| From "The Down Button"* |
The more that consumers, legitimate investors (e.g. human beings), and those -- as defined by the business community "burdensome" -- regulators cry for more light on business transactions, the global business community responds with its typical "piss up a rope," going deeper under cover in all aspects of their dealings.
Ergo, with the introduction of another formal term Nom de Escroquerie for the practitioners, we've come up with yet-another "yet-another" acronym, which we're rolling out as a Double Dip article today.
"YABA" stands for "Yet Another Business Alias."
For the benefit of those less advanced in years than some of us, there was a time when business was done in communities, by people who who were a part of the community. Yes, we know you think that this is B.S. something that never really happened because YOU never saw it on television. But it's true.
And to kick off YABA we're introducing Nom de Escroquerie (look it up, if you're on this page we know you have Google) for all of the little grubsnots in south Florida who devote thousands of hours looking for new ways to get elderly people to give them credit card numbers over the telephone.
We have an actual recording of a "lawyer" in a final attempt to close one of these deals and get a credit card number with this phrase... (we may actually add this recording to a post at a later date after the legal research is complete. Apparently Florida has some laws regarding phone recording to protect these parasites, but this guy KNEW he was talking to a recorder.)
"This is [redacted] Come on, be a man and call me back."
Be a man? Now That's Salemanship!
