This whole site seems to be full of this kind of opinion based BS with no decent evidence of any kind... just a bunch of people with time on their hands and egos that need to be stroked talking back and forth to each other. Grab a life, pepes, you could have an great site here, if you did a decent job of it instead of all this worthless gossipping
Think you missed the last part ...

when they continue to promote something to their online friends which has been demonstrated to be risky, illegal or unsustainable
There are many threads on this and other consumer advocacy forums which give chapter and verse on WHY certain schemes are scams. Check Quatloos, to name but one, and you will find that they generally share the views of this forum as to which is or isn't a scam (and they are only a bunch of legal eagles. lol) The views expressed on one consumer advocacy site invariably coincide with others doing a similar job (protecting the public). Google the schemes. Never mind about the promoters names attached to them when you start, just check out the schemes. You can tie the names in afterwards if you choose and decide for yourself if that particular person is a serial promoter of illegal schemes or if it's their first rodeo.

So you see, I am not for a minute suggesting that anyone who has been accused "joe soap is a scammer" per se needs to provide any justification, but when the scheme itself that they promote is under fire, they should be willing to defend their schemes with facts and figures or just keep quiet.(and I got paid really doesn't hack it as a demonstration of legality or sustainability by the way. Everyone gets paid for a while). The cries of "unfair" and "I am being cyberstalked" are a little inappropriate when those same people are publicly promoting their "businesses" with their personal information attached and with claims that are being demonstrated to be misleading or downright false.

If you dont want to be called out for promoting a HYIP, one of the more scurrilous MLMs or any other dubious money making scheme and calling it a legal and sustainable way to make money online, then don't promote it in everyone's face. You can't have it both ways.


Everyone has their own way of presenting their views about scams including those scams promoted on AdlandPro on many threads here, but if you take a careful look you will find that there is generally a hard body of fact behind the accusations of a program being a scam. It doesn't matter if one likes or trusts a person who promotes a specific scam, because the facts that evidence it to be a scam do not change because of the name of the member who promotes it.

Before calling out a forum for BS accusations, it would be wise to take a long hard look at the stuff promoted there in members threads and signatures, before defending a site like AdlandPro as being pretty much scam free. You might get an unpleasant surprise.
