I just ran across this sales pitch on Facebook with this photo.......
(http://www.paulgetspaid.com/images/me-and-my-ferrari.jpg)
and it contained the following caption underneath.
"I'm the guy you see driving down the street in a bright red Ferrari with the top down, and you stop and think to yourself, "What a fool!" And you know what? You're probably right. But so what? Do you really think I value your opinion? I'm rich, I honestly could NOT care less."
First of all, that car he's standing beside is not a convertible. More than likely he just saw it and got somebody to take a picture of him beside it. Secondly, he's talking so much obnoxious nonsense in the ad but chalks it all up to just being all about business.
Once again, here's someone telling me how rich I can get with just sending him $1.97 for shipping while the actual info is free. Of course I'm sure that the real money-making info runs into the hundreds or even thousands of dollars.
Now why is it that some people want to keep playing with people minds and make success about that stuff you can buy(and apparently he hasn't bought anything because he doesn't know his cars) instead of making it about longevity for not only you but generations to come. To tell the truth most of those houses and cars in those infomercials are borrowed and rented and I wish that people would wise up..
Sure, I want to be wealthy, but I want to leave something for my son and possibly grandkids that they can build on for generations to come. If I one day own that Lamborghini, you can best beleive I'm gonna have the savings to make that car only a miniscule portion of my assests.
I guess more than anything this is simply a rant. I'm just getting fed up by people fronting on me just so I can buy something from them and they're the only one getting rich. And it's not from the product they offer, it's from all of us sending in money to them.

Yea. This stuff should be illegal.

Really? :D
Thats probably his caravan in the background.

lol, if that... he looks like your average unemployed young guy who wants to get rich without working.

That's part of his sales pitch as well. Make thousands of dollars doing next to nothing. Even billionaires have to stop by the office every so often if not every day.

I thought that was Manu Ginobli. ?/? :D

A couple of those cats have went to prison for that mess. This dude that swidled me and many others in an "envelope stuffing" scam back in 1998 wound up getting federal time due to mail fruad for his mess. His sales pitch said to send in $40 to get started. For my $40 I received a stack of fliers to post around town tryng to convince other folks to send him more money to get started. That's where the envelope stuffing came in. His original letter said that his company had so much work that they needed help filling customer orders or something like that and they would pay me $2-$3 an envelope for helping them and I could take on as much workd as I wanted and they would send me as many "supplies" as I needed free of charge. It came from Decatur, GA so I thought a friend had hooked me up with this opportunity even though all of my Decatur friends knew nothing of it when I asked them about it.
After this guy was convicted, he was also forced to pay restitution so fortunately I got my $40 back. Since then I don't trust sales pitches of any kind.

Ok, I just figured out what they're doing through another ad for the exact same thing. But this time it's another guy who is married and got laid off, and the testimonials are from people who got laid off as well.
When you go to these websites and read stories where people are posting comments and some of them post links for sites that have nothing to do at all with the topic at hand, that's these folks. They're trying to align themselves with Google but I don't think that connection is legit either because I doubt that Google is that grimey. If Google needs to advertise something they own, they can simply put it out there as they own so much. They're basically using folks to post spam all over the place. They've probably even been on here. As much as I could use some big money right about now, I wouldn't stoop this low.
Alright, I'm walking away from this.

Bro, where there is a hustle people will take advantage of it.
Frankly i have never ever trusted all that stuff. You see them on late night infomercials and they sucker people and tell them that they can work from home and do next to nothing.
:: please.

$3 to fold 1 peice of paper and put in in an envelope should have been a red flag. It would be cheaper for him to buy a machine to do that rather than paying a bunch of people to do it.
