I am outraged!! How not to get investors!!!

**n/a** · 09-10-2008 09:06 AM

I log into YE forums and look to see if I have any private messages. I see that I have one. I think to myself oohhh goody I might have a future client to do design work for. This is what I end up getting instead. The subject line was titled "hey buddy!" Already I am a bit mad because I dont know who this person is and they are calling me buddy.

This was my response to him. Harsh I know but necessary.

YOUR AN INSULT TO THIS COMMUNITY! HOW DARE YOU send me a private message asking that I be an investor. for many reasons.

a.) I am not a SIR I am a ma'am
b.) Do you even know I have money to invest?
c.) The quality of investors you will get using this method will not be the most reliable.
d.) your target marketing strategy is simply wrong and you will waste a lot of time using this method.
e.) How do you expect me to respond when I dont even know what I would be investing in!!

Make sure this is the last time you message me. I am posting this on the forum for the rest of the world to see. I dont want anyone else to be offended like I was.

Why I was soooo offended I have no clue. But I felt like I should share this frustration because my private message box will not be filled with crap like this ever again!

I got that same crap in my PM box. This guy knows absolutely nothing when it comes to approaching investors...as he has shown us in a few of his posts...and he's spamming our PM boxes.
Seeking motivated entrepreneurs
Looking for Investments

And he needs to learn proper English and spelling...

Wow, never seen someone have such a pissy fit over an idiot spammer before.

Are you familiar with the term "self control" ?

oh you should see how I react when someone emails me spam when I post an Item for sale on criegslist. They try to get you to send the item and basically scam you. I have a HUGE hissy fit because no one scams me. If you waste my time I will waste yours.

Its time to show spammers we mean business.

Heart disease is the number one killer of females. I mention this because the way you're going, you'll have a heart attack by the time you're middle aged by letting all these scammers get to you like that. The stress alone will do you in. Life has enough stress. There are simply too many of them and not enough of you to go medieval on every single one of them.
