FIB - Scams 101

There is no listing on Project Payday on the Better Business Bureau. I even did some extensive research on Project Payday and people who say it is a scam, either have not tried the program or are too lazy to do it. You should treat this as a job like any other job. Some people do this for a couple of hours and some do this full time. The people who put some work into it make more $$ money $$ than people busting their butts on 9-5 jobs. This is not real estate or cold calling or meeting people face to face. This is an incentive program, where you make big profits. The job is monotonous but it is worth it. Most of it is completing offers to try products and canceling the trial period before it expires and before they charge your credit card. Let me give you an example. Let's say the company Stamps.com offers you $20 just for registering and trying out their product. Now your job is to register for it and you are also required to put your credit card number. After you complete the form, read the terms and conditions on when it will expire. Now go to a word document on your computer and type in Stamps.com , the phone number to customer service and the expiration date so you will remember that you signed up for the offer. If you cancel before the expiration date, your credit card will not be charged. You must look in your earnings first that you were credited $20 for stamps.com and then cancel the trial period. Now how easy was that??!!!
Wanna make more money? Another example. The dating service called True.com offers you $20.00 for signing up for their free trial. After you register, go to word document, type in True.com, the customer service phone number and expiration date. Check back often when True.com credits you $20.00 and then cancel.
Now, this is where you make the big money. Project Payday gives you the urls of secret incentive forums where other people pay YOU to be their referral and vice versa. Listed next to other people's id's will have their ratings so you know who you are doing business with. So let's say someone is looking for referrals for "Seattle Coffee Direct" which they get paid for $15.60 for signing up for the free trial. So this person offers to pay other people $5 each to be their referrals for signing up for "Seattle Coffee Direct", making them a profit of $10.60 each. So if they refer $5 people in the forum, they will get a profit of $53. Now you can do the same thing and start asking for referrals but you have to build your ratings first.As you see this is child's play. You don't have to pay the whole $34+ for signing up for Project Payday. You can have instant access to it just for signing up for one of their offers.
My spouse and I plan on doing it sometime later today because we both think it's legit.
>> Is this any good? I refused their offer cause after 1 free month of
>> stuff it's $39.95 a month. They wrote me agian! Sounds fishy to me.

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...
