 		I'm Out, Nice To Know You
Just a little note to say goodbye to all !

I have recieved about 20 emails over the past two days, each one telling me not to buy into "certain scam" that is flooding these forums.
The messages come from a dead email account and show up as INVALID_SYNTAXSPLATERROR.com.

I have been feeling funny about this whole thing since last night, and this morning I realized that to me, there are more reasons not to "play" as there are to play.

1) Marcs' statement that it is rare for anyone to engage transport before 30 days (right after the money back guarantee ends) bothered me.
2) The description of TELEPORT as an "easy to use" product. If it were that easy, why don't we get more clues or help.
3) The fact that we are constantly told that this is "NOT" a game.
4) It seems that Acheron may start up soon, so I am going to divert my attention there, since I KNOW that it is and ARG.

nice to get to know all yous' people, I may check in to say Hi every so often. See you all in Acheron !

P.S. I am not accusing Marc, RedKore, or anyone else of anything, this is my own personal decision.

interesting.

also, please note that it is difficult to run a successful scam with a money back guarantee.

the statement was as follows:

hi Griffin.

it would be unusual for a person to successfully engage transport within 30 days of receiving his/her trip.

however, you should know within that period whether TELEPORT is something worth exploring.

we provide sufficient help.

the system requires a certain degree of effort on the part of the individual.

too many "clues" would prove distracting.

it is perhaps easier than your realize.

jayepmills wrote:

correct, it is not a game.

this has been clearly stated from the outset.

if you are looking for a game, this is not for you.

if you are looking for a game, it probably makes sense to stick with a game.

 		Marc.

EIther this is a scam(which I donīt really care if it is, i have something to do on my spretime, fine with me Cool )

But this has to BE remote viewing!
You talk about, giving us to many clues will eather confuse us more etc. But the fact is, if you have too muchg informatioen givem in RV, you will eiather need a AOL break or You recieve too much information which can be real bad.

The trip can be like the expereince you get with RV, feel things, see some specifik, but too much information or to much disturbing things will make you fail.

Access, maybe stage IV of RV? You can go to the coordinates, see the place, feel it, smell it, touch it, and interact abit.


This has to be Remote viewing Mad
You said in some post before that remote viewing had some influence in this, or some sort Smile

Uhmmm, not to critizie or anything why would it be hard to do that ?
It would be simple for you to just ignore all "refund questions" and live happily with all "new punters" that fall for your "scam"...

Also it would be pretty simple to just take the VISA/AmEx card data and just ripp them off (withdraw a few hundred dollars) and not sending anything. Then haning around using various aliases claiming "you" got the shipments to make sure new punters arise etc...

Not that I hope you are doing anything of the above but it would be simple for you to do it, especialy as alot of us are from Sweden and trying to sue you afterwards would be quite hard...

Anyways, gonna figure out how many of my friends wanted the card so I can get my order over to you so I get my cards before i leave for japan...

if we ripped someone off, they would post a message here and elsewhere, word would quickly spread, and we would go out of business.

i could say the same for any business which takes credit card payments.

but anyway, the statement above still applies. even if we delayed things a little bit to make extra $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$, it wouldn't take long for someone to post a message regarding the evil red kore scam artists, etc.

and by the way, if someone makes illegal charges to your credit card, you're not obliged to pay for them.

so you're not concerned that we might rip you off?

Noi, i understand the concerns.

as far as providing credit card information, i guess a certain amount of trust is required. if you don't trust us, don't provide your information.

as far as uncertainty regarding the product...well, i don't really know what to say. perhaps people just need to take a little "risk" and try it out. if it's cool, great. if it's crap, just return it.

Are you serious about these emails? I'm curious to here more about them. Can you get any of the header information and post it over here so we can take a look?

How odd.

Have to admit, Jay.. i'm gonna miss you! I wish you weren't going. But you have to make your own choices.

Good luck to you.. i'll see you in Acheron.

as always.. Happy Hunting.

Yes I just said it was a posibility. Not that you did it...

Which is why alot of people dont like to buy things from the internet.


redkore wrote:

No... Not realy. (I hope Smile)

But seriously I didn't say you did rip people off neither that I belived you did. I only stated the fact that you could easily do. (but as you so eloquently (spelling? (yes Im also from sweden so pick on my spelling Smile )) put it so can pretty much everyone else I buy from over the internet.

I for one think that if this was a ripp-off Its so well performed and so well reasearched and have given me such a great time looking around for possibilities that it would be well worth it...

So no Im not very afride you'll rip me off... (i hope Smile)
