser and post new pics on my site. I have not shopped for software or electronics for 2 years. So much has changed. After all this - I want to know if this camera could be the same thing on ebay for 30-80 bucks? - BUT with no software plus you have to figure out the type of seller they are. Sorry they do not provide a brand.
I really don't want to spend more than 200, I would like to get the expanadable memory for videos. I know PCH merchandise is over priced Fingerhut, dollar store stuff- but this caught my eye. I looked the software up and couldn't find some of the things. Do I really need all those programs? Any advice is appreciated. Thanks guys- Carla

| 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!!). |
