Getting screwed over in business-it happens but it still sucks

I have gotten screwed over a few times in my life. In business it is more acute because it involves losing money-not just pride or ego. Usually it has happened when I try to do things on the cheap-I am careful with my money-but being good with money and trying to get something done for much less usually produces toxic results.

I learned that crooks are everywhere-sometimes there difficult to and often they are shameless. Most have no discernible conscience-they are twisted greedy POS who tend to screw over all customers-not just you. A lot are found on sites that heavily promote outsourcing to cheap labor countries-although the U.S providers they list are not much better.  

Getting screwed over in business is not pleasant. It happens to the best and brightest. Many of these bastards have gotten the fraud down to an art form that their lies fool even the smartest individuals. 

Do not get down on yourself-even if payback is impossible (which in some cases it literally is) be sure to learn from the experience and spot the signs  I may list some of the nasty providers I have encountered in a later blog post but for now stay safe and don't let the many crooked bastards loitering online get you down.

The danger of taking short cuts

I notice that a lot of businesses now more then ever are taking short cuts to make profits and meet "wall street" projections.  The buyer usually suffers. It can be as simple as the leading auction site being even more lax (if thats possible) on pirates and crooked con artists/businesses in order to collect final value fees and boost their bottom line, to tactically allowing people with bad intentions to exploit buyers that are facing difficult times, knowing that desperate people rarely spend the time to practice due diligence before dealing with a business selling and/or services.) 

It is scary to buy or trust many sources online-some questions I often ask is who are these people? are they trustworthy? Are they being paid to give "their opinion" on their experience with the business? Paying people to write "positive" things about a product, person, service, even government is common practice worldwide (including here in the U.S.) 

I am willing to bet that when myabuy.com about to be revamped and launched people used to crooked businesses and an utter lack of transparency will experience an utter breath of fresh air and start to ask the question-why the f**k am I settling for less from other sites. Why would I settle for low standards practiced by major auction sites, social networking sites that will readily let crooks, con men, and people with bad intentions run wild.

Now is not the time to settle-when you see the new and revamped myabuy.com (coming very soon) you will not have to anymore.

Till then stay safe and don't settle for less.

Peace!
