Man sentenced in work-at-home scheme

The former president of a defunct nationwide work-at-home-scheme called Club Freedom has been sentenced to 18 months in prison for conspiracy to commit mail fraud.

Neil Telafor, 57, of Kresgeville, Monroe County, was sentenced yesterday by U.S. Middle District Senior Judge Malcolm Muir, who also imposed a three-year term of supervised release.

For now, Telafor is responsible for $143,604 in restitution because his co-defendant, Dayton Sauerman, formerly of State College, is believed to be in China with his wife, a native of that country.

I love it when these cheats get what's coming to them!

Site Build It - Ken Evoy and The Whole Infomercial Gang

I have visited SBI or Site Build It time and again - each time I get the feeling that I'm walking into a used car lot where salesmen gather in the back room placing bets on who can sell me the junkiest car for the best price.

I'll admit, I've never bought into the program, so I honestly don't know how it works from the inside, but from what I can tell from the outside, I don't EVEN want to know what's on the inside.

Years ago I bought into a scheme called Destiny Telecom. I had a relative that joined and gave the hard sell that made me feel like I was going to get rich, have money rolling in month after month and all I got was a pre-paid phone card worth over $700 and not a soul long distance for me to call.

I don't like schemes, I don't like MLM's and I don't like programs that give the hard, you're gonna get rich sell with those order today and try it risk free buttons everywhere.

I've done those risk free things before and well, once the business has my credit card number, getting them to remove me is like trying to pull my eye teeth myself.

If someone is reading this who HAS bought into the Site Sell thing and can give me a glimpse at it from the inside, I'd gladly listen. But here's the thing. I will NOT be buying in, but if you have and you believe the product, I will be able to tell by what you write.

There's a big difference in believing in a product and promoting it with passion and having been the sucker who bought in and is just looking to get their money back.

I don't like the Herbalife thing!
I don't like the MOM Team thing!
I don't like the Mary Kay thing!
I don't like the Pre-Paid Legal thing!
I don't like the Quixtar thing!
And I don't like the Amway thing!

I think they are all rip-offs and Site Sell just smells like Amway with a techno twist!
