To Good To Be True

Sun, 30 Aug 2009 21:31:31 +0000

This one strikes close to home. My brother-in-law is now serving time in a Florida prison because he believed someone that told him he could make extraordinary profits on his investment with them. They're called trades, rolls, bank debentures and other names that are designed to lure you into their scams. My sister, Becky, is now telling her and her husband's story. Take heed! Here's my sister's story http://federaltime.blogspot.com/ [COMMENT]

Long Hiatus - Time to Reconnect

Sun, 04 Jan 2009 18:52:41 +0000

Wow! It's been over two years since I last posted to GrayScales and that's about to change.

First of all, Happy 2009! Second, I'd like to invite any Quikonnnex member or anyone else that subscribes to my RSS feed to join me Tuesday night (1/6/2008) at 8PM EST in a Yahoo voice chat room. I know... it's been a real long time since I've used Yahoo for a Quikonnex meeting, but I've chosen this medium for very specific reasons. If you've not updated or installed the latest version of Yahoo, there's plenty of time to do it.

Add me to your Yahoo friends list, my Yahoo ID is 'n2links'. I'll be online about 15 minutes before the meeting on Tuesday to accept any of you who've not already got me in your lists. Send me a QMTP to my Qname of 'Jim' to let me know if you plan to attend. I'll look for you and add you to the conference.

Let's get reconnected. I'll update you on where and what I've been doing, where Quikonnex is going, and hope to hear from you about where you plan to take your online activities in 2009. [COMMENT]

Wireless Computing Exploit - Broadcom Driver

Wed, 15 Nov 2006 10:14:18 +0000

Are you connecting to the Internet via a wireless connection? If so you need to pay special attention to this alert. Apparently there is a hack out for computers using Broadcom Drivers: HP, Compaq, some Dells and others that will allow a hacker using this exploit to gain FULL control over your computer. If your wireless driver is not update to Version 4.100.15.5 or better, then you're vulnerable. Go to this ZDNet link now to check out your system: Critical Broadcom Windows driver exploit released!. My wife's Compaq needed this update. Do you? [COMMENT]

Prosperity Automated System in Trouble

Thu, 28 Sep 2006 16:05:18 +0000

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.

Thu, 28 Sep 2006 08:47:19 +0000

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:

This one would probably ruin your day.[READ MORE] [COMMENT]

PayPal Report - Avoid AUP Violations

Thu, 14 Sep 2006 10:51:56 +0000

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. [COMMENT]

$100,000.00 in 4 Months? Not Likely!

Wed, 13 Sep 2006 10:29:55 +0000

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

Wed, 13 Sep 2006 09:26:25 +0000

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.
