Has anyone had this ad running in your town? It is a full page ad and the headline is
"Home- based Entrepreneurs Cashing In On Ebay/Online Auction Boom" Thousand of Americans are building fortunes without leaving their home. etc. etc...one seller, Larry Rueschhoff boasts of 'finding an old camera for $8.00 and watching it sell for $1200. That works out to be a tidy profit of $1192 or a gain of 15000%. Not bad for a couple of hours of work (guess they ignore all the hours spent finding that one camera).
Online auction have become so lucrative that thousands of Americans have happily tossed their day jobs or started a second career.
One online seller, Jim Wilson decided to specialize in software ...happened upon a nice little title... bought 200 for only $8.00 each..sold in less that 2 months for an on average $70.00 plus shipping. Jims $1600 investments turned into $14,000 in only 60 days. Try that in the stock market!"
They want you to attend an online auction seminar to learn how to make $$ at home, attract high bids and sell nearly anything and its for FREE. They also quote Nino and Cindy Sa'Vaj', Rosalyn Bronstein, Ed Noponen, Dr. Marianne LeBlanc
"If you want freedom, learn about Clickincome.com."
So anyone ever heard of this? I went to the website, but I didn't want to put in my email address.

No one gives anything away for free. There has to be a catch. Full page ads and hall rentals cost $$$. They are going to get these poor suckers to fork over money somehow.
I haven't seen this version but I have seen smaller classified ads in my paper on how to make "big $$$" on eBay. I called the number and got a machine that gave a PO Box so I could send my $49.95 to get secret eBay selling tips and make up to $100,000 a year!

This stuff always shows up when the economy heads south. I think it used to be "government jobs" apply now !!! And then the good old get rich with no money down realestate purchases.
People laid off and unemployment benefits running out and people up to their eyeballs in credit card debt make for easy fishing for these types of "offers".
