Nearing Completion of Evaluation of RS system (not)

Uhhh, who cares?????

Far as I am concerned, I strongly DO believe that most infomercials are scams.

Off the top of my head, the only legitimate one I can think of, as I write this, is for Magic Jack.

I'm not certain that can be classified an infomercial. If you choose to say it is not an informercial, than I think that all informercials are scams.

Yes "Magic Jack" is an infomercial. The TV advertising business is tightly regulated. It is very unlikely that a "scam".infomercial program would last very long on the air or even if it would make it on air. The TV stations are very protective of their licenses. There have been companies that did violate laws and regulations so bad guys do fall thru the cracks but they get caught relatively quickly. By the way RT how do you define a "scam" when it comes to advertising? As I said there are federal and state laws that the industry must follow.

Oh my!

DonDiego alerts his fellow LVA posters to NOT go to this website: WonderHussy - Nude Photographs. It contains nude photographs of an attractive naked lady without any clothes on totally undressed.

I define a "scam" as when the advertiser says, "Call for your FREE Trial & pay $6.95 S & H", and you find yourself billed for an ongoing monthly "subscription" to the product before you even receive the "free sample". And calls to the toll free number to cancel just don't "work" until you contact your card company.

Or the "satisfaction guaranteed", just call for a refund. But your refund is delayed until complaints are filed with the financial institution.

Or the MLM opportunities.

There are a plethora of "infomercials" where the companies have unethical business practices, and if you check online you can find many BBB complaints, etc.

I call it a scam when the advertiser is not completely honest, or deceiving the public. Perhaps flashing the terms and conditions on the screen in small print for 1 second.

I do not pay attention anymore, it's been awhile since I saw anything interesting. But I'm also cautious and investigate before contact.

Following the letter of the law is a lot different from my definition of being ethical. And the law does what, slap them on the wrist.

And, don't most stations run a disclaimer prior to airing the show. I seem to recall seeing those quite often.

But, you know that. You're in the infomercial business. I may be talking about one, or more that you are or were involved with. ::: shrug :::

If one person is taken for one cent "unexpectedly" due to an infomercial, I call that a scam.

Yes RT the business practices that you cite would not only be unethical but they would violate law. Don't think for a minute that I would defend them. And my infomercials do not sell product.

The station disclaimers do not relieve the station from liability. Stations must clear all content. They are ultimately responsible for everything they broadcast.

And yet good old Money claims that he is not responsible for whatever might happen to anyone who reads his website and decides to try Singer's system.

Buyer beware when dealing with Internet sites. Those who run them may not have the same morals (or be under the same laws) as other media venues.

I guess I need to expand my fetishness as I've never heard of a stomach sounds video before. Pretty girl, though. Certainly more exciting than studying Singer's system.

You have no idea!

It is important (at least to me) that everyone understands Sarah does all the nude photography to supplement her income, as she was hit incredibly hard by the housing bubble. Working 7 days a week she expects to still be in debt for the next 5 years. She is one of the nicest, sweetest, most honest, friends I have and not at all like you'd expect from her public persona.

I do ware my sword fighting armor for protection when we go out, it is unclear at this time who I'm protecting. I'm seeing her tonight, so if there no posts from me for a few days assume the worst...

Oh and by "worst" assume I'm fine and would prefer not to be bothered.

BTW: The only reason I posted about this was people seemed to like all the hubub about Bagiat and Shar. I thought the populace might fine my social life a tad interesting. It's not as "interesting" as the B&S situation, since Sarah Jane has never caused me a moments grief in 12 years and thus far has only made me laugh. So I'm sad to report there is no dirty laundry to air, just really weird laundry we're having difficulty figuring out who it belongs to.

Gee arc I've been playing video poker for years following Bob Dancer's strategy. I've used his software and attended a lecture in Vegas and I read his website. I used his trainers. Yet I've lost thousands of dollars and never had a winning year playing VP. Do you think I can sue Dancer? Is Dancer liable for my losses?

Help me out here Arc. My legal team might need you as an expert witness.
