On August 27, 2001 I purchased the Don Lapre making money package after seeing his infomercial on TV. The half hour program said that thousands of dollars could be made in the 1-900 call line information business. All you have to do is put tiny classified ads in newspapers, he showed checks for thousands of dollars and bank statements. There were people that swore it was that easy to make money doing this.

So in Nov of 2001 I called Universal Business Strategies and ordered the Date Line, Chat Line, Confessions Line, Sports & Entertainment Line and Internet Secrets Line. Then in early 2002 I also ordered the Sports Equipment Web Site and the Bio-Threat Line. In all, I have spent over $17,000.00 Dollars on these 900 lines & Fitness Sites.

Then I started my ad campaign, placing my tiny classified ads in newspapers all over the USA and on the internet. To this date I have spent over $2,200 dollars in advertising in papers. I have also made hundreds of flyers and business cards to distribute to shopping malls, collages, libraries and where ever I thought would be a great place to advertise. I have also spent hundreds of hours on the internet and driving trying to promote this business. To this date I have made absolutely “NOTHING" ($0.00) .
