“Consumer Reports” is a testing service. Their online site is to (pay to use the site) to its members access to information. The company and the place is not a Betrug.Wenn any claim that you join their website, do surveys and get paid for what they are claiming fraudulently, CR and should be avoided at all costs.

New Yorkers Protest the US0 BILLION (US TRILLION) Wall Street BAILOUT: Wall Street, NYC – September 25, 2008

VOTE YOUR CONSCIENCE on 04 NOVEMBER 2008!

Photographer: a. golden, eyewash design – c. 2008.

Friends,

The richest 400 Americans — that’s right, just four-hundred people — own MORE than the bottom 150 million Americans COMBINED! 400 of the wealthiest Americans have got more stashed away than half the entire country! Their combined net worth is .6 trillion. During the eight years of the Bush Administration, their wealth has increased by nearly 0 billion — the same amount that they were demanding We give to them for the "bailout." Why don’t they just spend the money they made under Bush to bail themselves out? They’d still have nearly a trillion dollars left over to spread amongst themselves!

Of course, they are not going to do that — at least not voluntarily. George W. Bush was handed a 7 billion surplus when Bill Clinton left office. Because that money was OUR money and not HIS, he did what the rich prefer to do — spend it and never look back. Now we have a .5 trillion debt that will take seven generations from which to recover. Why — on –earth – did — our — "representatives" — give — these — robber — barons — $ US850 BILLION — of – OUR — money?

Last week, proposed my own bailout plan. My suggestions, listed below, were predicated on the singular and simple belief that the rich must pull themselves up by their own platinum bootstraps. Sorry, fellows, but you drilled it into our heads one too many times: THERE…IS…NO…FREE… LUNCH ~ PERIOD! And thank you for encouraging us to hate people on welfare! So, there should have been NO HANDOUTS FROM US TO YOU! Last Friday, after voting AGAINST this BAILOUT, in an unprecedented turn of events, the House FLIP-FLOPPED their "No" Vote & said "Yes", in a rush version of a "bailout" bill vote. IN SPITE OF THE PEOPLE’S OVERWHELMING DISAPPROVAL OF THIS BAILOUT BILL… IN SPITE OF MILLIONS OF CALLS FROM THE PEOPLE CRASHING WASHINGTON "representatives’" PHONE LINES…IN SPITE OF CRASHING OUR POLITICIAN’S WEBSITES…IN SPITE OF HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE PROTESTING AROUND THE COUNTRY… THEY VOTED FOR THIS BAILOUT! The People first succeeded on Monday with the House, but failed do it with the Senate and then THE HOUSE TURNED ON US TOO!

It is clear, though, we cannot simply continue protesting without proposing exactly what it is we think THESE IDIOTS should/’ve do/one. So, after consulting with a number of people smarter than Phil Gramm, here’s the proposal, now known as "Mike’s Rescue Plan." (From Michael Moore’s Bailout Plan) It has 10 simple, straightforward points. They are that you DIDN’T, BUT SHOULD’VE:

1. APPOINTED A SPECIAL PROSECUTOR TO CRIMINALLY INDICT ANYONE ON WALL STREET WHO KNOWINGLY CONTRIBUTED TO THIS COLLAPSE. Before any new money was expended, Congress should have committed, by resolution, to CRIMINALLY PROSECUTE ANYONE who had ANYTHING to do with the attempted SACKING OF OUR ECONOMY. This means that anyone who committed insider trading, securities fraud or any action that helped bring about this collapse should have and MUST GO TO JAIL! This Congress SHOULD HAVE called for a Special Prosecutor who would vigorously go after everyone who created the mess, and anyone else who attempts to scam the public in future. (I like Elliot Spitzer ~ so, he played a little hanky-panky…Wall Street hates him & this is a GOOD thing.)

2. THE RICH SHOULD HAVE PAID FOR THEIR OWN BAILOUT! They may have to live in 5 houses instead of 7. They may have to drive 9 cars instead of 13. The chef for their mini-terriers may have to be reassigned. But there is no way in hell, after forcing family incomes to go down more than ,000 dollars during the Bush years, that working people and the middle class should have to fork over one dime to underwrite the next yacht purchase.

If they truly needed the 0 billion they say they needed, well, here is an easy way they could have raised it:

a) Every couple makeing over a million dollars a year and every single taxpayer who makes over 0,000 a year should pay a 10% surcharge tax for five years. (It’s the Senator Sanders plan. He’s like Colonel Sanders, only he’s out to fry the right chickens.) That means the rich would have still been paying less income tax than when Carter was president. That would have raise a total of 0 billion.

b) Like nearly every other democracy, they should have charged a 0.25% tax on every stock transaction. This would have raised more than 0 billion in a year.

c) Because every stockholder is a patriotic American, stockholders should have forgone receiving a dividend check for ONE quarter and instead this money would have gone the treasury to help pay for the bullsh*t bailout.

d) 25% of major U.S. corporations currently pay NO federal income tax. Federal corporate tax revenues currently amount to 1.7% of the GDP compared to 5% in the 1950s. If we raised the corporate income tax BACK to the levels of the 1950s, this would give us an extra 0 billion.

All of this combined should have been enough to end the calamity. The rich would have gotten to keep their mansions and their servants and our United States government ("COUNTRY FIRST!") would’ve have a little leftover to repair some roads, bridges and schools…

3. YOU SHOULD HAVE BAIL OUT THE PEOPLE LOSING THEIR HOMES, NOT THE PEOPLE WHO WILL BUILD AN EIGHTH HOME! There are 1.3 million homes in foreclosure right now. That is what is at the heart of this problem. So, instead of giving the money to the banks as a gift, they should have paid down each of these mortgages by 0,000. They should have forced the banks to renegotiate the mortgage so the homeowner could pay on its current value. To insure that this help wouldn’t go to speculators and those who tried to making money by flipping houses, the bailout should have only been for people’s primary residences. And, in return for the 0K pay-down on the existing mortgage, the government would have gotten to share in the holding of the mortgage so it could get some of its money back. Thus, the total initial cost of fixing the mortgage crisis at its roots (instead of with the greedy lenders) is 0 billion, not 0 BILLION.

And let’s set the record straight. People who have defaulted on their mortgages are not "bad risks." They are our fellow Americans, and all they wanted was what we all want: a home to call their own. But, during the Bush years, millions of the People lost the decent paying jobs they had. SIX MILLION fell into poverty! SEVEN MILLION lost their health insurance! And, every one of them saw their real wages go DOWN by ,000! Those who DARE look down on these Americans who got hit with one bad break after another should be ASHAMED.! We are a better, stronger, safer and happier society when all of our citizens can afford to live in a home they own.

4. THERE SHOULD HAVE BEEN A STIPULATION THAT IF YOUR BANK OR COMPANY GOT ANY OF OUR MONEY IN A "BAILOUT," THEN WE OWN YOU. Sorry, that’s how it’s done. If the bank gives me money so I can buy a house, the bank "owns" that house until I pay it all back — with interest. Same deal for Wall Street. Whatever money you need to stay afloat, if our government considers you a safe risk — and necessary for the good of the country — then you can get a loan, but WE SHOULD OWN YOU. If you default, we will sell you. This is how the Swedish government did it and it worked.

5. ALL REGULATIONS SHOULD HAVE BEEN BE RESTORED. THE REAGAN REVOLUTION IS DEAD! This catastrophe happened because we let the fox have the keys to the hen-house. In 1999, Phil Gramm authored a bill to remove all the regulations that governed Wall Street and our banking system. The bill passed and Clinton signed it. Here’s what Sen.Phil Gramm, McCain’s chief economic advisor, said at the bill signing:

"In the 1930s … it was believed that government was the answer. It was believed that stability and growth came from government overriding the functioning of free markets.

"We are here today to repeal [that] because we have learned that government is not the answer. We have learned that freedom and competition are the answers. We have learned that we promote economic growth and we promote stability by having competition and freedom.

"I am proud to be here because this is an important bill; it is a deregulatory bill. I believe that that is the wave of the future, and I am awfully proud to have been a part of making it a reality."

FOR THIS NOT TO REOCCUR, This BILL SHOULD HAVE BEEN REPEALED! Bill Clinton could have helped by leading the effort for the repeal of the Gramm bill and the reinstating of even tougher regulations regarding our financial institutions. And when they were done with that, they should have restored the regulations for the airlines, the inspection of our food, the oil industry, OSHA, and every other entity that affects our daily lives. All oversight provisions for any "bailout" should have had enforcement monies attached to them and criminal penalties for all offenders.

6. IF IT’S TOO BIG TO FAIL, THEN THAT MEANS IT’S TOO BIG TO EXIST! Allowing the creation of these mega-mergers and not enforcing the monopoly and anti-trust laws has allowed a number of financial institutions and corporations to become so large, the very thought of their collapse means an even bigger collapse across the entire economy. No ONE or TWO companies should EVER have this kind of power! The so-called "economic Pearl Harbor" can’t happen when you have hundreds — thousands — of institutions where people have their money. When we have a dozen auto companies, if one goes belly-up, we DON’T FACE A NATIONAL DISASTER! If we have three separately-owned daily newspapers in your town, then one media company can’t call all the shots (I know… What am I thinking?! Who reads a paper anymore? Sure glad all those mergers and buyouts left us with a STRONG and "FREE" press!). Laws Should have been enacted to prevent companies from being so large and dominant that with one slingshot to the eye, the GIANT FALLS and DIES. And no institution should be allowed to set up money schemes that NO ONE understands. If you can’t explain it in two sentences, you shouldn’t be taking anyone’s money!

7. NO EXECUTIVE SHOULD EVER BE PAID MORE THAN 40 TIMES THEIR AVERAGE EMPLOYEE, AND NO EXECUTIVE SHOULD RECEIVE ANY KIND OF "PARACHUTE" OTHER THAN THE VERY GENEROUS SALARY HE OR SHE MADE WHILE WORKING FOR THE COMPANY. In 1980, the average American CEO made 45 times what their employees made. By 2003, they were making 254 times what their workers made. After 8 years of Bush, they now make over 400 times what their average employee makes. How We have allowed this to happen at publicly held companies is beyond reason. In Britain, the average CEO makes 28 times what their average employee makes. In Japan, it’s only 17 times! The last I heard, the CEO of Toyota was living the high life in Tokyo. How does he do it on so little money? Seriously, this is an OUTRAGE! We have created the mess we’re in by letting the people at the top become bloated beyond belief with millions of dollars. THIS HAS TO STOP! Not only should no executive who receives help out of this mess profit from it, but any executive who was in charge of running his company into the ground should be FIRED before the company receives ANY help.

8. CONGRESS SHOULD HAVE STRENGTHENED THE FDIC AND MADE IT A MODEL FOR PROTECTING NOT ONLY PEOPLE’S SAVINGS, BUT ALSO THEIR PENSIONS AND THEIR HOMES. Obama was correct to propose expanding FDIC protection of people’s savings in their banks to 0,000. But, this same sort of government insurance must be given to our NEVER have to worry about whether or not the money they’ve put away for their old age will be there. This should have meant strict government oversight of companies who manage their employees’ funds — or perhaps it means the companies should have been forced to turn over those funds and their management to the government? People’s private retirement funds must also be protected, but perhaps it’s time to consider not having one’s retirement invested in the casino known as the stock market??? Our government should have a solemn duty to guarantee that no one who grows old in this country has to worry about becoming destitute.

9. EVERYBODY NEEDS TO TAKE A DEEP BREATH, CALM DOWN, AND NOT LET FEAR RULE THE DAY. Turn off your TVs! We are NOT in the Second Great Depression. The sky is NOT falling, Chicken Little! Pundits and politicians have lied to us so FAST and FURIOUS it’s hard not to be affected by all the fear mongering. Even I wrote to and repeated what I heard on the news last week, that the Dow had the biggest one day drop in its history. Well, that was true in terms of points, but its 7% drop came nowhere close to Black Monday in 1987 when the stock market in one day lost 23% of its value. In the ’80s, 3,000 banks closed, but America didn’t go out of business. These institutions have always had their ups and downs and eventually it works out. It has to, because the rich do not like their wealth being disrupted! They have a vested interest in calming things down and getting back into their Jacuzzis before they slip into their million thread-count sheets to drift off to a peaceful, Vodka tonic and Ambien-induced slumber.

As crazy as things are right now, tens of thousands of people got a car loan last week. Thousands went to the bank and got a mortgage to buy a home. Students just back to college found banks more than happy to put them into hock for the next 15 years with a student loan. I was even pre-approved for a USK personal loan. Yes, life has gone on with little-or-no-change (other than the whopping 6.1% umeployment rate, but that happened last month). Not a single person lost any of his/her monies in bank, or a treasury note, or in a CD. And, the perhaps the most amazing thing is that the American public FINALLY didn’t buy the scare campaign. The citizens didn’t blink, instead telling Congress to take that bailout and shove it. THAT was impressive. Why didn’t the population succumb to the fright-filled warnings from their president and his cronies? Well, you can only say ‘Saddam has the bomb’ so many times before the people realize you’re a lying sack of shit. After eight long years, the nation is worn out and simply can’t take it any longer. The WORLD is fed up & I don’t blame them.

10. THEY SHOULD HAVE CREATED A NATIONAL BANK, A "PEOPLE’S BANK." Since they’re really itching to print up a trillion dollars, instead of giving it to a few rich people, why don’t We give it to ourselves? Now that We own Freddie and Fannie, why not set up a People’s bank? One that can provide low-interest loans for all sorts of people who want to own a home, start a small business, go to school, come up with the cure for cancer or create the next great invention. And, now that we own AIG – the country’s largest insurance company – let’s take the next step and PROVIDE HEALTH INSURANCE FOR EVERYONE. MEDICARE FOR ALL! It will SAVE us SO MUCH MONEY in the LONG RUN (not to mention bring peace of mind to all). And, America won’t be 12th on the life expectancy list! We’ll be able to have a longer lifespan, enjoying our government-protected pension and will live to see the day when the corporate criminals who caused this much misery are let out of prison so that We can help re-acclimate them to plain old ordinary, civilian life — a life with ONE nice home and ONE gas-free car invented with help from the People’s Bank.

P.S. Call your Senators NOW !!! —> www.visi.com/juan/congress/

Since they voted against passing the extension of unemployment benefits and skipped out to "campaign" to us to be re-elected…call them and tell them you will vote for the other "guy" if they don’t get their act together!

UPDATE:

The Bailout Is A Truly Evil Disaster And Enabler Pelosi Must Go

We are hearing more and more reports of how badly the ill-advised banker’s bailout is being handled, multi-million dollar bonuses for Paulson’s old cronies at Goldman Sachs, billions going to finance the takeover of rival banks, making the "too big to fail" even bigger, and the taxpayer getting an otherwise rotten deal for their investment. We even heard a Republic senator asking how fast they could blow the money.

NONE of this could have happened without the fawning complicity of Nancy Pelosi, who infamously said it was Bush’s proposal, INSTEAD of coming forward with a robust alternative plan. Just like Bush, she believes she is immune, she believes she is unaccountable, and shame on us if we don’t do everything we can to defeat her this Tuesday, and replace her with Cindy Sheehan.

questions from John A : How do you report a psychic scam the right way
What would be the right way to report a psychic scam and lost money? I searched on google a bit, but it has not turned up much. It seems that they get through, even when reported? Serious replies only. Thank you:) It was not for entertainment. It was a “negativity” to remove. I was convinced that if I happen not to sacrifice money to remove some bad things. The only person who said they are not responsible for the bad things that happen that would not naturally best answer.

Qnet should not be aware of scam

article by Jenny Jonson

MLM Marketing has become one of the fastest ways to generate additional revenues and a lot of people who want to earn a quick dollar is good to use this medium to serve. There are a number of MLM companies that have come through the increasing demand of the same. You can choose to invest in each of these companies, but undergoes a thorough review of the business you want to invest in is always an advantage, because as you can on the reliability of your business and know whether it was the right media to invest or not. One of the best MLM companies all over the world, Qnet, and it offered the market some of the best products and has helped many people earn profitable returns through the binary system. Despite this, there Qnet fraud reported to be doing the rounds. But how far is this true and reliable, what you should know before blindly follow it. Qnet scam reports are totally unreliable and should be ignored anyway, because they have no truth in them. It is nothing but a marketing strategy used by most competitors because they relate to the position that Qnet, making sure that their client is rising rapidly. For this they resort to spreading scam reports, because they know that these people think twice before investing in Qnet and they can actually decide differently and invest in Qnet. You must not become victims of such reports, and always know the authors believe it is the intention before such reports without understanding the motives behind the same. Qnet scam reports from people who do not understand how MLM marketing functions. They are easy to invest money, but do not take efforts to ensure that the money needed to see and they get benefits. These are people who do not have success if they have not earned profits anywhere in Qnet with the binary system which is under Qnet is. It is a great place to invest and have the happiest customers around the world. So, without investing on unsubstantiated reports in Qnet. A lot of times Qnet scam reports are nothing more than a marketing strategy through a number of rival MLM companies used. This is so that they take the position that Qnet visit today. This is a simple strategy that the mental attitude of a common fact that goal, it is obvious that the distribution of such fraud reports twic3e people will think before you invest in Qnet Qnet and they can not invest at all after some thought . In fact they will continue to invest in and competitors. So you always have, with the intention of the writer for the faith, such as fraud reported.

Clothman. Fraudulent claim says Breakthrough charity
scam reports
Image by Alan Stanton
I scanned the leaflet above. It was one of many delivered to homes in Tottenham Hale by companies collecting clothing and other items for "good causes".

This particular company – Clothman Ltd – uses some of the same wording as in leaflets from SHC Collections. For instance: "We urgently need clothing . . . " etc. (Although this does not establish any direct link between the two companies.)

But as you see, the key feature of the Clothman leaflet is a claimed link to Breakthrough – a respected Breast Cancer charity. The leaflet even gives the correct charity registration number.

Breakthrough Breast Cancer completely denies the link and says that the leaflets are fraudulent.
In August 2010 the charity put this statement on its website. I checked back on 3 July 2011. Breathrough’s website carried the same statement.

"FRAUDULENT CLOTHING COLLECTION

"Breakthrough Breast Cancer is aware of fraudulent leaflets being distributed requesting donations of clothes and household goods to raise money for the charity.

"A number of residents have reported that they have received leaflets from Clothman Ltd that claim a donation of £100 will be made to Breakthrough Breast Cancer for every tonne of clothes collected. The leaflets feature a pink ribbon symbol and Breakthrough’s registered charity number.

"Chris Askew, Director of Fundraising at Breakthrough Breast Cancer, says: "We do not receive funding from Clothman Ltd and we are saddened that the suggestion of a charity donation is playing a part in this scam.

"We would encourage people who want to donate unwanted clothing and household items to take them directly to a charity shop, as this will ensure that the full value of the donations will go to a legitimate cause. There are a number of ways that people can support our life-saving work towards a future free from the fear of breast cancer."

"Trading Standards and the police have been notified and are investigating Clothman Ltd to prevent these fraudulent collections from happening in the future. If residents receive a leaflet from Clothman Ltd they should report this to supporterenquiry@breakthrough.org.uk and Consumer Direct (the trading standards help line) 08454 040506."

Companies House shows Clothman Ltd was incorporated on 13 November 2007. But the company was dissolved on 6 April 2010. It had not filed accounts and it should not be trading.

Facebook Hypocrisy

While Facebook administrators hastily flag and remove innocent pictures of natural breast-feeding Mom’s from member photo albums ala Flickr, the Social Networking site peddles soft-porn and objectification of young Women – many with seemingly artifical breasts – in their very own Facebook Flyer ads with a reckless disregard for their own Terms of Use which ban obscenity.

I should add that the gratuitous sexually exploitive images that accompany the Facebook Flyer banner ad have nothing to do with the product being sold and the that the Making Money From Home web site is largely reported on the Internet to be a Scam. Thanks for caring Facebook.

To save himself from Bush? They would still nearly one trillion U.S. dollars to distribute themselves left of course they do not – at least not voluntarily. George W. Bush was a 7 billion surplus when Bill Clinton left office to pass. Because money was our money and not his, he did what the rich prefer to do – to use it, and never see again. Now we have a 0.5 trillion debt, seven generations to recover it will. Why – on – the – - soil type – - our – “representative” this – robber – barons – $ US850 billion – - our – money, last week hit my own bailout plan. My suggestions, listed below were based on the unique and simple belief that the rich must pull themselves up by their own platinum bootstrap. Sorry, folks, but it drilled into our heads one too many times: THERE IS … … NO … FREE … Lunch ~! And thanks for encouraging us to hate people on welfare! So it should not have any benefits from the U.S. to you! Last Friday, after having voted against the bailout, in an unprecedented turn of events, house flip-flopped her “no” and said “Yes” in the race version of a “rescue” law agree. DESPITE THE PEOPLE ‘overwhelming rejection of the bailout BILL … DESPITE millions of calls from people like Washington “representative” phone lines … Despite Crashing OUR WEBSITES politicians … Despite hundreds of thousands of people protested across the country … They voted for this bailout! The people succeeded first on Monday with the House but failed to do so by the Senate and so the house is ON U.S. TOO! It is clear, however, can protest, we will not just proceed without this connection exactly what we believe these idiots should be / has you / one. So after consulting a number of people smarter than Phil Gramm, here is the proposal that is now known as “Mike has the bailout.” (From Michael Moore’s rescue plan) It has 10 simple, straightforward points. Are you sure you do not, but should have: 1 Appointed a special prosecutor indict prosecuted anyone on Wall Street who has knowingly contributed to this breakdown. Before any new money has been spent, should Congress be required to have resolution to prosecute anyone who had anything to do with the attempted sacking of our economy. This means that anyone, insider trading, securities fraud or any action that helped to create this collapse must be employed and must go to jail! This congress will be a special prosecutor, who has called strongly for all the chaos, and all others who cheat the public in the future, creating experiments. (I like Elliot Spitzer ~ then he has played a little hanky-panky … Wall Street hates him, and it’s a good thing.) 2 The rich for their own bailout paid! You may have to live in 5 houses instead of the seventh You have to drive 9 cars instead of perhaps 13th The chef for their mini-terriers may be reassigned. But there is no way in hell to go after forcing family incomes more than $ 000 during the Bush years, which has the working people and middle class to more than a cent sign to buy the fork into the next yacht they sollte. Wenn really use 0 billion they say they need, well, here is a simple way they could raise it: a) Every couple should be makeing more than a million dollars a year and every single taxpayer who makes more than 0,000 a year to pay 10% surcharge tax for five years. (It is Senator Sanders plan. He’s like Colonel Sanders, only he is to fry the right chickens.) This means that the rich would still have to pay less income tax than when Carter was president. That would raise a total of 0 billion Euro.b) Like almost every other democracy, they should have a 0.25% tax on every stock transaction. This would more than 0 billion a year raised haben.c) Because each shareholder a patriotic American, shareholders waived receipt of a dividend check for one quarter and instead this money would have the Treasury went to pay for the bullsh * Rettungsaktion.dt ) 25% of large U.S. companies now pay no income tax. Federal corporate tax revenues currently amount to 1.7% of GDP compared to 5% in 1950. If we increase the tax to the level in 1950, this would would have given us an extra 0 billion Euro.All combines this enough to have a catastrophic end. The rich would come to their homes and their employees and our government in the United States (“country first!”) To keep I would have a small remnant of some roads, bridges and schools need to repair … 3 You must save the people losing their homes to build, not the people, eighth at home! There are 1.3 million homes in foreclosure now. This is what is the core of this problem. So give instead the money to the banks as a gift, they must be paid by each of these mortgages have 0000th They should be forced banks to renegotiate mortgages new, so that the homeowner would pay on the current value. To ensure that this assistance is not trying to go to speculators and those who make money by turning houses should bailout is only for people who were primary residences. And in return for 0k to pay down existing mortgage, the State would come to share in the ownership of mortgages, so some could get their money back. Thus, the total acquisition cost for fixing the mortgage crisis at its roots (instead of with the greedy lenders), 0 bn 0 MRD.Und not let the record straight. People who have defaulted on their mortgages are not “bad risks.” They are our fellow Americans, and all she wanted was what we all want: a home to call their own. But had lost during the Bush years, millions of decent-paying job. SIX MILLION fell into poverty! Seven million lost their health insurance! And if, all saw their real wages fall by them, 000! Those who look made on this American DARE, which was a bad break after another should be ashamed.! We are a better, stronger, safer and happier society where all our citizens can afford, in a house in their possession leben.4. It should contain a provision stating that if your bank acquired company or any of our money in a “bailout” Then we will OWN you been. Sorry, that’s how it goes. If the bank gives me money so I can buy a house, the bank “owns” the house until I pay it all back – with interest. Same thing for Wall Street. Whatever money you need to stay afloat, if our government considers you a safe risk – and necessary for a good part of the country – so you can get a loan, but we should have you. If you default, we will sell you. This is how the Swedish government did it and it has funktioniert.5. ALL systems will be restored. Reagan revolution is dead! This catastrophe happened because we let the fox have the keys to the house. IN 1999. Phil Gramm one bill for all the regulations that governed Wall Street and wrote remove our banking system law was signed, and Clinton. Here is what Sen.Phil Gramm, McCain’s chief economic advisor, said Bill signing: “In 1930 … It was believed that the government was the answer it was believed that stability and growth came from government overriding. Functioning of free markets.” We are here today to repeal [that] because we have learned that government is the answer. We have learned that freedom and competition are the answers. We have learned that we promote economic growth and we promote stability by competition and freedom. “I am proud to be here because it is an important law, it is a deregulatory bill. I think the wave of the future and I’m terribly proud to be part of making it a reality. “prevent this from happening again, this is the promise BILL! Bill Clinton was helped by an expansion of efforts to repeal the Gramm bill and the restoration of even tougher regulations regarding our financial institutions. And when they were finished with this, the rules for airlines, the inspection of our food, oil industry, OSHA, and any other entity that affects our daily life is restored. Had all the prudential rules for “bailout” should have enforcement money to them and criminal penalties for all Täter.6. If it is too big to fail, it’s too big to exist! Taking into account the creation of these mega-mergers and not enforcing the monopoly and anti-trust laws, a number of financial institutions and companies are allowed, so great are the very means of their collapse thought an even bigger collapse across the economy . No one or two companies should never have this kind of power! The so-called “economic Pearl Harbor” can not happen if you have hundreds – thousands – of institutions where people of their money. If we have a dozen auto companies, if one goes belly up, we did not face a national disaster! When the three separately-owned daily newspapers in your town, so media companies can not be called all the shots (I know … What do I do? Who has a paper to read more? Sure glad all those mergers and acquisitions, leaving us with a strong and “free” press!). Laws should be adopted for companies large and dominant that with one slingshot to prevent eye, and if this is GIANT. And no institution should be the way to set up money schemes that no one understands. If you can not explain it in two sentences, you should not be under anyone’s money! 7th NOT MORE THAN EVER EXECUTIVE 40 times their average employee will be paid, and no executive power, any form of “parachute”, apart from very generous salary, he or she has made while working for the company to receive. In 1980 the average American CEO made 45 times what their workers. Until 2003 they made 254 times what their employees. After 8 years of Bush, now makes more than 400 times what their average worker. How we have allowed this to happen in listed companies is no reason. In the UK, making the average CEO 28 times what their average employee makes. In Japan there are only 17 times! The last I heard was the CEO of Toyota living the high life in Tokyo. How can he do with so little money? Seriously, it’s a scandal! We need to show we are of the people is inflated at the tip created without faith with millions of dollars. This has to stop! Not only should no executive who helps them get out of this mess, but any executive who has been for the leadership of his company into the ground shall, before the company receives no Hilfe.8 get fired. Congress would have the FDIC stepped up and made it a model not only to protect people’s savings, but also their pensions and their homes. Obama was right to propose expanding FDIC protection of people’s savings in their banks to 0.000. But the same kind of insurance for our government never about the money they put away for her age, it will be given care. Or maybe the company is already forced to return these funds and their management to the government – this should be a strict government oversight of companies that their employees are designed to handle money? People’s private retirement party must also be protected, but perhaps it is time to think, not an investment to retire in the casino known as the stock market? Our government should be a sacred duty to ensure that no one who grows old in this country, always devoid of hat.9 concerns. Everyone needs to calm down to take a deep breath, TO, and not let FEAR rule the day. Turn on your TV! We are not in another Great Depression. The sky is not falling, Chicken Little! Experts and politicians have lied to us so quickly, it’s hard FURIOUS not be affected by all the fear mongering. I also wrote and repeated what I heard on the news last week, the Dow fell the largest 1 day in their history had. Well, that was true with respect to the items, but its 7% drop came nowhere close to Black Monday in 1987 when the stock market on one day lost 23% of their value. In the ’80s, 3,000 banks closed, but America is not out of business. These institutions have always had their ups and downs and eventually it works. It must, because the rich do not like their wealth is not interrupted! They have an interest in running and calming things back in their hot tub before slipping into their million-count sheets, a peaceful, vodka and tonic and Ambien-induced Schlaf.So is crazy the way things are now, one of Thousands of people car loans last week. Thousands took to the bank and got a mortgage to buy a house. Students just back to college to find banks more than happy to put them into hock for the next 15 years with a student loan. I was even approved for a personal loan USK. Yes, life with little in the way-or-no-change (assessed differently than umeployment whopping 6.1%, but it happened last month). Not a single person lost all his / her money in the bank, or a separate note, or a CD. And it is perhaps the most surprising that the American public ultimately did not buy the scare campaign. Citizens do not blink, instead of saying Congress to take that bailout and push it. It was impressive. Why has not the population succumb to the terror-filled warnings from their president and his cronies? Well, one can only say: “Saddam was the bomb ‘so many times before the people you lie for realizing a sack of shit. After eight long years, the nation is worn out, and it simply can not. The world is fed and I give them no Schuld.10. You should have a national bank, “Peoples Bank”. CREATED have because they are really itching to get to a trillion dollars, instead of just a few rich people, why do not we bring them to us ? Now that we own Freddie and Fannie, why not a national bank established? One that low-interest loans to all types of people who want to own a home, start a small business, go to school, come up with cures for cancer or create can deliver the next great invention. And now that we own AIG – the country’s largest insurance company – we take the next step and provide health care insurance for all. Medicare for all! It saves us so much money in the long run (not to mention to bring peace for all). And America is not the life expectancy list of 12, we are able to have a longer life, enjoying our government protect pensions and to see them live, the day the company criminals which has caused so much misery to be released from prison, so we can help you acclimate them over plain old normal civilian life – a life with a nice house and a gas-free car with help from People’s Bank erfunden.PS Call your Senators NOW! —> www.visi.com/juan/congress/ Since they voted against the existence of an extension of unemployment benefits and jumped to “campaign” for us to re-election … Call them and tell them you will vote for the other “types” if they do not get their act together UPDATE: The bailout is a disaster and really evil enabler Pelosi Should GoWir hear more and more reports about how bad the bad advise banker bailout is handled, going multi-million-dollar bonus for old cronies Paulson at Goldman Sachs, billions to finance the takeover of rival banks, so the “too big to fail” even bigger, and taxpayers get an otherwise rotten deal for their investment.

Medicare Insurance Fraud Targets Seniors – Senior Medicare Scam Alert

Article by Brandon Todd

With all of the concerns about Medicare insurance, Medigap policies (Medicare supplement plans), and Medicare supplement rates, seniors have enough to worry about without having to worry about getting scammed. Unfortunately, fraud is out there, and it’s a topic we keep having to come back to. We’ve seen senior lottery scams, credit card scams, and more, but now there are even scams targeting seniors that involve Medicare insurance. One of the best ways to protect yourself is simply to be aware of the ways that thieves are trying to target seniors.

“Beware of a phone call from someone claiming to be a representative of Medicare. In reality they’re just trying to steal your identity. West Virginia Attorney General Darrell McGraw has raised the warning, saying he’s received reports from citizens of his state, and has learned that seniors in neighboring Kentucky have also been targeted.” (from Consumer Affairs)

This Medicare Insurance phone fraud is a variation on credit card frauds we’ve seen in the past, and you can be sure that if it’s taking place in West Virginia and Kentucky, it’s taking place in other states, too. These thieves use the guise of Medicare to get seniors’ personal information, which can lead to identity theft, financial theft, and more.

The folks over at Senior Corps have laid out the most basic way you can avoid this Medicare scam and any similar scam that’s going on:

“You can avoid Medicare fraud by not giving your personal information to people who may come to your home or call you on the telephone. You should only give your personal information to those who are approved by Medicare or doctors. If you are not sure if the provider is approved by Medicare or not, then there are toll free numbers that you may call to find out this information. If you lose your card, then you should call to report it. Hotlines are available for you to call to report Medicare fraud. Medicare fraud is a serious crime.”

The Federal Bureau of Investigation website says that seniors are less likely to “report a fraud because they don’t know who to report it to, are too ashamed at having been scammed or do not know they have been scammed” Therefore we have provided a list of helpful resources that seniors can use to help identify medicare scams and where to report them.

United States Senate has a Special Committee on Aging with a section devoted to Elder Fraud and AbuseU.S. Department of Health & Human Services Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services provide a throughough step-by-step process on How to Report a Medicare FraudNational Committee for the Prevention of Elder Abuse, MetLife, Virginia Tech and Mature Market Institute provide a study on Elder Financial Abuse for 2011The National Consumer Protection Resource Center Devoted an entire website to Senior Medicare Patrols, with links to a Fraud Prevention Summit, Stop Health Care Fraud video and more.Insuraprise Publications releases a monthly senior newsletter devoted to providing seniors timely news information regarding senior living, senior scam alerts, financial planning andmedicare supplemental plans.

Medicare insurance fraud is a serious crime, and it needs to be reported. If you’ve been a victim (or an attempted victim) of Medicare fraud, you need to alert the proper authorities. A number of seniors never report that they have fallen victim to fraud. It’s understandable why, but one way to ensure that it doesn’t happen to somebody else is to make it known that it has happened to you.

BTodd is a Medicare supplement professional dedicated to helping people on Medicare access quality healthcare. He is the president of Medicare Supplement 360 (http://www.medicaresupplement360.com/) which offers rate and Medigap plan comparisons of Medicare supplement insurance. His belief is that all seniors and those with disabilities should have complete access to our healthcare system without restriction and without insurance companies standing between them and their doctors.

How would you avoid falling prey to scam credit repair companies?

Article by Justin scott

With numerous credit repair companies mushrooming all over, it may be difficult for you to differentiate the scams from the legal ones. Your credit score might demand that you get them rectified immediately but that should not mean that you resort to illegal means. Promises made by scam companies may seem extremely tempting especially when you have a disastrous credit report. However, the tried and tested ways, though time consuming, is the best approach to repairing your credit.

What are the signs of a scam credit repair company?

Of course there are signs, but it is for you to understand. When you are in deep trouble with your debt and credit report, and you come across a company that makes promises that sound too good to be true, beware! With the condition you are in, you might easily fall prey to the false promises made by such companies and lose out on a lot of money without even being helped by them.

Here are few signs to watch out for a scam company. A credit repair company is a scam if:

1) It asks you to pay up for their services even before you have received any service. According to the Credit Repair Organization Act, you cannot be asked by any credit repair company to pay until they have successfully provided you their services as promised.

2) The company insists that you should not contact any of the credit reporting companies directly.

3) They advise that you should dispute all the debts on your report irrespective of whether they are valid or not.

4) They do not let you know what rights you have as a debtor and what you can do to help yourself for free.

5) They tell you that you can get rid of all or most of the negative information on your report even if the information is current and valid and hence repair credit.

6) They advise that you create a new credit identity, a new credit report by applying for a Federal Employer Identification Number (FEIN) and use it instead of your Social Security Number.

What would be the impact of following advice from a scam company?

If a credit repair company advises on how you can hide your true credit history is a violation of the Federal Credit Repair Organization Act. If you consciously follow illegal advice you could be charged and prosecuted for committing fraud.

What are the signs of a legitimate credit repair company?

Legitimate companies, first of all, do not make promises to repair credit that sound too good to be true. The next time you go company hunting keep this in mind. Here is how a legitimate company works.

1) They do not make false promises and will help remove only inaccurate information from your credit report.

2) Some companies might follow the State mandated ‘right of rescission’ periods where they allow a breather to you and do not charge you until the period gets over.

3) They offer comprehensive consulting on how you can become a better consumer and reduce your debts.

4) They are upfront about the fees that they charge and some companies may also provide an option to ‘cancel at any time’.

5) They have good relationships with creditors as well as the credit bureaus.

6) They will let you know that the process of credit repair can take from 3 -6 months and may even last 1 year.

7) They will tell you for free what are the things you, as a debtor, can do to help yourself in repairing your credit.

8) They will not be on the FTC watch list or even on their database of scam companies.

It is understandable how tempting it is to believe the false promises that the scam companies make, but it is also up to you to restrain yourself and act legally. It can be a little time consuming but, nevertheless, it is the best approach you can have in such a case. Wary consumers must realize that there can be serious implications if they commit fraud.

Reports Of Esources Co Uk Scam Fall Flat Yet Again

Article by Johnnathen7

News about essources.co.uk scams is not true and everyone associated with the largest trade directory in UK will know that such reports are manufactured and completely fake.

However, scammers are operating on many ecommerce platforms in large numbers and putting the online trading community at a grave risk. New retailers are not very careful in choosing wholesalers to source products for their ecommerce store and often end up losing huge sums of money to scammers. It is absolutely imperative to conduct a due-diligence check on your suppliers to establish their legitimacy.

Reputable trade directory services such as esources make sure that their verified wholesale list is clean and no middlemen or fraud elements can breach the list. They have regularly exposed the activities and modus operandi of scammers. The reports of esources.co.uk scams can be traced back to these very scammers who are now trying to get back at the portal.

It is important that you choose your trade suppliers from reliable sources to avoid falling victim to wholesale scams and dropship scams. Forums are a great way to know more about scams because they keep the online trading community updated about scammers and their latest acts. Retailers can use these reports to update their information on scammers. It is by now a well known fact among the online trading community that esources.co.uk scam talk is as fake as the scammers who spread them.

Wholesale middlemen and brokers must be avoided as far as possible because many times they act as a front for the scam parties. Even if they are genuine, they will add to your total cost causing a dip in your profits. A few even secretly work for a particular wholesaler and will recommend them to you even if they are not good enough.

Using reputable trade directory sites such as esources makes it easy to choose reliable suppliers. Their verified wholesale list is the best resource to fine genuine wholesalers, distributors, importers, exporters and manufacturers. This way you can be sure of avoiding scammers and other fraud elements trying to take advantage of your inexperience and ignorance about matters related to ecommerce trading.

The largest trade directory portal, esources, has been successful in limiting the activities of scammers and nipping their new schemes in the bud. Their activities are now known to the online trading community because of which alertness levels of traders are at an all time high. They also know that frivolous news being spread about esources.co.uk scam is fallacious.

Fake reports about esources.co.uk scam are making the rounds on the web. Fake suppliers are trying every trick in book to break the confidence online traders and retailers enjoy with esources. However, the trading community is well aware of the actual facts. Such news of esources.co.uk scams does not impact their views.










The Gold Scam, Part 2 of 4. Gold, For All But a Few A Commodity on Paper Only

Friday, August 12th, 2011

[Excerpts from:] What Is Happening to America’s Gold? This past December I wrote about my discovery of a discrepancy between two reports that tracked the status of the US Gold Reserve. I observed that the weight of gold in these two reports was different, and I explained why each weight should always be identical. In the months that have passed, the Treasury has continued to deny US government activity in gold. But that is not all the Treasury has been doing. It has also been working hard to cover up its tracks. The US Reserve Assets report now excludes all reference to the ESF, and previous reports already published have been changed. Not only were the figures adjusted, but all reference to the ESF has been eliminated. Without any explanation to anyone (including Congress to my knowledge), the US Treasury has taken steps that can be of no other purpose and have no other intent but to hide the truth. The ESF has been erased out of the US Reserve Assets report as if it never previously existed. As I write this, I shake my head in disbelief. This past April I wrote about the Treasury’s unexplained reclassification of that part of the US Gold Reserve in the Treasury depository at West Point as “Custodial Gold”. Using minutes of the Federal Open Market Committee of the Federal Reserve – actually, very revealing minutes referring to “gold swaps” that apparently were inadvertently not redacted before being made public – and by other corroborating evidence, I suggested that the

Traders International Scam: Nothing But Idle Gossip

Article by Jamessms

Today people are looking for financial freedom without having to compromise on their personal lives. They also don’t want to settle for second choice career options, which might not lead them to the future they truly deserve. That’s why online trading has gained prominence in recent times and programs like Traders International hold huge significance for masses who wish to learn the ropes of day trading. However reports about Traders International Scam unnecessarily dampen people’s spirits as they begin to get skeptical about a perfectly legitimate program, which has its huge advantages. Traders International was founded by Afshin Taghechian, a much renowned name in the world of day trading. While he had many lucrative opportunities from the corporate world knocking at his doorsteps, Afshin chose to help individuals with his expertise in day trading. What started as an exercise to help out friends soon turned into a fully developed training program, which has helped many students gain a foothold in the trading industry. It’s this personal belief of the founder backed by solid results, which show up detractors’ efforts to malign the program by initiating baseless talk about Traders International Scam.

It’s Traders International’s firm belief that students don’t need an in-depth understanding of the market to make gains through day trading. Those concerned also understand that the use of jargon and technical terms might only put students off rather than help them understand the basics of trading. That’s why their course focuses on simple, easy to understand methods that go a long way in helping students gain inside knowledge of the market. Reputed professionals bring their experience to the table and offer students valuable insight about trading. Sadly Traders International Scam tends to undermine these efforts of renowned professionals who train interested students.

It’s also important to note that students get all the freedom in the world during their training, which is conducted through live webinars. It ensures that students understand Traders International’s methods live in real time. Experiences like these make students aware of what actually goes on in the market and gives them the confidence to trade without any inhibitions and hesitation. However students are also taught efficient money management methods, which enable them to make the right moves when they start trading every day. Many who speak of Traders International Scam say the program tends to make students reckless, which is farthest from the truth.

Not for no reason this training program has won accolades from well known trading magazines in the business today. But Traders International’s greatest rewards are the students whose lives have dramatically changed after completing the course.

Traders International offers to put interested candidates in touch with these students so that they can learn firsthand about how these trading methods have helped them flourish financially. It should put their mind to rest if they have any queries about the program. Maybe the doubters who love to talk about Traders International Scam should do the same.

His tips on how to avoid pitfalls and using Traders International scam without getting into trouble are very valuable.

Why People Say Adam Meyer Is A Scam

Why People Say Adam Meyer Is A Scam

Article by Jamie Hanson

If Adam Meyer is the number one sports handicapper, why would anyone say he is a scam? Professional sports handicappers dedicate hours researching and analyzing games to succeed in sports betting. The truth is that unless you have the time to dedicate 50 plus hours per week evaluating game situations, statistics, trends, injuries, etc, you probably could benefit from a professional sports handicapping service. Those who win money from betting know that any long-term success in sports handicapping can only be achieved through hours of study and research.

The best comparison for this can be drawn from the stock market. We all want to pick and invest in the best performing stocks but we usually don’t have the time to spend estimating the financial health, prospects, earnings, etc of each company. Instead most of us rely upon the advice of financial experts to make our investment choices. Once again, since the vast majority of us are valuators’, we want to make the final decision but we are seeking the aid and assurance from a professional. Thus we hire a financial advisor or buy stock research reports to help us choose and invest in winning stocks.

Beware of scams on the web and trust only the most respected sports handicapping services, like Adam Meyer’s company Real Money Sports. Apart from NFL picks, there are sites that just offer odds. Most sites offer sports betting lines for all the major sports books for free. There are only a few sites that offer options where the players’ sports picks are guaranteed to generate profits. These sites thoroughly research picks from the handicappers. Some sites are also tracked by multiple third party sports monitors. However, there are others which offer the most reliable documented records right on their sites. Players are allowed to view the documented records. There are only a few sites that offer honest winning sports betting advice, and AdamWins.com is one of the few.

The sports handicapper’s record is a good way to determine if he is reliable. For instance an average bettor wins around 5 percent of his bets. Someone who does thorough research can hit that up to 30 percent, but a good handicapper would be able to call the NFL picks with at least 60 percent accuracy, if not higher. Another factor is his years of experience. Adam Meyer has been in the sports handicapping business for over twenty years.

If you want to implement a sports handicapping service in your sports betting, you need to learn how they are basing their predictions. Even if a straight up prediction is given to you, it won’t be helpful if you want to place an over-under bet or make a point spread bet. The most ideal sports handicapping services usually provide you with information on how they come to their predictions, which is very important. Combine that with a money managmenent system, and then you can make money betting on sports.

e*trade scam: Refusal to correct huge financial error

Tuesday, May 17th, 2011

READ THIS FOR DETAILS: Here is my story, complete with screen shots, of how e*trade deposited a large sum of money into my account when they were not supposed to, I IMMEDIATELY called it in with NO plans to do anything but rectify the situation, then THEY ADVISED ME THAT THIS COULDN’T BE A MISTAKE and that the money was mine to deal with and that no action would be taken without first contacting me. Then without telling me a thing and me ONLY acting on their advice, they took the 00 I had originally invested AND MADE ME PAY THEM 8.05 MORE!!! Again, I reported before touching it, had no plans to touch it, but after first calling in as an honest consumer, was advised that they had no fault, basically the customer service guy didn’t have a clue and where he should have confirmed my thoughts that I should not touch it, he actually did just the opposite. E*trade acknowledged their fault but refused to fix the situation when they found they were above the courts and my ability to press them. As if the objective reports you can find all over are not enough, I hope this will help turn you all away from e*trade and force them to accept responsibility, practice integrity and at least adopt a form of customer service. Look elsewhere, the other services are much better.

The Panic Away web site contains testimonials from people who have all utilized the program to overcome their anxiety and anxiety attacks. Several individuals might see the Panic Away program as just an additional money-making scam that wont genuinely function, or think that it is going to have small effect. A good deal of individuals are wary of anything they locate on the web that claims such a high success rate; even so, the program which was developed by Barry McDonagh, a fellow sufferer of anxiety and anxiety attacks, has featured on Tv across America. It has had acclaim from top medical professionals that specialise within the field of psychology due to the quite basic approach it takes in tackling the difficulty.

The program isn’t hypnosis, which in itself can leave people feeling very uncomfortable about allowing themselves to be controlled subconsciously.

When a person experiences anxiety and panic attacks, they are left having a constricting fear of having further attacks that will inevitably result in further attacks, creating a cycle which is tough to escape. This fear will extremely frequently have a debilitating effect on a person and their life.

The Panic Away program was developed by way of 10 years of investigation by a person who suffered panic attacks and is very basic to follow. It doesnt require you to follow time consuming step by step plans and does away with outdated strategies such as deep breathing. It strives to attack the root problem of panic attacks, which is what has allowed so numerous individuals to cut out panic attacks for life and remove the shackles that had been holding them back from doing the everyday things that the vast majority of other individuals take for granted. Issues like driving on the freeway, giving public speeches, or even just leaving the home.

The Panic Away web site has the largest on the internet collection of photo and audio testimonials anywhere and while you will find other treatments offered, it doesnt claim to be the only program offered that works, the truth is, fairly the opposite. But it does claim to be the only program that provides to tackle the root cause of panic attacks and anxiety.

Skimming Scam in New Zealand. Information Security Awareness Training May Reduce Cases of Crime  

Article by Peter Martin





Recently, counter crime agencies in New Zealand detected Skimming fraud in several cities of Northland province of the country. Usually, offenders insert skimming device at ATMs and swipe machines at Point of Sale (POS). In this case, the offender impersonated as a courier driver and delivered package to several individuals. However, instead of collecting cash, the courier driver requested card payment from the parcel recipients. When unwary customers shared their card with the offender for payment, the latter swiped the card on a fake swipe machine. The machine was actually a skimming device. Skimming device is used by offenders to capture confidential information contained in the magnetic strip of the plastic card. The stolen information can be used to make unauthorized transactions on victim’s card. In this case, some of the merchant’s reported unauthorized withdrawal of money from their accounts. Crime has become an organized activity. Investigative personnel also find it difficult to detect sophisticated fraud techniques. Counter crime agencies can acquaint their staff on the various fraudulent techniques adopted by criminals through online video training programs.

Legitimate bank customers are also targeted through phishing e-mails, which redirect user to a fake website, which looks striking similarly to the login page of a legitimate banking site. When unwary customers enter the account details, their information is compromised. Information security awareness training workshops by card issuers, banking and financial institutions could create awareness among customers on the various types of risk involved and security guidelines to be adhered by them.Thousands of people across the world are affected by crimes such as phishing, identity theft, unauthorized access to online accounts, skimming and fraudulent accounts. Lack of awareness on complaint procedures or tendency to avoid legal hassles prevents legitimate bank customers from filing complaints. Wary police officials also avoid registering of fraud cases related to cybercrime and credit card fraud. Police officials can be acquainted on computer and other forms of banking fraud by including computer security introduction and bank fraud case studies during training sessions and workshops.

Cardata lisa scam call

Sunday, November 7th, 2010

my MK5 GT TDI has been for sale for the past week.. I had a call yesterday from this girl Lisa from Car Data. They wanted me to pay £99 as they ‘had lined up buyers in my area’ for my car and would aim to sell it in 7 days!! At this point I was a bit wary and told the girl I would have a think about it and for her to call me back today. I did this to give me time to google their name and see. Try it for yourselves and you will see its nothing but a scam and also reports of people who unfortunately gave them money and they even took more money than they advertised they would!! Its a discrace. So, today I prepared for her call. I located a number of articles online and printed them out to have as reference for her phone call. I also recorded my phone call which I am hoping to put online on youtube for you all to listen to. One such article I used was from the Daily Mirror, they had heard about car data scams so bought a Lada for 50 quid, a complete banger of a thing. They put it on auto trader for £3000. Of course no-one phoned apart from cardata who subsequently told them they had buyers lined up for it!!! I am discusted that companies can get away with this. I intend to report this to watchdog and also fair trading. About 15 mins ago I had the call back from Lisa. I seemed all interested and proceded to question the information she had about my car. All she knew was that it was a Golf. No info at all on my extras, leather, cd changer etc. I then asked her who the people

What agency should I talk to if I want to report a scam involving buying used cars online?

Saturday, October 23rd, 2010

Question by tyzekiel: What agency should I talk to if I want to report a scam involving buying used cars online?
I had a car for sale on an online site and I got an email offering to buy my car for the advertised price. This guy wants to send me a check for $ 10,000 for a $ 4,000 car. And then wants me to send him a check back for the balance, ok, obviously a scam. My question is who do I report this to? I already filed a complaint/observation with the FBI, but they are taking their sweet time to get back to me. I haven’t actually been scammed yet, but if an agency wanted to work with me we could probably catch this guy. Thanks for any help.

Shaklee Scam Report – Can Shaklee Business Opportunity Live Up To The Hype?

Shaklee Scam Report – Can Shaklee Business Opportunity Live Up To The Hype?

Update on Shaklee Scam: Shaklee’s MLM opportunity has been scrutinized as well as applauded.

This independent third party review provides you with the information you need to decide if the Shaklee scam is real or just fiction.

The Shaklee Corporation was founded in 1956 by Dr. Forrest Shaklee and his two sons. The company also maintains operations in Japan, China, Mexico, Canada, Taiwan and Malaysia.

Shaklee’s company mission is declared in it’s slogan: “We Provide A Healthier Life For Everyone And A Better Life For Anyone”

Shaklee’s Accomplishments And Company Mission Include:

– Performing over 80,000 product purity and product safety tests each and every year to ensure quality

– Distributing environmentally sound household products, beauty products, weight management products and natural nutritional supplements that deliver unparalleled health benefits

– Investing over 0 million into product research, clinical testing, and cutting edge development

– Providing support to 54 Olympic Gold Medalists and counting

– Planning to become the first company of its kind to be 100% “Climate Neutral” (Totally offsetting carbon emissions by 100%)

With all of the supporting evidence above, Shaklee is certainly not a scam but rather a legitimate company built on quality and integrity. Shaklee moves products through a multilevel marketing model and offers a “work from home” opportunity to help people create wealth with their own business.

Shaklee’s marketing plan and training program, however, are focused mainly on outdated strategies and methods such as recruiting friends and family, attending hotel meetings, and promoting home parties which can take up a considerable amout of time and set up the average Shaklee distributor for failure.

With online marketing playing such a huge role in today’s network marketing industry, it makes total sense for any serious network marketer to invest time and effort into mastering the most cutting edge strategies to create lifelong wealth and freedom.

Outdated strategies like promoting home parties, hotel meetings and recruiting family and friends are quickly dying on the vine. There are millions upon millions of people seeking income opportunities on the internet and the numbers continue to grow.

However, the sad truth is over 90% of people in network marketing fail due to outdated training methods, concepts, and strategies.

So how do you get into the top 5% and create lifelong financial independence online?

In order for you to set yourself up for the highest levels of success in MLM business, you will absolutely need to get in touch with a proven internet marketing and lead generation coach who can provide you with the most current and cutting edge training and tools available to minimize the learning curve and miximize your success.

Quality Jusuru Review That Puts The Jusuru Scam Reports To Rest

Quality Jusuru Review That Puts The Jusuru Scam Reports To Rest

Jusuru is creating a bit of a buzz from within the MLM industry. Some folks have been asking questions and want to know if there is a Jusuru scam.

While its product line offers health vitality, I must state up front in my Jusuru review that this area has me concerned. The network marketing industry already has a ton of juice product lines.

The Life Blend juice, with its liquid nutraceutical that promotes healthier joints, healthy aging and younger looking skin, sounds familiar when compared to many of the other network marketing opps out there. Although the product is solid, you really need to figure out how you’re going to separate yourself from all the other marketers out there.

Now we get to the main reason for this review…how to make money with the Jusuru compensation plan.

If your plan to market is to focus on why your product is better than the next one, you may actually be getting quite a bit of Jusuru scam cries sent your way.

You see, in my eyes, there’s no scam here. The real challenge is when Jusuru representatives (all MLM’ers, really) are taught that they need to build a warm market list and try to get Aunt Martha to the next meeting.

Sure, once in a great while, a person with a warm market that trusts him/her will bring 15 people to the hotel meeting and 12 decide to join right there. Do your friends, co-workers or family members respect you that much? Are there a ton of folks in your life who trust your business savvy?

This is exactly why you must have a marketing strategy that helps you bring in real, qualified prospects each and every day into your sales funnel. It’s just a fact that you’re going to have a hard time building your business if you don’t have many new prospects each day.

Your best bet isn’t using the 3-foot rule, either. It’s to harness the power of the Internet to attract those people who already know they like the concept of network marketing but simply want to find the right person to help guide them.

Take the time to use the Internet in branding YOU and watch how much you enjoy fielding calls and emails from people who are asking you how to join your Jusuru business. How much better could it be than building a network marketing business without needing to convince Uncle Biff to come to a hotel meeting next Tuesday?

Matt Zavadil is a knowledgeable teacher on how to make use of proper Internet marketing techniques and strategies that can help you in your Jusuru business. Gain knowledge of exactly how to attract many leads without cold calling, buying expensive leads or chasing your friends by clicking this link: Jusuru Success Secrets.

Budget, you blew it
scam reports
Image by sidehike
When I started to collect all of my junk mail to try to measure the extent of the "snail mail spamming" going on (read more here) I figured I’d mostly just be reporting on aggregate data focusing on the volume of mail received, but the other day I received one small piece of mail from a company that had a bigger negative impact on my opinion of them than the accumulated piles of offers I get from high-volume junkmailers like CapitalOne. I thought it merited its own post.

Last year I spent a little more than 0 with Budget Rent-A-Car. This year I plan on traveling even more, and likely spending proportionally more on car rental this time around.

Budget/Avis, you’ve just lost every dollar of my business.

Recently I received a "check" from Budget that looks remarkably like a rebate. A little slip of paper in the envelope has the highlighted headline "RE: MONEY BACK ON YOUR CREDIT CARD PURCHASES" that leads into a paragraph thanking me for past patronage, knowing that I have "a choice of car rental companies."

You’re right, Budget. Now, thanks to this cheap, misleading marketing piece you sent me I’m going to choose some other car rental company anytime I have a choice.

You see, this wasn’t really a "rebate" or a "check" at all. Looking at the very fine print in the endorsement section of this check I discover that this is really an "enrollment form" that would immediately be processed if I chose to deposit it into my bank account. It would sign me up for an auto-renewing 0 per year service called "AutoVantage" and the service fees will be "conveniently" charged to the credit card I last used to rent from Budget.

These sort of check offers aren’t new. Less-than-reputable phone companies used to send these things to trick people into giving permission to switch providers, and then would hit them with outrageous fees and shoddy service. The church I grew up in has been hit by these telco scams twice in the last 5 years. Do a google search on "slamming" and you’ll read all sorts of horrible stories about how people have been ripped off by companies like these.

You know, I expect to occasionally see that sort of behavior from a shady little fly-by night company. But not from a 50-year-old corporation traded on the NYSE. (Coincidentally, the top eight news stories currently on this company’s Google Finance page are all about a couple of their execs being convicted of accounting fraud. Suddenly I’m not so shocked.)

Next step: Writing a letter to Budget/Avis letting them know how much business this "offer" just cost them.
