FIB - Scams 101
Red Light in Internet Marketing

Hey guys, today will be my first post here. I’ll talk about the Red Light that often occurs in marketing. On a clear sunday morning when I was going to the church guys, I was late. Not because I woke up late or anything but it rains. Okay, I woke up late too. Then I rushed all the way to my vehicle and I stepped in the gas just blasting away to the church.
On the road I was stopped by many traffic lights. And the last one really gets me off my seat. I was driving at about 80 Km/Hour and I saw the green light about a couple hundreds meters away, it turns red in a half second (lol), it’s orange, it’s telling me to slow down and stop and wait for my next chance. Guess what? Yup, I did it. I stepped in the gas even more hoping that I could get away with it. It’s RED!!! It needs me to stop, but I’m only a couple more meters away. The police was stopping on the left side. He saw me going fast. The vehicles from the other side was moving, I can’t stop, I can’t get away with the RED light. I stepped on the brake. (Tires Screeching……..) BOOOMMMMM!!! I crashed with other vehicles.
See guys? That’s what happens in the world of marketing. We’re too rushing it. We need to stop when the time to stop came. We move when they gave us the green light. You guys get a lead, you’re too excited because you never get a lead before. You keep contacting him. You email him, you call him, you even text him. He’s getting scared, you’re moving too fast towards him, he told you to stop, but you don’t get the message. In the end?? What happened?? You crashed!! You lost your leads which means your money. And you lost your rep.
Moment is the key in closing sales. There will be a perfect moment in your business. Find it. Avoid RED LIGHT.

| 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. Although we may, from time to time, monitor or review discussions, postings and the like on the Friends In Business (Scams 101) Message Board, we are under no obligation to do so.

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!!). |
