Box Monthly? Scam?

[zadidoll]

Oh geeze. Not again. Hopefully she learned her lesson from last time. IF she's now located in NY then I hope she has a business license in NY as well as a Dept of Revenue license since NY is one of those states that REQUIRES sales tax to be collected which is why Sample Society charges a tax as does Glossybox. (Birchbox does not because I think they built that into the cost of the boxes).

I personally just think it should not be re opened; I think people have dealt with enough scams lately lol

Zadi, it doesn't look like it. She is using those awful on home printed stickers and still has the confusing website

I like how she is writing an ebook, too. Like writing an ebook is any different than writing a book in general. I wonder if she realizes that....you still have to write a book!

If you scroll down she lists other monthly box companies that are available as well. Don't really know why as wouldn't a company just try to sell their own stuff on their own page?! 

Then there's this:

Thin Mint - Here you spend $19.95 a month and get a box of chocolate covered mint cookies and the money is donated to the girl scouts. (OK, I made this one up. ) It does come in a box, but ask the girl scouts when they are in front of your local supermarket begging with their moms and don’t eat the whole box or you won’t fit into the Intimints.

Would it be fair to say, 'If you can't do, teach'?

I'm not so sure I would want her book for $5 or free even.

Her book is prob not writed that good, ya know.

Here is a writing from her site and not the book itself.

If this is like her wroted styles, then no good....

" I loved the Night Food Bars. Got me right to sleep. I bought two boxes. Bought one got one free. You can get buy items on their website.

I know my own writing was quite bad on porpoise (lol).

Maybe she thinks that writing a "e book" you do not need a proof reader?

Also, with her advertising so much crap on her own site, why does anyone want her box.

Holy. Sh*t.

I'm seeing this site for the very first time evah ~ please, please, PLEASE tell me it wasn't this bad at the beginning.

I *think* she's listing all those sub box descriptions in some sort of sad way to either market her own sub (as in, "See? I've included MY box with these other totally legitimate boxes so I HAVE to be realz, too!") or to demonstrate that she knows what a sub box at least looks like (and is therefore qualified to write a book on the topic).
