Thief Caught Out!

What we don't need is thieves in our midst!

One of our members (I'll call him John) was benefactoring a new member in (I'll call him Jack). He had transferred funds into Jack's PIG account.

As it turned out, John was experiencing some trouble with the sign up process... it doesn't matter what, and I'll not go into it.

Jack, because he wasn't signed up quickly, decided that he might be better off with the $20. So, he changed his password and made a withdrawal from PIG to Solid Trust Pay.

Ha! Ha! What Jack didn't know, was the "hawks-eyes" (that's Mike Dutton - the owner of the company) checks all the withdrawals before he approves them!

John had written that the funds were to join Jack into the business. Mike saw this and thought to himself... hmmm, something funny going on here!

At the same time as he was looking at it, it just turned out that I decided to ring Mike to alert him to the fact that I believed Jack was doing a runner with the money. Confirmed!

So Mike was able to cancel the transaction and send the funds back into John's account.

It was wonderful. I really felt like we had someone looking after us... that even $20 could not be stolen from us. Thanks Mike!

BUT... I decided at that moment, NO MORE! Nope, that is the end of all benefactoring. (BenClub members, hold on in there... I will talk to you separately). I will not longer be putting out pages or training that suggests it's the way to do business. No, from now on, everyone that comes in will have to pay for themselves.

I will not put our members at risk of losing their money when they give it in good faith. Yes, it was found this time, but the process might be automated soon so what happens then? No, no, no.

Alright, so it's going to cost a new member $20 for the first month, but as they add members they will make $17 on each one. Not such a bad deal hey!

I still wish to run the "Stress Free" method, but will be changing it to reflect what I'm saying here.

John didn't need a thief in his business, and we don't want him neither... or any other potential scoundral.

Anyway, on a different note! Who wants lessons? Step by step lessons on BBS? I've created them, or at least I've done 5 so far. Go check them out.

Warm regards
