Freebie trading, a controversial moneymaking ploy utilizes online forums, You Tube videos, personal websites and various other marketing techniques to drive traffic to web sites that advertise a variety products and trial offer in exchange for a fee. Freebie trading differs from other kinds of affiliate marketing because it includes people who make an agreement to purchase products from these sites on one another’s behalf, for a cut of the commission that results in exchange.
Freebie trading has turned into a multimillion dollar industry these past few years in which people that work from home have the ability to earn incomes of as much as five thousand dollars a month. Because our economy is ridden with unemployment and underemployment, more people are choosing this business as a source of extra income.
Freebie trading starts with what is called an incentivized freebie website. Incentivized freebie websites are special sites with trial offers that include hundreds of different products, cash, and prizes such as iPhones, Xbox 360s and plasma TVs. Some well known businesses offer these incentives, but less reputable companies such as online psychic services can be found on these sites as well.
Incentivized freebie websites are not allowed to compensate you for trying their products that they advertise, but they are permitted to pay you to refer customers to them. In theory, the proceeds would be shared with your referrals. These commissions can span from forty dollars to one hundred and twenty dollars a customer.
On the other hand, critics still remain wary of freebie trading. Some critics are quick to point out that they are prompted to dish out a lot of personal information, perhaps too much. Problems arise when it comes to completing trades and obtaining payment. Also, if you sign up for trial offers then make the simple mistake of forgetting to cancel the ones that you don’t want, you could get stuck with charges on your credit card. Finally, some people say that they just haven’t reaped any money as a benefit, while others who manage to get money for their trades might find the whole process time consuming and tedious.

For some reason a gathering of mid-level bankruptcy professionals made it into the news recently. They met at a bar, some networked, others found new clients, and others just came for the fun. Sources reveal that all of the young executives were enjoying themselves very much.
Maybe one of the only industries flourishing in today’s economy; the corporate restructuring profession is experiencing an upswing. According to statistics, U.S. business bankruptcies climbed up to 38% in 2009 from the past year.
This increase prompted advisory firms into pumping up their practices with new “turnaround experts,” young lawyers who burn the midnight oil in order to handle the onslaught of bankruptcy cases. Established pros have without a doubt enjoyed a good company-approved networking outing; wine tastings, makeover and martinis groups, and golf are just a couple of examples. Unfortunately, this leaves only the less experienced attorneys to work at a desk into the night.
This was not the first get together like this. December marked the first gathering of the “Turnaround Underground” posse. Oops did I say posse? I meant gathering. Turnaround Underground gathering. Some attorneys came to network. A few attorneys came looking for love in all the wrong places. “You can meet your best friend here, meet your significant other here. This is not all about business” a starry eyed lawyer cooed. But some of the party-goers managed to leave work at work, loosening their ties and kicking up their feet.
Fashionably late, guests flooded the bar minutes after the gathering officially began at 7 pm in a classy New York City nightspot. Within 45 minutes, there were BlackBerrys, business suits, and beer as far as the eye could see. In fact, one rowdy attorney who wisely declined to be named was quoted as saying “Everything is better with beer.” All in all, it seems as though Turnaround Underground is a success.

More than 200 Scranton taxpayers might have been mailed a letter from a collection agency they didn’t deserve. The notices are for unpaid garbage fines that might have actually been paid. According to officials, the garbage bill itself for 2009 could be to blame for more than 200 collection notices that were sent to city taxpayers in error last week.
They believe the issue may have been the way that the bills were folded into the envelopes. The bill is mailed along with a perforated line above a bar code that identifies the customer, but because a crease created by the folding of the envelope, a second line under the bar code was formed, causing people to pull the bill off without the bar code.
Bills without a bar code would cause a bank not to register the payment. The mailing house that Scranton hired to stuff the envelopes was blamed. If the bill was mailed to the bank, it would be the pay stub in their payment that goes directly into a lock box. Then the stubs are scanned and the bar code is read. After that the bank sends the town a list of those who had come through based on the bar code readings.
Representatives from the collections company who sent out the letters say that they are taking every dispute from people who may have paid very seriously. Company protocol permits consumers to dispute a notice within 30 days of getting a collections letter. Additionally, representatives claimed that no bill will be collected while they are still sorting out the issue.
The company look into each claim from people who said they had paid the bill and received the notice. Those that they think have paid will be absolved from their debt and will no longer get collections notices and will not be pursued by the collection company.

Being able to locate a debtor’s bank account information could be very useful in your attempts to collect debt. By law, it is required that a private investigator to do the work. Be wary when you hire someone to locate bank account numbers as there are a number of scam companies claiming that they can help, and take your money with no activity in return.
Below are legal tactics that you can use to get a debtor’s bank account information.
If your debtor is employed by a retail store purchase something from the debtor and pay by check. This is a great technique that you can use to find out account information by looking at your own bank statement; the bank account information will allow you to determine the debtors account number.
Interactions with a previous landlord of the debtor has the capacity to be very fruitful. Ask his formal landlord. You can subpoena the old land lord for a copy of the rental application to see where the defendant banked. Because old habits die hard, it is likely that the debtor still uses the same bank account.
Consider serving a Business Record Subpoena on the employer in order to obtain a copy of a payroll check the debtor has cashed in. The check should have the defendant’s account number and possibly the name of the bank on the bank.
There are also more “colorful” ways to obtain information about a debtor’s bank account. Conduct a trash search. This is an effective way to obtain bank information and a way to get to know more than you ever wanted about this debtor.
An elaborate scheme to get the scoop on your debtor’s bank account is called “the fake block party.” Send post cards to everyone who lives on the debtor’s block, and put up signs directing traffic towards his house. The debtor may get block party fever and open his garage. Scope out his items and take inventory. He may even start to sell things. At this point, buy something and give them a check.
So there you go. All of this is legal, but my advice would be to look through trash and stage a block party last, because that seems kind of crazy.
