Bad Business
For The Good Of Humanity
by Rusty on Jun.15, 2009, under Bad Business
Today I read an article on Foxnews.com that I found humorous. Probably almost everyone has received the robocall from a telemarketer telling you that your car warranty is about to expire, more than once even. This was a unsolicited calling campaign started by four individuals and the companies they run. Today’s article is about how these people have hit with a civil lawsuit by the Federal Trade Commission for their illegal activities.
The losers behind this scheme ran an operation of robocalling that would flood a area code and prefix with the unsolicited calls offering a product wrapped in lies and deception. These peoples operation called millions of cell phones, people registered on the do not call list, and even 911 call centers. I do some work in communications on the side and have personally felt the effects of these people far beyond just the calls to my cell phone.
Have you ever wondered who the jackasses were behind the scheme that flooded you with these calls? Well, they are Christopher D. Cowart of Fort Lauderdale Florida, James A Dunne and wife Maureen of Daytona Beach Florida and Damian P. Kohlfeld of Valparaiso Indiana. Collectively they run Transcontinental Warranty, Voice Touch and Network Foundations, the three companies that put the scheme in motion.
I applaud the FTC for taking action and hope that justice is served and these clowns are never able to harass millions of people again.
AIG Executive Bonuses, Seriously?
by Rusty on Mar.16, 2009, under Bad Business
Today’s news AIG planning to use more tarp money to pay $175 million for executive bonuses is just a bit too much. President Obama also expressed his concern and outrage over the ailed financial institutes plan to burn up another chunk of tax payers money. This company is a failure and is currently afloat on tax payers money loaned from the federal government.
I can’t figure out what makes them so stupid they would attempt to do this, but there was also the big resort party they threw the first time they got bail out money. The fact that this company’s pay structure includes giving bonuses to executives that have run it into the ground is plenty of proof they deserve to fail. In all the places I have ever received pay bonuses it was as a reward for good performance and being productive beyond what was expected of me. This is obviously not what the executives and management of AIG is doing. I say put AIG down like a lame horse. Stop wasting good money on a defunct irresponsible organization.

Has anyone actually seen the report this company did on LLI? If you talk to a die hard LL, they always say that this company gave them the highest rating. The info is not free. I wanted to see what they said about LL, but it was something you had to pay for. Just wondering?

There is an interesting post on scam.com about this LL guy. If you read the entire thread, he proudly boasts that “thousands and thousands of people are acheiving a six figure income”. He has yet to submit proof. If this were true, the income disclouser would have more than 3% making the six figure income. Here is a link to that thread.
