        Alas, I'm totally serious.  The "independent sales" positions and 
the target market jibe with some actual scams I have encountered recently 
in my lawyer role.  And yeesh, look at this site.

        "Joe E. Bennett, our president, chief software engineer and equity 
trader has been developing software since 1986, first using BASIC, then 
Pascal on PCs running MS-DOS."  Well, buddy, I was writing code in BASIC 
and Pascal years before you, but that doesn't make me a software 
engineer.  And equity trader?  What a combination.

        Offices in Raleigh and Las Vegas.  Hmmn.  The latter is consistent 
with the day trading aspect, at least.

        The scams I have encountered involve selling a cookie-cutter 
website at a high price to small businesses and individuals.  The deal 
usually involves a contract hosting for several years.  The payment is 
monthly, but accomplished through financing from a third party.  The 
scamsters generate a receivable for the third party, pocket the cash, and 
the "lender" collects the money -- at credit card interest rates.  If 
you're unhappy, you can't quit paying because you've already paid in 
advance and the "lender" has nothing to do with the folks that sold you the 
site.

        In all honesty, it doesn't look like this guy is currently taking 
that approach.  But I wouldn't be surprised ....
