These are tough times. Even flimflammers want to hire us. Usually, flimflammers need no help selling flimflam. Yet in the past month alone we kicked out three from our office even as they tried to slither in. 

Their products are legal, although “not illegal” says it better. Anyone cursed with a conscience knows that “not illegal” is a far cry from “perfectly OK.” 

Don’t feel bad for them. They will have no trouble finding and hiring a capable direct marketer. Either one who doesn’t dig deep enough to see that the products are flimflam, or one who doesn’t care. 

We are keeping our doorstep clear for legitimate companies with legitimate products. I am pleased to report that one came a-calling today. Take that, Recession!
