Tom Petters Gets 50 Years for $3.65B Fraud - CBS News

 

Does this mean I'm not going to get rich? At least I have that Nigerian Prince working for me.

 

Attn: Carl,

While I certainly can understand if you didn't want to do it, I would certainly think that starting a new thread posting my contact info, and stating that what I did as being in bad form, I would ask you to take a look in the mirror my friend. The only reason I sent it to you, and six others, was because you commented about wanting to earn extra money on the side in a thread topic specifically about wanting to earn extra money on the side. My posts were in a thread specifically discussing that topic. How dare I try to share something with those asking about how to do it. Everyone here knows who I am, who are you?

Having said that, I will take to heart everyones comments and not send you PM's again, but really I think your new thread is far more egregious than what I did. i am still a fellow aviator trying to make ends meet, and I thought I'd share something that I found to be a worthwhile investment and money earner for me. It really begs the question, are you in a competing market? Why else would you try to tear mine down?

As far as it being an illegitimate pyramid scheme. Do some research!! We were the number one fastest growing privately owned company in the US in 2010, (Inc magazine) heres the link. http://www.inc.com/magazine/20100901...g-company.html

I'm not going to come on here and try to convince you about my company that you are not interested in. But I will call your character on the carpet for starting a new thread with the sole intention of bashing my name and what I am doing to improve my lot, while you simply b!tch about how unfortunate you are and sit on your butt and do nothing. If you think I'm taking this personally, I am.

 

Advantage, CLECA

 

Listen, I've got better things to do than argue with you about a subject I don't care about, however, I'll address a couple of your points, albeit briefly, and then we'll all go about our lives as if this pointless discussion never took place.

First off, if you don't want people knowing who you are or what your phone number is (even though I see HSLD has corrected that for you), why did you post those details in two different threads, both viewable by any Joe Blow with an internet connection? And because of your blatant disregard for your own privacy, I figured you wouldn't mind me posting your little message, in it's entirety, just one more time. Apparently I was wrong. That happens from time to time. Live and learn.

I appreciate you taking the initiative to not send me any more PM's. Thanks. Although, if you were to send me that PM again, I'd recommend an approach that sounds less like a "telemarketer" and more like a "fellow aviator" who's trying to extend a helping hand or words of wisdom. I don't know what your aviation background is other than what I can derive from the very little information you've provided in your previous posts, profile, and username. No, I'm not in a competing market. I don't have the time of day for that kind of nonsense. I'm not trying to tear yours down, just trying to make my fellow APCers aware of what I thought might be a potential scam.

Whatever, man. I don't really care if your company was the fastest growing privately owned company in 2010, according to some online magazine that I've never heard of. Let's hear some of your personal results. That would be something I'm interested in.

Well, that's exactly what I wanted. Thank you. As I said before, my sole intention was to make my fellow Forum members aware of what I perceived to be a scam. I'm not b!tching about my situation (IIRC, I was actually posting advice for second jobs in those other threads) and I'm most certainly not sitting on my butt doing nothing (even though, admittedly, I have wasted the better part of 20 minutes drafting this retort). Obviously you're very serious about this endeavor, although that neither disproves nor proves that what you're proposing could be considered similar to a pyramid scheme. Prove to us without a doubt that it's not similar to a scheme and I'll have the Moderators tear down my original comment and I'll send you a personal apology in which you can feel free to post as a new thread for the world to see. That said:

 

That's a tie ball game!
