Default Re: WARNING! Be cautious....

Hi Dien,

I appreciate your reponse to my question and I am still researching the best ezines to advertise in for the least investment.

I also appreciate your honesty and you taking the time to research our company. However, our company is not a scam! This is also not a get rich quick program(scam)!We offer payment for real work! You really do have to work and put forth effort in order to see results as you would in any other business venture. We are a members of BIB(Better Internet Bureau). And we proudly stand behind and support all of our members.

We are a direct response Marketing Company. We are hired by various companies both on and off of the Internet to design & implement Ad Campaigns for them. Ad Placement provides a great service to our clients. By them not having to place Ads themselves, this allows them to concentrate on the sales end of their business.

I have had a great experience with CJ Holdings as have many others. I do not have scanner to scan my checks, however another member has done so and you can see the type of income generated from real work at: http://members.tripod.com/obxgirl/id21.htm

I am sorry you feel the way you do but it is understandable with so many unrealistic opportunities on the net today!

Again, I appreciate your input!

Thanks, JBW
