Top 9 Ways To Tell Your Biz-Op Might Be A Scam

November 27th, 2008

9: The top people in the organization insist on
calling the company a BIZ-op, even in written
communication.

8: Every email your sponsor sends you crashes your
entire system because the signature file contains
63 links and 23 banner ads, all for different
biz-ops than the one he’s sponsored you in.

7: Your sponsor insists on being known only as Agent
7731 and can only be reached at a public phone
booth.

6: You call your sponsor at the phone booth to find
that he’s only available between 2 and 4 a.m. You
leave a message.

5: The person who takes your message tells you his
name. It’s Agent 7732.

4: The founder of the company has a framed picture of
Charles Ponzi on his desk.

3: The founder of the company has a framed picture of
Ken Lay on his desk.

2: Either of the aforementioned pictures is
autographed and bears the inscription:
To My Soul Mate.

And the number one way to tell your BIZ-op might be a
scam:

1: There are already 3,478 people involved in selling
the same opportunity.

And that’s JUST IN YOUR ZIP CODE.

Spending Too Much on Your Phone Bills?

November 27th, 2008

If like me you are feeling the effects of the burgeoning credit crunch, you’ll be excited to hear that there is a surprisingly simple way to save yourself a lot of cash. I use my mobile phone so much, it might as well be stuck to the side of my face, so when I found out it was possible to make cheap calls without having to mess around with a new SIM card - I wanted to hear more! There’s a fair few companies now which provide ‘mobile VoIP’, so essentially it’s like using Vonage as you would do at home accept on your mobile, wherever you are.

It’s as simple as downloading a small piece of software onto your mobile which lets you save loads on your bill by routing calls via the internet rather than over your usual mobile carrier network. The best bit is, it requires no technical expertise or anything. All you need to do is use your phone as you would do normally, except at a much lower cost. I get the feeling that this might spell trouble for the traditional mobile carrier networks, I have already saved a huge amount of money. It’s great for travelling as well as with my price package I pay the same low flat rate, and am not faced with roaming charges or anything.
