FIB - Scams 101 - Ye Olde Archives
Posted By: Bluto ^_^ In Response To: MaaMaw, Do you know anything about Health Career Agents, Inc.?? (Tanya)
Saturday, 2 September 2006, at 5:24 p.m.
Tanya,
Do you have a web address you can provide?
The thing is, while most of us here probably have never even heard of the company, we can help you to decide whether or not it is a scam and whether or not it could realistically work out for you if it isn't necessarily a scam.
If they don't have a web address (which I doubt), then any other sites you can point us to and any more information you can give would be helpful.
One valuable tip I can give you, regardless of who the company is, is...
Have you met with them and/or actually talked to someone that is either on the "owner end" or actually works for the company? If so, was their main focus just telling you how great the opportunity is and how, especially since you are an ex-nurse, you will be a GERAT fit and do very well for yourself?
If so, RUN AWAY!
IMHO, if they are not scammers, since they require such a large investment, they should be more concerned with whether or not they think you are realistically a good fit for the opportunity. In other words, if they talk to somebody who does not actually appear to want to actually *work* the business to get successful because they just want the money and get rich quick, then they would not want a person like that to pay them the large 35K because that person is just going to end up being a dismal failure and them possibly give the company a unfair bad word of mouth (assuming the company is actually legit and the business is viable).

| 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 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!!). |
