FIB - Scams 101
WOW, I haven't seen an attack like that...
Posted By: MaaMaw In Response To: Looks Like Someone is At It AGAIN! (Christopher S. Zak, Sr.)

since someone put up a website a few years ago solely for the purpose of publishing his Lesley Fountain Soap Opera (seriously) (daily episodes!).
It's also full of the most idiotic and just plain STUPID accusations I've seen in a very long time.
For example:
>>> they stole their name from an already
>>> established company called
>>> friendsinbusiness.orgStrangely, about friendsinbusiness.org, WHOIS says:
Created On:14-Jan-2004
and about friendsinbusiness.com, WHOIS says:
Creation Date: 08-Mar-1998
Well SHAME ON ME!!! (And also pretty brilliant, if I do say so myself, to *steal* a name a full six years before it was invented!)
I was going to post a reply, then I realized how completely ridiculous that would be.
Then I thought I might contact the owner of the board and decided that, too, would be ridiculous. In fact, anything I say is likely to end up hopelessly twisted and posted for all the world to see.
Like our wonderful adoption lawyer told me when he was accused on national radio of being a black-market baby broker: "Sometimes it's better not to say anything."
And remember...
ALL publicity is good publicity :-)
If "his" predictions are accurate --
"him" being the Hysterical Freak of Nature (you can spot him by all the red in his message) who completely freaked out and accused me/us of such things as sending "data mining attachments in my emails every single day" (like I'd know how to do that????)...
and continuing to "try and hack my pc on an on going business" (you didn't know I was a technowizard, did you???)...
and "they make their own posts, and their sole purpose is to try and HACK PEOPLES computers and take them over to send spam" (hey, I'm not interested in taking over people's *computers*... I want to take over the WORLD!!!)...
Now what was I saying?
Oh yes...
Apparently this freak of nature has "so much dirt on these guys they're all looking at serious federal time." (Does that include Bill Carton, aka Roadie? I would say yes, since he mentioned him by name. That's great! At least I'll have company.)
Anyhoo, what I was going to ask is if y'all could start taking up a collection now because I'm going to need a regular supply of chocolate...
Luv,
MaaMaw
Here I go again -- peddling this Corey Rudl course

FIB - Scams 101 is maintained by Lesley Fountain with WebBBS 5.12.
| 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.

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!!). |
