I am reading these threads with great interest as likewise I was scammed by the infamous Mike Jones 11 years ago when this company first set up. Based in Blackpool at the time. I could write my own book on the chain of events and my own research into this professional conman!0

I have some books if you just want to see some Linara ! They are mostly out of date and the photography is quite low quality. Most of the businesses featured that sell them all the time........ don't !0

Our friendly, innocent businessman who is not a scammer, liar, cheat, theif and general scumbag is very quiet ! I haven't heard a peep from him for ages, won't even asnwer his phone. But I seem to remember him saying he is always ready to talk...another convenient lie methinks !0

Interesting.
A friend of mine who lives and works in California told me about a scam in the States. He told me how exclusive areas in which to resell self help cds were sold at very high prices considering the cds could be copied and the value of the product was debatable. People were drawn into the scam, not for the quality and viability of the product, but only because there was a guarantee that if a certain income wasn't achieved, a full refund would be given. A few refunds were given, just to allow time to build a large portfolio of victims.
Once enough victims were scammed and perhaps too many getting impatient for their promised refunds, the fraudster disappeared.
This Jones chap isn't American by any chance?0 -
Is this thread still live?
I think Mike is back scamming again, this is the ad on Gum Tree, he wants £5k upfront to start a partnership in creating e-books.
Please read in full before responding.
I have an opportunity available for ONE person to work permanently with me as a partner in my business that has sold in excess of 500k products offline, and which has been featured on television and in many newspapers and magazines. I have been reliably informed by several highly respected web developers that taking advantage of social media such as YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, etc, and the Kindle and ebook markets, would realise millions in sales as the products are totally exclusive, highly unusual, and very popular.
There is a wide variety of work to be done including web development, although much can be outsourced. I am more interested in a compatible and enthusiastic person to work with than hard experience, and for the right person there would be minimum 6-10k earnings monthly, and probably a lot more. Full proof of earnings can be provided. The work is exciting, different, and very enjoyable.
As overheads and costs are involved, a small investment will be required. An immediate start is offered for the right person. Reply with your contact telephone number and a bit about yourself for a call back with further details.
This is a genuine opportunity that rarely comes along, so PLEASE NOTE: I am NOT interested in discussing with those just offering their services but no investment available, no matter how experienced you are. I am also not interested in curiosity seekers and time-wasters.0
