My Single Mom Life

I don't like it when people try to pull the wool over my eyes intentionally, or claiming ignorance, that they didn't mean to beat around the bush, so to speak.
The economy is in the crapper, we all know it, it shows signs of wanting to get better, the DOW has been slowing climbing, but millions of people are still out of work, many more are still losing their jobs, homes, cars, etc.
I mean, what kind of crazy is it that a car company is advertising a "deal" that if you lease a car from them and lose your job in any time during the lentgh of the lease, that they will let you out of the lease, no questions asked, no money owed on the contract?
Yeah, it's kinda crazy, scary economic times.

So yeah, I don't like it when people try to get me with stuff.
I received an email in the wee hours of the morning, I was still awake, (still am too) and it was a very brief email offering me nothing at all in the way of information other than an opportunity for me and my blog readers, and other single moms, we'd all be helping each other.
I'm always on the lookout for my fellow single moms, and the email was very brief, the person wanted to set up a time to speak with me by phone, so my skeptic alarms are going off already ya know?
Any time someone says something like opportunity and speak by phone in the same sentence, you can pretty much bet on it that money will be involved, either them wanting to sell you something, or get you to sell something.
So I emailed back a very detailed list of questions that I wanted answered before I agreed to any kind of phone call about this way to help my single mom readers.

The reply I got back was just as short as the first, and just as I had suspected, it was an opportunity for "affordable life coaching for women".
You can either be the person needing the coaching for a monthly fee which goes from $19 per month, $39 per month, and $59 per month, I almost needed some adult diapers when I read those fees for it, or you can be the one selling these monthly life coaching packages to other women on commission.

I had asked about 10 very specific questions, none of them were answered in the reply, not a single one.
That upset me greatly, it was a waste of my time to even write out those questions even though the first email they sent said that if I had any questions, to ask.
I don't like having the wool pulled, and I don't like having my time wasted.
But the person did include in the second email, a link to their site, and from there, I found a link to the site for the life coaching.
I had to click around to find the information that this person should have told me.
If they were looking to make money, they should have at least answered my questions.
I know they probably do their best work verbally, and that's why they wanted to pitch to me by phone, but I never give out my phone number to anyone I don't know, first of all, and second, until I know why I'm giving out my number, I need to know why my time is about to be spent on the phone.

After getting the second useless email, having to go searching for the information myself, I was kind of irritated.
I really felt that my time was wasted by someone who is obviously wanting to make money either by selling these coaching packages, or by getting a commission for getting new sellers to sign up, yet they offered me absolutely nothing in the way of information about this supposed grand thing that they wanted me to post about here on my blog for my readers, and really push it to my single mom readers.

I wrote back after that second email and having to spend time to learn what it was all about, how irritated I was, and what a crappy job they had done trying to sell this to me, probably wanting to sell me a life coach package, and also getting me to post about it on my site for free for them, and even after my semi-scathing email, they still had the nerve to ask me to post a link to their main website.

That pretty much appalled me, and I'm so steamed at this point, that I have not even replied to that email.
I can't.
If I do, every word I type will be every not-so-nice word that I know of.
It would be a very ugly email, and even Great-Gram who has said some pretty vile words in her days, would probably fall over dead reading the words I want to say to this woman.
She wasted my time.
She didn't answer a single question I asked, yet wanted to sell me, and get me to sell, her product for her.
And then she had the nerve to ask for another free link to her site.
Yeah, not a happy Kat right at the moment.
