I recently got an invitation to an internet marketing seminar at the Ramada here in Reno NV. I decided to do some background on the company, Storesonline Inc. and found they were fraudulent and scamming people out of money they owe hundreds of thousands of dollars to people in numerous states.
I decided to go to the seminar and try to save some people from getting ripped off. After my free breakfast of eggs, home fries, sausage and bacon, I stood up with my BBB report and asked the host why the company had an F rating and why they have so many lawsuits against them in numerous states and countries including Australia. I was then asked to leave! I hope I saved at least one person from throwing away their money. I wrote a hub about the scam prior to attending the seminar, check it out:

LOL, of course they would not like you speaking out. At least you got the free breakfast first!
Ya, the eggs were horrible though. I just hope I stopped a few people from getting scammed. People are having hard times and just looking for a way to improve their situation and a company like this preys on their vulnerability.
One Day when you least expect it... someone will step up beside you in the boys room and repossess their sausage!
You remember that!

I guess you were not the one left with "egg on your face".
Maybe they only say that in the UK and I now look really stupid for not knowing that.
I would hazard that you saved at least one person from some serious financial and possibly even other misery. You did a very good thing!!! A sincere congratulations.

What is your single most-visited hub? Why do you think it's so popular?Mine is "The Best Homemade Mexican Salsa". It doesn't have polls, videos or any other features that are supposed to drive more traffic and yet it consistently gets more views.

Smoke and mirrors or does the means justify the ends??The reason I happen to bring up this topic is I was able to attend a workshop by The Institute of Commercial Real Estate by Cherif Medawar. After a lil more digging around I did find mixed reviews regarding his workshops. Despite the mixed...

Why do some hubbers get kicked out of the google adsense program?In hub comments some people mention getting kicked out of adsense. They mention that it is because they don't get enough traffic or revenue through adsense. Is this true? What are reasons that you may get kicked off?

I had a new hub about two weeks ago that was indexed by google fairly quickly, and the ranking was normal. But just these few days, I noticed the same keywords used to find this hub no longer worked for it. Thought just the ranking dropped, but today I searched adding "hubpages" in the...

That's sucks! Google terminated my account yeasterday. Any ideas?I pleaded not guilty already, but I don't think it will help. Something I violated without knowing. What could it be? I am not from India so it is probably my fault. Traffic exchange usage may be. I really-really would like to know.
