FIB - Scams 101 - Ye Olde Archives
Posted By: Jim Wilson In Response To: Vondre Whaley----The "King" of the "$10 MONEY- MAKING SYSTEM" (Marjorie)

Hey Marjorie,
When you sign on to receive something from someone via an email (sign onto their "mailing list") you are asking them "Hey, send me your offers".
At this point you can do one of two things....
1. Continue getting them, read them in order to get ideas that you might be able to use, and make the best of it.
or
2. Ask to have your email address removed.
Sadly many times when you sign on for one mailing list you end up on many more. That is one great reason to NEVER give your "real" email address to anyone. Get yourself some free email addresses to use to "throw down" whenever some marketer ask for your email addy. And use one email address per request. This will serve a couple of purposes.
1. It will keep your "real" email address something that you can use to communicate with friends and family without having to worry about 100's of junk emails coming in.
2. If you use one per request and you only give it out once then you will quickly learn who is trustworthy versus who is willing to share your info. Clue: If you start receiving spam then they sold your info so even if you didn't buy something from them they still make money off of you.
Best of all if you use a "throw down" email addy then you can simply abandon it at any time and just make another. The person/company who is hitting that email address with all of their ads will never net anything from you. (time, money, effort, or energy)
Once again NEVER give out your real email address!
Hope this helps,
Jim Wilson

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.

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!!). |
