Another Get Rich Quick Scheme

I just received this email. I'm sure a million people received the same spam. I sure hope a million people recognize it as spam and steer clear. I HATE these types of things. Here's a snippet of the "offer" that's supposed to turn my life around. I guess that's how direct marketing and MLM's both work. Still, this really annoys me. "Ashley, I want to be sure that you understand everything about us and have an opportunity to ask any questions you might have. The business model that we are

talking about may be the best out there on the Internet but do not
misunderstand, we are not offering you a handout. We are not offering you
something for nothing. Above all, we are not going to do your business for you
but we will support you through your business to create the Business Success
that you and I and everyone else is seeking Online.

The core of this Business model is a Training Program that has a one-time cost.
(There is a monthly cost after this but this cost and EVERY OTHER COSTS COMES
OUT OF PROFIT!) When you were in school, did you ever take a final exam for a
class on the first day of that class? Sounds ridiculous, doesn’t it? Well,
Elaine, this is no different than what occurs on the Internet Every Single Day.
Prospects join businesses one day and the next day they are given a Final Exam.
I have known people that joined businesses then disappear from their sponsors."

Never in this entire email does the sender state what this marvelous opportunity is. It's all so nebulous. So much crap.

Oh well. It's just another day on the Internet. Another slap of the delete button.

Here goes...

Reviews

I'm really tired tonight so this won't be long. I just have a couple personal reviews. The hubby took me to see "Hancock" and I was not at all impressed. In fact, I was confused and barring a couple LOL moments, I was bored. I couldn't wait for the movie to end. Usually I love Will Smith, but he didn't save the movie sorry to say. I've not read Pink Truth in quite awhile but checked in today. It's specifically about Mary Kay but this article "More Good Press For Pink Truth" speaks about MLM's in general if you're interested. I admit it. I'm bitter about my experience in Mary Kay. The worst part is that I lost friends and I feel funny going to church where I tried to sell it. My hubby was so angry at me about spending so much money on inventory that we barely spoke for over a year. My kids were upset about it. Okay, I won't go any deeper into it except to say I'm highly embarrassed I was ever associated with it. Read for yourself what others have gone through, similar to and worse than I found: Pink Truth
