Well... not really fed up... this is more of a rant or a ramble full of biased and prejudiced opinions ... feel free to ignore this post or even add some critical feedback. I won't mind or care. :blah2:
So here it is... Be warned about any business opportunity or any advertisement for that matter that does not tell you exactly what you're going to do to make all that wonderful money they promise you. Be aware of any company or person wanting to charge you money before you even find out what it is you're going to be doing. (Example Carbon Copy Pro)
A family friend referred me to a site with that product on it and was all excited about it. He said he wanted to pay the application fee and suggested I join in.
I asked him one simple question "What will you be doing exactly?" He couldn't tell me. So I read the sales page and immediately my gut feeling told me it was something to stay away from.
Then I googled "Carbon Copy Pro Scam" and found a ton of postings. No surprise.
I think most people on this forum already know this, and are way too smart for this, but I will post this anyway, just in case.
Don't waste your money, energy and time on any product or business opportunity that wants you to PAY them to tell you what exactly it is that you're getting and what it is you'll be doing to get money. It's a sham, its a scam its a rip off. Some people are really slick and have managed to keep the FTC and the Gov at bay through loopholes in the system, but anyone worth a grain of salt is going to tell you upfront what this is about.
MLM schemes are notorious for this and I'll probably get some backlash here from MLM cult community members but that's how I see it and I'm sticking to it. Comments?
