MLM ORAC FRAUD IN THE MLM ORAC WARS
24 Sept 2004 – What a riot!  Brunswick lab report same date same lines, but different company names and VERY HIGH  Orac Values for the product people are emailing PDFs about.   My, my, guess what? Brunswick Labs don’t know PDF’s can be hacked and Photoshop does the rest!   Beware of Brunswick lab reports online, especially when not posted on a Company’s website (they have to take responsibility)!   The current forgeries are being sent only by email.  This is better than Bush’s forged National Guard record by CBS!

DANGER!!! 911!!!  PASS  TO CUSTOMERS, RELATIVES AND FRIENDS ASAP - FDA SLOW!
8 Sept 2004 – News of an FDA approved drug killing people had to be released in France at an epidemiological conference in Bordeaux.  No doubt the Pizer would have smothered the report on Vioxx, the $2.5 billion dollar arthritis drug, if it had been released in the U.S.  The study found that Vioxx had three times the risk of heart attacks and sudden cardiac death as those who are not using it.  There were 8,199 occurrences of both in a study of patients from 1999-2001.   The FDA was quick to kill ephedra sales based on flaky, trumped up studies they commissioned.  Now we have a certain killer with solid science and we do not see the head of Health and Human Science on TV condemning Vioxx.  Tell your customers, your relatives, and all you see or know that Vioxx kills!   Word of mouth will save lives while the FDA slumbers!  As anything with big $$$$ drug companies attached, the FDA is going to drag its feet!!!!

GIFTING SCAMMERS RAIDING ARKANSAS
4 Sept 2004 – Arkansas is being hit by a swarm of crooked “grifters” with more names for their gifting scams than any other state.  The AG there, an able fellow, identifies the names of ones they are after.  Look at names….. because the scammers will be coming to your state after being chased out of Arkansas!  Gifting steals good prospects from you!  It turns them into criminals!  :>(

APPGAS OWNER CHARGED - JAILED!
3 Sept 2004 – American Petroleum Productions Gas Owner David Comer was temporarily jailed pending trial.  APP ran a money in, money out, binary gas card pyramid.  He is charged with 10 Felony counts of “unlawful merchandising practices.”  Each count can carry a penalty of 4 years in prison and a fine of $5,000.  APPGas hit consumer's credit cards and did not deliver.  The AG did not say anything about a money in – money out pyramid. Ed. Note They probably used the charge above to grab his books and hang him higher!
EXCEL TELEPHONE NEWS NOT GOOD
31 Aug 2004 – We told our paid subscribers 3 weeks ago rumors were that Dallas based Excel/Vartec telephone might be on the auction block.  Now more facts roll out:  (1) They have been losing some big bucks (2) Some analysts say they may default on a $340 million loan (3) They still owe $227 million to Canadians Teleglobe in a contract dispute.  (4) A question of Chapter 11 in the next year for Vartec/Excel?  On the good side it seems that their national convention  (Excelebration) released the new plan to sell commercial and residential electricity.  Ed. Note: Good luck to all Excel reps it is a hard battle to sell at $399 with no ROI! http://www.thedigest.com/articles/167/33.html

BLACK COMMUNITY HIT HARDEST BY SCAMS
30 August 2004 – Because of income and savings disparities  families of color are hit harder by scams than other races in the U.S.   One exception, us American Indians get hit hard too!  Good article because no mention of MLM is made on the bad list!  Ur Ed: Great!

TAKEN BY A SCAM? BE GLAD TO BE ALIVE!   MEET A SOCIOPATH!
22 Aug 2004 – I sit and watch scam after scam.  Then people in the game with a crook runing it, "say The Leader Was So Nice!"  "He/she couldn’t be a crook!"..  Suckers say, "I taked to them and they assured me that they where honest," and loved distributors and I was in good hands."   They were so nice   Ok..Dummies listen well: There is a class of nutty people called sociopaths, they lie to make you love them!  They tell you what you want to hear and are your best friends.  BUT if you look at the profile of a sociopath they lie to hurt you.  They love it!  They like it! They want to suck you in and then steal your love or money (two of the top 3).  You walk away believing their lies... loving them and thinking they were great heroes.  Of course if you hit the 3rd type of sociopath, the serial murder (rather than love or money) you would be a DEAD victim.  As part of their end game rather than taking your love or money……they take your life.   So you dummies that send me email telling me how, "good", these crooks where…  get down on your hands and knees and thank the Lord that they only hit your pocket book and didn’t slit your THROAT!  Mutter..mutter... Reality Check !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! http://www.wordiq.com/definition/Sociopath

LESSON 102 ON SCAMS – BUSINESS MAKERS LIE MORE!
20 Aug 2004 – I received several emails saying that this was not a scam.  The problem presented was the guys running it Jodis Butler and Robin Stamard got in a fight.     FAT CHANCE!  I didn’t put in yesterdays report enough for dummies 101:  guaranteed downlines are always a scam. If these guys aren’t crooks they are mathematically challenged!  Why did they move offshore?   Why?  You can’t get the numbers to keep a guaranteed program running!    CLICK HERE>>> TO REFRESH YOUR MEMORY ABOUT WHAT I KEEP TELLING....... YOU... OR GO BACK TO HIGH SCHOOL AND TAKE MATH FOR THE MENTALLY RETARDED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!AGAIN!!!!

LESSON 101 ON SCAMS -- BUSINESS MAKERS GUARANTEE A LIE! 
19 Aug 2004 – Guaranteed income, they do all the work?  FAT CHANCE!  This is a common scam and we have six complaints of company skipping.  What clues to a scam:  (1) They are offshore in the West Indies.  (2) No names and no pictures of owners  (3) A money back guarantee!   If people learn to look for any two of these 3 factors we will stop a lot of scamming!

MLM FUCOIDAN WARS
17 Aug 2004 -- We've had aloe vera wars, phone card wars, telephone wars and now a new twist!  This Fucoidan war was like the Gunfight at the OK Corral!  First shooter better have an accurate gun or you shoot yourself in the foot (The Limu Company).  The second party to the gunfight was Vitacorp who showed up with some really accurate chromatographs.  Coming soon ... the ORAC wars!         http://www.mlmwatchdog.com/MLM_wars_fucoidan.html

Avon proved them wrong!  Congratulations Avon!

HOW TO CATCH  HYPSTERS
12 Aug 2004 – The Jump At Biz website below got caught with their hype up and pants down.  On their website they have their Alexa rating as 7,859 which is really good.   However my Alexas toolbar shows the rating of that website at 903,827  which is down in the mud.   Tut, tut don’t lie to MLMWatchDog reporters who use the Alexa tool bar.  Your Hype makes you look like a scammer!  http://www.jumpatbiz.com./  Link to Alexa toolbar for you to detect scams http://www.mlmwatchdog.com/ ALEXA

VIRTUAL PONZI STOCK MARKET - EXPLOSIVE SHARES.COM
10 Aug 2004 - Here we go again!

26 July 2004 – I have previously warned about these two!  More complaints come in and hundreds of searches from search engines.  Here is the flat out news again – they are bad!  In 23 states they break business opportunity law.  The only reason that someone would pay $1200 up front for the overpriced “junk” they sell is for the opportunity to make money.  Coastal Vacations has switched states after getting hit once and is about due again.  Liberty League with it’s $1200 Information package AND $6000 seminar will…be a target for refunds!   Save the innocents  for GOOD MLM COMPANIES!
