Hey visitors to MoneyXperiment.com. Please bare with me as I am currently in the process of moving to my new home. I will be back soon with more frequent post as soon as the move is complete!

I’m still a member of the ning group and occasionally read the fourm. A while back some guy was bragging about how he lied to the bank and told them he was using the money to get a nose job. Well, apparantly he’s gotten himself into some financial trouble. This is what he said on the fourm:

“Hey guys are girls… I require some assistance.

I unfortunately, managed to dig myself a bit of a hole I can’t get out of immediately.

I’ve been holding off and off on asking for help, but not asking is what got me here; I had this dream of doing it for myself “no one but me did this” etc… but I’ve evolved that dream and realized that other people joining in isn’t the worst thing in the world ahha .

I’m having some financial difficulties no thats not right… more of a hurdle .

regardless, I would appreciate anyones help.”

Wonder if anyone will help? This is so sad.

Playing For Change

Currently I am doing a study on Forex Trends.  Trends and behavioral patterns of the market not in relation to economical or other news.  I started this study because one such trend has stood out to me and I have begun to watch it for a history of doing the same thing.

 Could you imagine ones success trading in Forex if there was a predictable known pattern that would most likely always play out.  I so far have found one such trend and I am now in a information gather and analyzing stage.  I just need more data to confirm what it appears is true.

 One technical tip that I read said to pick a currency pair and become an expert on that pair.  Don’t worry about the many others just be the expert on one.  So this is what I have done for the past year now and I see why being so focused on one pair is important.  Has anyone else ever found or are you aware of repeating trends in Forex markets?  I would love to hear more about it.  I will update as to the findings of my experiment as they become available. 

At the hands of the people that made them millionaires these people continue to exploit their kids and themselves for fortune and fame.  They express so much concern for their kids and what the divorce is going to do to them.

 Here is what you may consider Jon and Kate; shut up.  That’s right.  Shut your mouths and really care for your children.  Stop airing your dirty laundry for all the world so you can get another magazine deal or talk show interview.  Your narcissistic and selfish behavior is appalling. 

 To the people that fuel the fire by buying the magazines and obsessing over what is going on in their lives, you carry a certain burden of guilt as they are only human and humans cant resist money and greed.  For the sake of the kids one should really encourage Jon and Kate to be grown ups and not live like pompous Hollywood stars.

 People can help encourage this by not feeding into the frenzy of weekly garbage that comes out to keep readers and followers interested.  It seems that if more than a week goes by people already start to not care so it shouldn’t be to hard one would not think.

The debt help industry is flooded with companies offering debt relief to its consumers. This has perplexed consumers as they are concerned about the authenticity of these debt help firms. This holds true particularly for the debt settlement and debt consolidation companies. It is very difficult to differentiate an authentic debt settlement firm from one that is involved in scams.

 One of the main factors that can prevent you from being duped is your awareness and a thorough understanding of how the debt help programs work. It is your hard earned money that you are shelling out and you have every right to know what is going on with your cash.

 There are many debtors that depend entirely on the debt settlement company and don’t feel the need to know how the program works. These debtors are the worst affected and when they lose their money they start complaining. How will you identify whether a debt settlement company you are planning to hire is legitimate?

 Given below are few instances that can throw light on the unethical ways in which the fraudulent debt settlement firms work.

• If the debt settlement firms you are hiring promises you to remove all negative information from your credit report, they are scammers. You cannot remove negative information from the credit report unless you work for it. There are no quick fixes to a debt free life.

• If the company tries to convince you that if you are unable to pay off debt your creditor will not sue, this is hoax. If you believe the debt help firm, it will only aggravate your problems and you will find yourself dragged to the court in due course.

• There are many debt settlement companies that operate as non profit making firms but in reality they pocket part of the amount you shell out for making payments to the creditors.

It is also important to remember that you should never settle for the first debt settlement firm you come across. Compare services, fees of various debt settlement companies and above all check the credibility of the company you are hiring. This is best done if you go through the past records of the company and find out how many complaints have been lodged against the firm. Since majority of the debt settlement firms have their own websites you can shop around from the comfort of your home or office. 

Seems that Google is pretty quick to index my pages and already have visitors landing here on the search terms “Erin Pavlina Scam”.  I’m trying to figure out what about Erin Pavlina could be a scam.

 I can see authenticity being in question.  But when I think of scam I think of someone not providing a service or product promised.  Seems to me if you pay the fee to have a reading from her you will actually get a reading.  Is it real or made up is for each individual to decide and believe as they choose.

 I must say I am not totally sure that people who say they are psychics are making a genuine claim.  I have a pretty clear understanding that they provide a service that is unusual and could be make believe, maybe not.

 What other ways could a psychic like Erin be scamming people?  Having a psychic reading isn’t much different than going to church in my mind.  Are preachers scammers too since the information they are giving you takes an element of faith to be able to claim it as real?

My interesting person I thought of today is Erin Pavlina.  I discovered who Erin was through visiting Steve Pavlina’s personal development site.  Erin’s site is for spiritual wisdom and she provides psychic readings.

 Yep, that’s right…psychic readings.  Erin says she is a psychic medium and offers intuitive readings to help you with your love, personal, and professional life.  She also claims to be able to often connect with the dead loved ones and relay messages from them from beyond the grave.

 The first thing I think if is the movie Ghost and Whoopi Goldbergs part as a phony psychic scamming people with readings.  Traveling gypsies and scarves come to mind to but don’t know why.  Typically through history it seems psychics have a history of being nothing more than con artist or “performers”, 

 Much like Roy and his beliefs of the alien reptoids and such, I just don’t know where I stand on this one either.  I am not religious per say, I don’t have a strong foundation of beliefs on what happens after you die.

 One thing that I will say is that Erins site is done very tastefully and it seems that her readings would be done in a tasteful, professional way.  I personally would love to get to experience a reading from her myself to see what it is truly like.  Maybe that the best way to help develop an aspect on what psychics and mediums can offer people.

 While I would love to experience a reading by Erin, I think I would have to pass on a alien encounter with Roy Timm.  Check out her site by clicking here  if you like to know more about her.  Please note that I am in no way promoting her site or services.  I do not know Erin nor do I receive incentives to make a post about her.  This is just a continuation of my post of interesting people on the web.  Feel free to post comments, let me know what you think about people who claim to be psychic.  Thanks for reading!

Seems in the last couple weeks there has been considerable more people from the United States looking for information on Polaris Media Group.  This tells me there must be a little more marketing of the re-branded Liberty League International back in our country again.

 To anyone searching for information on Polaris Media Group I strongly recommend you also do research on Liberty League International.  This is what Polaris was before they were Polaris.  Polaris may seem a little more attractive when searching because you may not see the info of all the people talking of being ripped off, the lawsuits and class action taken against them, and their brutal mistake of storming Australia.

 Thinking of trying Polaris Media Group?  Do your research and know exactly what your getting into.  Do you feel like you have been a victim of a MLM or direct sales scheme?  Make sure and report it to the proper authorities.
