BYU Dean Warns Students About Moneymaking Scheme; Better Business Bureau Also Concerned LAST UPDATE: 2/3/2006 1:28:34 AM A new "get rich quick" scheme has reached Utah. It promises a 44% return on your investment in just 12 days. That kind of return is potentially attracting thousands of Utahns, including some students at Brigham Young University in Provo. Cards that advertise the "12dailypro" plan are being spread over the campus -- even at the Marriott School of Business. That prompted this warning from Dean Ned C. Hill: "Dear Marriott School Students, It has come to our attention that you may be approached by people wanting you to participate in and even distribute information about illegal and unethical “money making” schemes. Advertisements have been found in the Tanner Building and other places on the BYU campus promising, for example, “Earn 44% Every 12 Days.” This and other similar schemes are most likely “Ponzi schemes” named after the famous Charles Ponzi. They rely on the gullibility of people who are anxious to get rich quickly and who don't understand the basic economic principles of risk and return. No true economic investment could promise to yield 44% in 12 days. Perhaps a few initial investors will receive such a return (from their own investments and others’ investments) but later investors will find there are not enough gullible people to perpetuate the scheme. Those later investors will loose everything. Ponzi schemes are now illegal. Other schemes invite participants into gambling activities. Again, only a few participants achieve a positive return and most are certain to lose what they invest. Both activities—Ponzi schemes and gambling—are counter to the values we embrace at BYU and in the Marriott School. They are a violation of our commitment to the Honor Code. Students found to be participating in these schemes—especially those who disseminate them—are in danger of being expelled from the Marriott School and the university. I realize that very few of you involve yourselves with such foolishness. But since the consequences may be severe for your classmates who spend their time on such matters, we thought it necessary to alert all of you to the problem." The Director of the Better Business Bureau of Utah is also concerned. "We're very concerned about what's going on," says Jane Driggs. "The company is actually located out of Charlotte, North Carolina. They're operating out of an apartment building which isn't in a great neighborhood ... it's somebody operating out of a spare bedroom." The parent company is Lifelicks LLC, and was incorporated in September of 2005. Ms. Charis Johnson is listed as the "administrator" on corporate papers filed with the state of North Carolina. Attempts to contact her by phone and at the apartment have apparently failed. Driggs' advice to people asking about Lifeclicks and 12dailypro, "Definitely use caution. It's a high risk. You're probably going to lose your money." The Utah Division of Consumer Protection is aware of 12dailypro, but has received no consumer complaints. Story by: Brent Hunsaker

I am posting information as I find it, as I said I would. I have seen the site this video is on, and I tried to view it. Unfortunately, I was not able to get it to load. My guess is that a lot of people are trying to watch it, and the server is over taxed. However, I am continuing to try to view it. I posted that link because another Adland member shared it with me and asked me to post it to my forum, because it is on topic. Since I said I'd keep posting information as I receive it, I posted that link when I got it. Get off your self-righteous soapbox Manuel. If you don't have anything to contribute, why do you keep posting? If you are not interested in being a constuctive part of this forum, why do you bother visiting it? As far as being you posting something before me, and giving me crap about it, I have news for you... not everyone here at Adland Pro reads YOUR forum! Furthermore, many ALP members have posted those two links. That is a good thing too, because it ensures the likelihood that all members will see it. And by the way, I am not competing with you, so why are you bashing me? If you have something relevant, and appropriate to contribute, then by all means, post it, but if you are just going to continue to slam me, do it in your own forum.
