The School for Scamsters
by Charles Selden on November 10, 2011 in Categories, Consumerist Takeaway
If you can’t beat them, be a consultant. $F$ My epiphany moment came today. There it was, dollar signs shining in the sky. Intelligent Design at work, but I too insensitive to see a Higher Purpose guiding my research into techno scams: Be a techno scam consultant, dummy!

by Charles Selden on November 9, 2011 in Consumerist Takeaway, Words Matter

OBAMA THROWS WARREN UNDER THE BUS
by Charles Selden on July 18, 2011 in Newsmakers
Financial Services Industry Protected From Consumers Whew! It was a close call. The financial services industry almost got the regulator they feared the most: Elizabeth Warren as Chief of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB). She could have been the end of financial services as we know it and are abused by it. She wanted […]

DO NOT CALL Does Not Work
by Charles Selden on April 27, 2011 in Consumerist Takeaway
DO NOT CALL was once the promising child of the Federal Trade Commission. By now the FTC should be sued for lack of child support. The DNC Registry has been turned into a defenseless database ignored from 8AM to 9PM by auto-dialers, scamsters and telemarketers. Less than 10 years ago, DNC was promoted as the […]
