Topic : 07/03 Get Rich Quick Disasters

I'm sure glad this fellow isn't my husband.    Someone needs to take his wallet and cards from him -  and make him shake his head a few times.      How long before he is going to learn?  

There are business options -  ebay for example -  where money is being made -  but first you learn to research and play small before jumping in headfirst!    

Keep up the good work, Dr. Phil.       I almost always watch your show   -  you have helped a good many people  -   you are a good human being -  and I like the touch of humor you tend to throw in at tims! 

 

My husband used to laugh at me always watching your show -  and now he watches as well.  

 

Some of the people you have on would test the patience of Job  -   but you do manage to make them listen to what you are telling them.     

 

Those who try to throw stones and discredit you -   are jealous that they can't do it.     I don't watch that Morning Show  because of their stupidity  and now I certainly won't watch it.  

 

Again -    keep up the good work  -   we love you!!

That "gimmick" is known as phishing. They are hoping you are dumb enough to fall for this. If you really inherited or won anything, you wouldn't have to send all of this information to anyone since they would have this information, if you entered a contest. If the case is that you inherited anything, you would be contacted in a more professional way than e-mail. This is just like the scam that goes around saying that your bank account information has been compromised and they ask for your routing number, account number, name, address and phone number, etc. First off, if that really was your bank- they'd have this information. Second, no respectable bank would even contact you if your account was compromised. A few years ago, a hacker bypassed the servers at my bank and downloaded thousands of debit card numbers. While trying to pay for items I had bought at a store using my debit card, it came up as inactive/invalid. The bank had deactivated all of the numbers compromised and waited for the customers to make the first move by contacting the bank and letting them know that their debit cards weren't working. Only then did the bank re-issue new cards without needing any information. A hint to determine whether or not such an e-mail is fake is to ask yourself some common sense questions: Did the e-mail contain proper grammar? Wouldn't a bank that know its OWN routing number? I personally believe that any one that falls for this should be punished just as much as the person trying to commit fraud, only their charge would be STUPIDITY.

These scams count on the stupidity, gullibility and GREED of people to get themselves rich....and, I totally agree that anyone silly enough to fall for any of these schemes deserves whatever they get!

 

There is no free lunch; everything has a price!

Yes, but the trick is to do your research and homework FIRST in whatever field you're thinking of entering.......and always have PLAN B!

 

"If only"s don't pay the rent! 

I think that if a person is not using public assistance or receiving handouts from others and IS SELF-SUFFICIENT, and has no dependents, that we should not impose our cultural values on them. If they want to live in a tent, I think that's fine.

If others are depending on them, that's a different thing, but for heaven's sake, don't make any one give up their dreams or you will be left with a broken person. Instead, help support their dreams and if that means positively helping them modify their thinking, help THEM figure out what that needs to be. Life is not about what you accumulate, it's about the journey.

Does anyone thing these guys have undiagnosed Adult ADHD????  Seem like they fit the profile.

Did anyone catch the name of the invention (or anything specific) that helps you trim while painting?  I actually thought it was a great idea as I HATE trimming when painting (and like to change my paint color a lot) and this looks like it would actually be useful and faster than taping everything off.  Thanks!

NO 9-5 FOR ME! My office is where ever I want it to be. I'd love to have you on my team.

I have recently been blessed with an opportunity of a direct sales company where after just 5 months, I am making more than $500.00 per month. My income expands as my personal growth expands and this is NOT a get rich quick scheme, it is a wonderful company, with a product that blesses lives.

Dr. Phil said today that "everybody wants more money". That just isn't true. Not everything in life is about money. I don't really want more money. I teach, I make a fair salary that allows me to provide for all of my needs and the needs and most wants of my daughter. I am sure I am not the only person that thinks like this. I feel like I am rich because I have just enough money that I don't have to worry about it, and that is plenty for me.
