      never have, i thought about doing the vending machine thing (not through some shady ass person) but it seemed like it was more work than it was worth.

                NSA -- National Safety Associates.

                My dad and I were both "Direct Marketers" because we bought a shitload of water and air filters from these freaks. Then, we had shitload of water and air filters from these freaks that no one wanted.

                Well, we had clean water for about 5 years after that.

                  i ask too many questions to get scammed on dumb shit. learned early on by talking to a rich florida vacationer not to fall for those get rich quick scams.

                  i was looking to get into 900 numbers back in the early 90s. way too expensive for a teen on a limited summer income.

                      The send $1 to 6 people worked for me. I just read the instructions, and instead of sending money to the 6 people on the list, I posted the scam with 6 addresses a couple times on a few newsgroups, 3 of them being my own, and I made $6 off it from 2 people. Cold hard cash.

                          The sad part is that many on GFY make less than that.

                            What! These are scams

                            LOL, Don Lapre has a new one out too.... "The Greatest Vitamin in the world". Seriously, that's the name of the actual product!

                            I can't believe that people actually fall for some of these!

                                      Well its all about how its sold, a 900 800 number or site shouldnt cost you money

                                      The site is a FPA and the person who sells it gets 50%

                                      800/900 are mostly extensions

                                      Yeah you can make money in 800/900 and adult sites and you can make money in real estate too but my point is the way they sell it is a scam.

                                              I used to be interested in Napoleon Hill's stuff for a while. His books are great when it comes to adopting the right attitude to be successful, but it's all theoretical. If you don't have the ideas and the means to take them to fruition, your life won't change at all. So I guess I got scammed for $100 worth of books.

                                                      There was a special on 60 Minutes about the Canadian Lottery Scam. People were losing hundreds of thousands from that.

We'll see how it goes! It was a group of mormons having one of those "marketing on the internet" seminar things...before I knew any better.

                                                                      My first business was started after buying Don Lapre's money making kit. Although I didn't make any money from it, I learned a lot, and hopefully I'll be a millionaire entrepreneur one day as well.

                                                                          The catch was that those flyer's promoted the same "business opportunity" I fell for, and I'd only get paid if those people fell for it as I did.
