Today's Adventure in the Biz Opp Jungle...
'In which Charlie gets MAD and rants at all the scoundrels who
bombard him with dodgy emails... and exposes a "work from
home" opportunity that stinks of fish.'
Hi,
Usually in these emails, I like to talk with you one-to- one, as if nobody else is here.
You know... stuff I've been up to recently...what I really think about the latest biz opps... what you've been asking me to review... what I ate for breakfast.
Okay, so that's cool. And I hope we're both trying to get through the jungle together with a smile and hopefully some mutual success.
So I hope you understand that in the following message I'm not talking to YOU directly....
This goes out to any scamstering, spamstering, dodgy email, puke-faced scum-off-the-soles-of-my-shoes TOSSPOT who happens to be reading.

Why don't you just SOD OFF?
****************************
No, I am not interested in your offer of 100mg x 10 pills of Viagra for $69.95... no I don't want to see your directory... and no I don't want to "exchange monies".
It's fine by me that you're bucking the system and trying to make money for yourself.
But DON'T harass, depress and annoy billions of people on a daily basis with emails containing 100% BULL in order to skim your dirty profits.
Instead, here's an idea, Mr Spammeister...
Why not go to http://www.bizoppungle.com, have a browse and try a REAL home business? Or would a couple of hours and a bit of imagination seem too much like hard work?
Probably.
And besides, you're probably some whiny little computer geek working for peanuts for an international gangster who wears a fedora and calls you "Scrote- Face".
Worst of all at the moment are those emails that say "You're friend has sent you an e-card", with some dodgy link made up entirely of numbers.
Dunno about you, but I've been getting about 10 of these a day. So here's my e-card back to them:
"F-OFF."
No, it's not cute or funny, but it's concise.
And for keen, ambitious biz oppers like me and you, this next one is even WORSE....

A 'work at home' scam you need to watch for
******************************************
While it's alluring to feel we can get paid to give up the rat-race and sit at home, working in our own time... a lot of these opportunities are a load of hot air.
For instance, if you've had an email from "Mr George Owen Mark" who "owns a company Based on Chinese and African textile and fabric material in UK"... then bash that DELETE button with a clenched fist.
He claims he's from 'DL Arts Company Ltd'. And says:
"I urgently need a representative in your country to work online from home and get paid weekly without leaving or affecting your present job.
"My Company produces various clothing materials, batiks, assorted fabrics and traditional costumes. We have clients we supply weekly in your country and my clients make payments for our supplies every week in form of online transfer which will take 45 days to be credited here."
In short, he says he will pay you to process payments in the UK for a 10% cut.
No, he doesn't ask for money up front, but you can be sure that once he's got a fish at the end of his line, he'll be pulling out the catch.
The idea is that you give him your name, address, telephone number and age.
I assume that he'll then prey on a certain profile of person who is most likely to fall for the trick. You can expect big promises, doggy phone calls and a lot more emails.
By the way, you might find this interesting...
As I was researching this scandal, I found a useful web-page that lists a lot of the dodgy emailers and their aliases...

Some advice on 'work from home offers'
***************************
There are a lot of "work from home" opportunities, but most of them I've seen are dodgy.
The really seriously stinky ones to watch for are:
*** Stuffing envelopes. You pay a registration fee in return for advice on how lure other people into the same fake opportunity.
*** Home working directories. They promise you a variety of home work opportunities for a fee of up to £25. But you only get a directory of other companies who have their own registration fees.
*** Home assembly kits. You get a kit for making stuff like from baby boots and toys. They say they'll pay you for your goods but will either reject it because of poor quality (not your fault, as the kits are rubbish) or they'll tell you to sell the goods yourself. You won't be able to do this, because there will be no market for it.
Avoid these opportunities at all costs... no matter how easy and profitable they seem.
Always check that there's an unconditional money back guarantee, contact details, and some kind of registered business begind it.
************************************
Now try some GENIUNE companies
************************************
Even better, think about creating your own independent home business. Test run a 'how to' manual off a reputable company who will give your money back if you don't like what they send you.
Start something that's YOURS... and don't fall prey to the false promises of those emailers from hell.
