PSA - Stay Away From The Card Signup Farms Who Offer $5000 In One Month

[Dan]

i hate farms as much as anyone IF they're lying. There are others who are extremely Honest.

Are you saying there are farms that only do real spending?

[Dan]

yes but they have a lot less clients. I guess they are a mini farm. It can be very lucrative for someone to sign 50 people a year and figure out the spending all in a very simple straight up fashion. 

If you can do everything on the up and up then kol hakavod(e).
99% of these guys are not. Even if they claim they are.

I guess the Good Guys always get screwed.

The legit spending scares me the most.

So they buy 100s of k of inventory for some gesheft...

 Essentially the poor yeshiva guy is now lending 50+K on his SS to some random business with cash flow problems.. No security, transparency or anything.

You mean like a Borough Park backyard garden (the type that M.... wants to see in Lakewood)?

fair point. I guess it depends if they're just doing small amounts and sticking with personal cards..

i guess then im a farm i do it for some family and friends except i dont make money never screwed over any of them yet

[Dan]

boom. I have a feeling there are 10s of people like this. That's why I don't like the post.

That's not a farm.
The farms are large scale operations that advertise on websites, newspapers, and Twitter blasts.

Flipping through some posts and loling at how some here imply that what is posted on Ddf is somehow not public info...

It gets picked up by Google etc. Maybe not as much as ddms, but to post "don't write XYZ" on Ddf cuz Amex/FBI/chillul hashem etc. Will see is definitely silly...

I can't figure out exactly what happened. It's very possible there is another side to the story  if so it's incredibly wrong to write that against someone who people in Lakewood can figure out whom you're referring too. And no, I am not hosting a parlor meeting tonight 🙄🙄

Why? If he's a ganev let him be publicized.

Assuming that someone is a thief without hearing their side of the story or even a coherent version of the other side is wrong. Publicizing their info on such allegations without being properly indicted would be despicable.

I agree, it was very hard to figure out what actually happened from that post. Putting out a warning like Dan's is one thing, publicly outing someone as a thief is another thing altogether if you haven't actually heard a clear story from both sides.

[teetle]

I agree with D. Smith, i think he talks on behalf of a lot of us who do it honestly and are getting screwed with this post.

Ok as usual I am confused. Can someone give the phone # of one of these farms that advertise and does legitimate spend?

Scr*wed by the post?

From the posts above it seems that those who do honest spending don't advertise, and are being called farmers due to the nature of the enterprise.
