Making money moves.

[TheWorldNewsOrg]

Would-be e-commerce entrepreneurs should take note of recent lawsuits that Amazon and Washington state’s attorney general have filed against a major seller of “business opportunities” that allegedly help people make loads of money selling goods on Amazon.com. The suits allege that two brothers who live in Massachusetts engaged in deceptive marketing and sales practices by promising that their company, FBA Stores, LLC, would enable sellers to make tens of thousands of dollars (for one hour of work a day, natch). The brothers offered webinars and in-person seminars, where they’d aggressively market—wait for it—more coaching and seminars, including a $20,000 "Master Mentor" program!
