cash flow everything around CFEAM, get the money...

time for a short, "this is something that just happened, and i will need more characters than twitter allows in order to tell the story" type entry. so last night one of money making homies sent me a link to some CPA offer cash flow opportunity. because i trust him i checked the thing out. it was an offer to buy a product called myPCbackup and in return the offering party would set you up with a free affiliate site that would pay you up to 2000% commission. seems almost too good to be true. but i have a problem with these business type opprtunities:
  1. i'm not well vesred enough on how these types of offers are regulated to know how legit the offer is. when guys like bernie madoff can operate for years to the tune of $65billion, and the number of fraudulent financial opportunities are apparently rising let's just say i get a bit skeptical
  2. the whole sales pitch bugs me. every time one of these guys presents one of these opportunities it's the same story: how would you like to spend $X on Y widget and make [exponentially larger return]?  well then all you need to do is give us the money and we'll tell you how! oh, and if you get your buddies to give us the money, too, you'll get a piece of everything they make and everything the people they bring in make and on and on until you're the BAUSE of the whole world!
  3. if it was really that easy, literally everyone would be doing it already. i've never seen anybody turn down easy money that was 100% legit. which brings me to
  4. i'm a research doing MFer, and it is almost laughably difficult to find reliable third party research on these opportunities. most search engine front pages wind up flooded with blog posts that don't site sources, articles from websites with links that all seem to go to the offeror you're reseaching, forum threads (which, of course, never have reliable links), and of course the offeror themself. or look like this: 
look. a link to the BBB's homepage but not a review. hmm.
  1. and ONE MORE THING! all of these offers link to some videowall page with a youngish WASP talking about how great the opportunity is followed by a link to the offer, but with no links to a sevond or third page explaining the opportunity in greater detail. don't expect me to just join you on faith. i need to know exactly how my money is gonna make me money before i give you my money. every legit, researched, regulated and accountable financial person i've dealt with has laid out a detailed plan for how my money would grow BEFORE i let them play with it. and these are people that i know personally, not just some internet video. 
to be fair, CNET offers the product as well, and the guy who sent me the link is one of the researched legit guys out there. but what do you think? am i right to be funny with my money, or should i stop being scary? because, as the saying goes, scared money don't make money. stay tuned....

i know this is off topic, but it is the gotdamn jugganaut, bitch!
