a quick look at mlm business

Posted by on 2012/02/07 No comments

I was approached by a friend some years ago to join and make a residual income and retire rich early.  At that time i did make some research on the internet and decided not to join the company.

I was approached by another friend 2 weeks ago.  This time, I thought I would put together all my research and write about it.  Hence this post is a collection of the material I went through and videos that I watched.  It also includes responses by the recruiters for some questions that I asked them directly.

Some excerpts of my conversations with the presenters in the house.

me: how much money will I make?

him: as much as you work hard.

me : do you have anything negative to share about your business?

him : none.

me : (after 20 minutes into his slideshow/explanation of nutrilite business ) is it anyway related to amway?)

him : yes, but Nutrilite independent of Amway and is based in California.

me : where do i do some ‘research’ on this business

him: go to my/our website and see/read what we have to say.  walmart has many lawsuits too.

me: do I have to buy many ‘training material’ to be an ibo?

him: no.

me: suppose I signup now and when will my ‘training/mentoring’ finish?

him: it depends on how much money you want to make.

me : show me a proof of your income in this business.  you claimed to be in it for more than 4 years and ‘retired’

him : he started to show me a slideshow that he had prepared to show me.

me : i said: no, no, no.  this is theory whatever you are about to show me.

him : after a little hesitancy, showed me a check for $20,000.00 given by AmWay.  It was a graphical image of the check on his pc.  I could not see much details on the check, he took his pc back away from my view.

Nevertheless, after two days after this meet, I told them I am not interested in the business.

 

 

Email from Intuit, INC or Quick Books

Posted by on 2012/02/07 No comments

Last week I got an email supposedly from QuickBooks asking me to update tax information.

Today when i clicked it went to an error page on an entirely different site no related to quick books or intuit.

Today I got another similar mail.  When i looked at the url it was linked to, it pointed to another site that was different from the previous mail.

THAT made me sure that it was a phishing mail.  So, I blacklisted it.

Be careful what link you click on in your emails.

upgrading from vista to windows 7 home premium – conclusion

Posted by on 2011/10/30 No comments

This is part 3 of a series on upgrading windows.

Link to part 2 is here and and link for part 1 is here.

In conclusion, let me summarize.

The tools you need are:

First, a genuine upgrade DVD from Microsoft or the manufacturer of your laptop/desktop.  It was Dell in my case.  I also assume that your pc has a dvd rom or you can manage to connect one to your pc.  I do not support any kind of non-genuine windows operating systems that some claim to provide for cheaper price.  See this article for details on such scams or bad purchases.

Second, time and pateince.

upgrading from vista to windows 7 home premium – part 2

Posted by on 2011/10/13 No comments

Well, I ran into another problem after I did upgrade to windows 7 home premium: I needed more space to on the second partition of the 100gb hdd to accommodate all the updates needed for the os to run smoothly.  I also installed visual studio 2010 on it which really takes a lot of hard disk space.

The first partition (which contained windows server 2008 hpc edition) had some extra space.  So i needed to move some space about 10 gb from this partition to w7 partition.  I researched for partition software and i came accross easeus.  EaseUS helped a great deal to move about 10gb from first partition to the second.  Now I have enough space in w7 to accommodate all windows updates (specially visual studio sp1) and workspace for normal functioning of the os.

Here is the link to this article that i wrote on another of my blogs.  Since it is my own article, I need not copy/paste it all over again here.

 

Windows keys for less???

Posted by on 2011/10/01 1 comment

Beware of websites that claim to sell microsoft windows keys for a very less prices!

As I was doing some research today on an entirely unrelated subject(windows drivers for Holux GPS receiver), i came accross (probably, via google ads) a website called keyoem.com and wanted to buy one of those keys to upgrade my windows 7 home premium to business/ultimate.  The price they had put on their site was less than $35.

But, before I did do the purchase, I wanted to see if it was a scam.  So i did a search on google with “windows key scam.” Lo and behold, i got several hits.

These websites look genuine, and even have Microsoft partner logos on them.

The first one was from technonsense.com.  This is an article that i took time to read and it saved me $35.

Here is a link to the full article.  Thanks to technonsense.com, who has done a great job with this regard.
