Prosperity Automated System in Trouble

Thursday, September 28, 2006
The LA Times reported today that the Prosperity Automated System (PAS) is being targeted by the Securitys & Exchange Commission (SEC). Their goal is to shut them down. Honestly, I'm not familiar with their products or compensation plan, but having the SEC go after you is bad news from any perspective. If you're involved in any similar programs, you might want to pay attention to this case.

Postcard from Family Member

Thursday, September 28, 2006

This one would only come from a family member that really despises you:

"You have just received a virtual postcard from a family member!
You can pick up your postcard at the following web address:

http://www2.postcards.org/?a91-valets-cloud-31337"

This one would probably ruin your day. [Read More!]

PayPal Report - Avoid AUP Violations

Thursday, September 14, 2006
Mike Filsaime of Butterfly Marketing fame has put out a lot of information in the past much of which costs quite a bit. However, he just released this report for FREE and I 100% recommend it. Download it at this link: http://the-pay-pal-report.com/ThePayPalReport.zip.

PayPal is an excellent service to use, but you have have heard some negative reports on them freezing accounts and such. This report will set you straight on what can cause this.

$100,000.00 in 4 Months? Not Likely!

Wednesday, September 13, 2006
Some say MoreThanTraffic.com is a scam, others say it's legitimate. This site guarantees that they'll send you enough targeted traffic so that you'll make $100,000.00 in 4 months. If you do, you pay them 15% or $15,000.00. If not, you pay nothing. It sounds like a WIN-WIN proposition.

Opportunity Meeting Place - Findings

Wednesday, September 13, 2006
On the inside, Opportunity Meeting Place contains the typical Profile pages, a Blog, Classified posting area, Groups, a Forum, and direct links to a HotConference private room. The only updateable areas are the profile, ability to add banners (although I can't see where they'd be displayed yet), you can create and join groups, and post classifieds. The Group categories are rather limited: MLM Opportunities, Investment Opportunities, Day Trading Opportunities, and Franchise Opportunities. Where does Quikonnex and DeskView fit into that mix???? There's definitely a lot of work that needs to be done. I can't dis them for linking to HotConference -- that's all they have available :-) the poor guys :-( There's still the promise that this will be a good networking location, but they've got a lot to do to catch up with Ryze and LinkedIn.
