Make Money At Home!

Words to Live By:
'If it sounds too good to be true, it is'
and:
'There's a sucker born every minute'

These people always start with 'I am just tryin to help you'
.. yes .. they are.
Out of any money you may have.
They prey on us using the promise of decent income (even astronomical pie-in-the-sky numbers), then tell us it's a 'limited' offer.
Ch'yaa, right .. go ahead ..let the counter count down and see what it says afterward ..
..they want your money, nothing more, nothing less.

No Fee!
Free (insert whatever catch phrase they use to hook you here, ie: kit, program, video's, DvD's ..etc)!
Oh.. there's a 10 dollar shipping fee
. . then a 40 dollar fee just to see if you're serious!
..then a 'coach' calls and asks if you can invest a few hundred dollars in whatever school, retreat, phone conference, ..any straight out bull shit story they can soak you for..
..and meanwhile, setup a website on your own dime (or ads, accounts, affiliate applications, or any number of other ways to make your money go away while you waste your time)

It's too bad you cant just punch them dead in the mouth for every dollar that *you* spend after they say the 'Free' word in 'their' scam.

Can you do something about it?

Yes.

Just Say No.

NO!!

If you have been bitten by one of these scams, do yourself a favor.

Read what the FBI has to say, and report them using the links on their site.
I even got my money back by copying the link and the report I filed with the FBI to the scam I got bitten by.

And I *still* get form letters in the mail,
I use my spam filter a lot.
And now and then, I come across another scam, ..like a once-hooked bass, I angle up, look at the bait shining and glinting in the water, ..and ...

..I Just Say NO!!
(and beleive me, that is the polite version)
