Posted on 08. May, 2009 by $haz in Free Lunch Room, Leo Shimizu, Leo Shimizu and Free Lunch Room
This will be a continuing segment that uncovers the truth of everything Leo Shimizu says so that members of the “freebie community” are not mistaken or fooled. Every segment and other information can be found in the Leo Shimizu/Free Lunch Room Scam page.
Welcome to the very first post of our new “Uncovering Leo Shimizu’s Posts” segment. I’m very delighted you could join me today in uncovering the truth behind Leo Shimizu’s god-like posts. Lets start off by sharing with you what Leo Shimizu has said recently in this thread:

I love that some people are spending time and energy to talk about us (even if it is negative) because for me, they aren’t worth my time, but I am worth their time I guess. I think it is self-destructive to present yourself like that and behave in the way some banned site owners are behaving. Hilarious.
Alright, so that statement has a bunch of misconceived notions in it. Let’s break it down shall we?
Site owners that have been banned are angry at themselves because they know they messed up and are going to miss out on the huge amount of money they could’ve made.
No, we are not angry at ourselves at all. If anything, we love ourselves. What we were angry about is the fact that Leo Shimizu is trying to tell us how to run our business by demanding that we use certain affiliates (yes the affiliates who have paid Leo Shimizu) or else we would get banned. Leo Shimizu is jeopardizing the security of his Free Lunch Room members by making site owners use affiliates who have horrible crediting, revoke many leads for no reason, and participate in very shady business practices. By the way, we are not missing out on anything, in fact we are gaining much more. Once Free Lunch Room users realize that Leo Shimizu have no other forms of traffic they will no longer back him.
All the banned sites came to me and wanted to be back on the forum.
False. I know for a fact that RocketBills, MacroBucks, and SwiftRewards did not come back to Leo Shimizu wanting to be back on the forum. We actually came back to tell Leo Shimizu that he is very wrong for banning us. I don’t play games Leo Shimizu, you should never make one of my companies look bad for no logical reason. Leo Shimizu should stop trying to make it seem like we are begging to be back on Free Lunch Room, because we’re not at all, and Leo Shimizu should not be giving his members falsified information.
In fact they are so outraged that their strategy is to bad mouth me and FLR because if they can’t have FLR, no one can have FLR…I guess. I love that some people are spending time and energy to talk about us (even if it is negative) because for me, they aren’t worth my time, but I am worth their time I guess. I think it is self-destructive to present yourself like that and behave in the way some banned site owners are behaving. Hilarious.
I’ll admit I was pretty pissed off when Leo Shimizu initially banned me, but an hour later I was calm and made it my duty to reveal all the truths about Leo Shimizu so that no Free Lunch Room members are misinformed. I’m actually not spending much energy trying to talk about Leo Shimizu because all the information I need to uncover Leo Shimizu has already been provided to me by many, many people. Leo Shimizu is not worth my time at all, but the security of Free Lunch Room members is. If this is self-destructive then so be it, if anyone is going to destroy Shaz, it will be Shaz himself and not Leo Shimizu. And you want to know what’s really hilarious? The fact that I found great information about Leo Shimizu scamming incentive companies such as Transcendent Innovations and Order4Free back in his wee Purdue University days.
Yeah that information will be all released soon enough, I suggest everyone Subscribing to this blog for all the soon to come details on Leo Shimizu!
This wraps up our first segment of “Uncovering Leo Shimizu’s Post!” If any of have any more of his posts and want to know the real story behind them, please do comment below and I will do my best to answer them truthfully!

Very interesting analysis of his post Shaz.
I know you must be really annoyed by the whole saga and want to show everyone how Leo’s business practices work but don’t stop posting your other interesting posts which makes this blog so good!
Just a tip!
Hope all is well

I agree, I will do my best. There is so much to uncover about him that it will take so many posts to get it all out. Thanks for reading!

“All the banned sites came to me and wanted to be back on the forum.”
lol
nobody has gone to leo asking to come back.
there’s really not much going on FLR — they get no more traffic than the other forums — so i’m not sure why he thinks we’re all heartbroken over not being at FLR.
but it just goes to show that *everything* that comes off that man’s keyboard is BS.

Yeah, I don’t quite remember going back for my subforum :-p
Leo is in his own world, he’s going to read this and just shrug it off as untrue. LOL I think it’s one of those cases where someone has lied so much they’ve convinced themselves the lies are real.
For the record, there is absolutely nothing wrong with him monetizing his business, it’s just the way he did it. If Leo came to site owners at some point, did an announcement and said ALL site owners pay $X a month or year as an advertising/marketing expense towards FLR, how many would have complained? Not many. Instead, he came to us separately, harassing many of us, and charging amounts differently. His next bad move? To pick up crappy affiliate networks for monetary gain that NO ONE seems to like much at all. This is a bit too much control, it really gets in the way of OUR businesses – but how many would complain if Leo came to us with the awesome affiliate networks we generally use and said, please use these networks if you can guys, they paid me money as a form of trust and I place my stamp on them. Not many… would it be right? still questionable (and only if FLR was getting traffic like it used to).
Unfortunately, Leo is going to make a great forum/community drown the more he lies and lies to himself.

I can’t stand this guy, I think I’ve made my mind up, time to start laying the blueprint for my own freebie forum. Now I just need to set aside $500-$1,000 (serious business calls for serious money) to get it up and going. Trust me, no need to worry about the bullshit like they do over to FLR.

Anything4free, Calistyle, The Freebie Exchange, Freebie Society, there are so many I can’t even think of.

I love the fact that Leo accepted us onto his forum not even a week ago and decided to update us a mere couple of days later telling us we are not allowed to be members of FLR. We are a new site and the misleading notions that Leo puts up does not make us happy, no sir.
Good work Shaz,
I Love you

I’ve been a member of FLR nearly a year and I’m about fed up with Leo’s ongoing promises to bring in new traffic. Just how stupid does he think people are? His latest post on the most recently banned sites states he does not want any negative comments posted about this on the thread…he’s bordering on dictator ship in my opinion. People are to afraid to speak out for fear of getting banned on his forum. He also states we are welcome to trade those sites on other forums but honestly who has the time to set up and run multiple threads on multiple forums. I’ve donated to his forum, paid to get FLR verified and most recently spent $75 for a 3 day sticky with 0 results. In my opinion also there he’s had no right to even keep selling those stickies with virtually 0 traffic coming in over the past 3-4 months. I think people have wisened up there though as he’s now “generously” having “no sticky days” I believe that’s only because not enought people are throwing their money away and he can’t fill all the slots!

Spread the word of his tactics to all your Free Lunch Room friends.

I had him pegged quite some time ago, but after reading the message between Leo and SwiftRewards, and Leo’s BS in the FLR forum, I knew for sure. I never advertised for another ref at FLR.
MacroBucks is right that there is nothing wrong with him monetizing his business. It was the way that he did it. Not only was he unfair and unethical to the site owners, but those of us choosing sites deserved to know that the “legit” ones were there because of a payoff and not because they were necessarily the best sites.
What bothers me is not the people who know, but need to ease out of FLR because they need the money, but the people who know and still suck up to Leo and Glad too.

Only way to let the world know is to spread the word. Let all your contacts from Free Lunch Room know about this!
