Leo Shimizu’s Paranoia Kicks In – Mass Ban Free Lunch Room Members

Leo Shimizu’s Paranoia Kicks In – Mass Ban Free Lunch Room Members

Posted on 20. May, 2009 by $haz in Leo Shimizu, Leo Shimizu and Free Lunch Room

You guys smell that? Smells like fear… Smells like paranoia… Smells like Leo Shimizu is falling apart. Leo made a post today that has shocked many of his Free Lunch Room members and might have actually added to his horrible reputation instead of help. First I want to thank the user who pointed this post out to me on the “Leo Shimizu, “Administrator” At Free Lunch Room, Scams Transcendent Innovations And Order4Free” post. I love getting heads up from his own members, makes me feel like people are actually realizing how Leo Shimizu really is.

Anyway, here is his post on Free Lunch Room. Here is the screen shot of his post (in case he deletes it, which he even said he was planning to do. I’ll explain a later on in this post). I’m just going to break down a lot of what he says in the post and some other key things I noticed from the responses he receives and gives.

A few site owners were banned a few weeks ago and a couple kicked and screamed on their way out. Just a quick explanation of what many people missed out in reading the decision we made. We’re making a business decision where we’re about to devote tons of resources into FLR and if we have sites that are counterproductive and not supporting FLR, they’re stealing our traffic from those who have supported us. Those site owners that support us are going to make it possible for us to bring traffic to this site, those who don’t are causing the opposite. Those site owners that have been removed missed out and got lazy to take advantage of creating a business relationship with FLR. This is the perspective you need to see FLR’s decision-making from. Otherwise you’re not thinking in the best interest of FLR.

Leo, cut the bullshit. You have no “resources.” You HAD resources but you clearly messed up those opportunities by letting the money get to your head. No one “got lazy” and “missed out,” if anything we gained much more knowledge about your past business tactics while keeping true to ours. Just because we didn’t want you to tell us how to run our companies, like I mentioned in my first post, doesn’t mean we “got lazy.”

Must he keep lying to his members? Are we not thinking in the best interest of Free Lunch Room, or is Leo Shimzu just thinking in the best interest of himself? I mean he is the same person who lied about a person’s family getting murdered just so he can scam Transcendent Innovations and Order4free (oh you can read about that here).

I need certain things to happen outside of FLR so when FLR starts its traffic intake, we are in the best situation possible.

Outside of Free Lunch Room huh? I wonder why he doesn’t elaborate on these “outside” things. I wouldn’t be surprised if he tries to sell Free Lunch Room and leave all you members hanging.

For example, I waited to post this update until PPD finally sent out their e-mail to announce A4F’s new mentorship badges. Well why did I have to wait until this e-mail was sent out? Well the obvious answer is that I wanted to confirm that they were committing themselves to that infrastructure. I am in the loop for what is going on in the industry but obviously I like to double check and confirm other people’s moves before I make my own.

Let me state this again, Leo Shimizu is no way “in the loop” of anything that goes on in the incentive industry. No one outside of freebie forums knows anything about Leo Shimizu. He is nothing, nada, zlich. I’m fairly confident that Leo found out about the Project Payday and Anything4Free “badge” thing the same time as everyone else did. I love how he claims to know everything and act like he’s a big part of what goes on in the incentive industry, I wonder if he thinks he played a big part in electing our new President also?

There are other strategic reasons that I won’t disclose but I wanted to use this as an example of how other outside factors affect the greenlighting of FLR’s new traffic sources. But as the title says, we are getting closer and I’m just waiting on a few more things to make sure FLR is going to be the best freebie trading forum out there. (If you don’t know what PPD or A4F is, you’re not alone and it’s irrelevant to the issue so don’t worry.)

Only one thing I have to say for this:

For those of you with a trade record of 50 or higher, you can nominate a user to get banned if you believe they shouldn’t be given the privilege of being on FLR. All you need to do is send me a PM with the person you are nominating and three quotes that you deem to be hateful and demeaning. Please note that I don’t want people being reported for being critical or criticizing FLR. Intelligent and well articulated discussions will never be counted against you. However, hateful, smartass, or just plain ignorant remarks are welcome.

Wow… Are… You… Serious. Has my blog paranoid you this much? So much that you want to ban your own users? And to make yourself look like the innocent person, you tell your members to report these “negative” users, ultimately turning everyone against each other? Is this a new low for you Leo Shimizu?

These quotes do not need to be from FLR, they can be from other forums, blogs, even blog responses count.

Hahahahahaha. Hahahahaha. That one cracked me up. I can’t wait to get all the Free Lunch Room member traffic to my blog, eagerly searching people to rat out.

Let’s be very clear; I’m not doing this because I take things personally. If I did, then this entire process would done by me. If you are one of the people that get reported and get banned, please understand that you weren’t banned because you hurt my feelings or because you were critical of us. Maybe you are simply getting banned because you have no ability to think for yourself or investigate something. Maybe you are getting banned because you have a lemming like disability of following others. Maybe you are getting banned because you aren’t able to articulate yourself well. But one thing is for sure: you are getting banned because other users believe that FLR would be better without you than with you.

Or maybe they are getting banned because Free Lunch Room members realize that Leo Shimizu is a scammer? Maybe they are getting banned because Free Lunch Room members realize that Leo has given his members false hopes about traffic? Maybe they are getting banned because Free Lunch Room member’s realize the lies he tells to cover up the truth? Maybe, just maybe.

Since I don’t actually want to waste my time looking through the garbage that is out there, those of you that nominate and actually get a user banned will receive a free sticky date when FLR starts up its traffic sources.

Smart move by Leo Shimizu. Offering to give his members something they all want and need. I hope most of them realize that it’s not worth the free sticky if you are going to give up your morals. On top of that, why would you want a free sticky with no traffic? Will Free Lunch Room members choose morality or greed? The world might never know, but I sure as hell have a hunch that most of them will choose greed.

Rest assured that isn’t what is going to happen. We’ll just be removing people that 1) existing users don’t feel like they deserve to be here or 2) clearly doesn’t want to be on FLR. (postscreen shot)

Nah, Leo Shimizu is removing people who are realizing how he really is and actually speaking out against him. Sorry Leo, but I’ll make sure they get their opinions and thoughts voiced here. And I’m pretty sure a lot of your Free Lunch Room members visit my blog to check out all the dirt I have on you so banning your members won’t help you much.

Now here’s what I’ve noticed a lot about Free Lunch Room members; there are mainly two types of them. Here is the  type A:

Boosielou: Come on man

You mean to tell me that with the traffic being as low as it has been lately, the only kind of update you could give was a way to motivate members to vote others off of flr. You should not even play this kind of game and to offer a reward for voting someone off. How about you give away a free sticky to members without the sick little game of voting members off. Who can say that another member doesnt deserve to be here? You guys have let alot of people down whether you want to own up to it or not but yet the best you can do is bribe members vote other members off. I guess this way, traffic can continue to decrease and at that time you can blame it on the members for voting each other off for the sake of a sticky.

You claim to be intelligent so how about just find something meaningful to offer your members for sticking with you through this slow time even though it is completely optional to be here but they all stayed here hoping things get better but this kind of stuff is all you could come up with as an update. (postscreen shot)

And here is the type B:

Monksmom: I, for one, am very, VERY glad to see this thread.

Thank you…you’ve no idea how excellent this is to read/know. (postscreen shot)

Want to know the difference between them? Well, “Boosielou” is the type of member that realizes Leo Shimizu’s tactics of scam and deceit. She is speaking out against him and his actions around Free Lunch Room. She is the type of member that makes me proud because I see that she sticks up for what she believes in. Even though I’m pretty sure Leo Shimizu will ban her, she is not afraid to voice her opinions, something I can’t say for a majority of the Free Lunch Room members.

“Monksmom” is the type of user that sees Leo Shimizu as a god. She does not think for herself and believes that everything that comes out of Leo’s mouth should be one of the commandments that everyone should abide by. She is the type of user that I believe will come on my blog to rat out other users. Yeah I’m being a little too harsh, but I say what I think/feel. Click the X on the top right if you don’t agree. Even if you don’t agree, voice your opinion, I swear I won’t ban or delete your comments like some administrator we all know from Free Lunch Room :) .

Do you guys hear that barking? Who is it? Oh look! It’s Leo Shimizu’s faithful dog!

Gladiator: You’re looking at it the wrong way. This is a way to create a positive image for FLR where new members don’t read constantly negativity of those trying to bring FLR down. (postscreen shot)

No no,the way to create a positive image for Free Lunch Room is to make sure all the truth about Leo Shimizu is hidden so users can pour in more and more money for no traffic.

TrainnAddict: So now you are limiting the freedom of speech on places other than your forum too? Honestly all you are doing is pitting people against each other for expressing their opinions and then rewarding them with a sticky… (post screen shot)

This great “type A” member realizes what Leo Shimizu is really doing, posts about it, and then gets banned. Typical Leo tactics. I hope he finds other great forums such at A4F, CS101, TFX, FREV, and others to be apart of.

Not only do they not want to be here so we are doing them a favor by kicking them off, (i’m assuming they don’t want to be on FLR otherwise they wouldn’t have made all of the hateful remarks they made) but we are also helping the industry as a whole because we are filtering out mentors that otheres think shouldn’t be here. I would hate for a newbie to get a mentor that is so negative and mean-spirited. (postscreen shot)

How can Leo Shimizu help the industry when he had (maybe still does) scammed it so many times? And since when is Free Lunch Room the center of the industry. Free Lunch Room, as well as Leo Shimizu, are only a small spec in the incentive industry. Not trying to say the users don’t mean anything, what I’m trying to say is that this industry is not affecting by the success or fail of Free Lunch Room, as well as any other forum. All the big companies do not advertise in the forums and yet make much more than Leo Shimizu can scam his way from.

Not only does this operation cease right before we get the traffic jumpstart but all threads pertaining to this time period (including this one, so quick take those screenshots for all you conspiracy theorists) will be removed as well so the newbies won’t know a thing about our little house cleaning project that we did before they arrived. (postscreenshot)

Leo, Leo, Leo… you know I won’t let you just delete your amazing thread without saving it for everyone to see. You can try to hide/delete the truth from your members, but I’ll make sure they have access to it on my blog. But hey, thanks for admitting you do delete many threads that reveal the truth about you. I wonder what your members think about that?

Well this was a pretty long post, I just cant help myself when Leo sets himself up. It gives me a tingly feeling inside. Do comment and let me know what each of you Free Lunch Room think about Lord Leo and his new law to turn all you guys against each other. You can always respond “anonymous” and I will never ever give any of your information out. Before I end this, I just want to share a wise quote from Leo.

Like I said, wanted to spice things up a bit! When our staff first came up with the idea to let people nominate people to be removed from the forum, we thought we were nuts for a second too. This was actually inspired by the CNN segment about neighbors being able to vote out or prevent sexual predators from living in their neighborhood. It was the power of the community to fend for itself that impressed us. To answer your last question, I went back and edited the usage of that word so it wasn’t confusing to others. (postscreen shot)

Sigh, idiot.

    I don’t care if i am snitched on, this is so worth it…did you see how he blatantly and openly smacked a groupie follower in public!?!?

    What will eventually happen is…. people were happy here, things are slow and all, people talk negative here or other forums, but once flr gets busy again, they will be back. Should they be allowed to come back? The word is “Loyalty”. Who is really loyal to flr? Those should be the ones who stay.

    edit: I’m not pointing that sentance out in particular in any negative way, it’s just that sentance made me think about what I stated up above. Which is great! being nice is alway nice :)

    ***LoL I hear this person saying…I am here LEO do you see me, I am your LOYAL follower! please don’t get mad and ban me, I just want you to see I am LOYAL***

    And what is his response to his faithful servant?

    It’s not even about loyalty. That is too much of a personal / petty thing to be concerned with. I don’t care about who is “loyal”. Users that are constantly negative and don’t like FLR, shouldn’t be on FLR. Period. Not only do they not want to be here so we are doing them a favor by kicking them off, (i’m assuming they don’t want to be on FLR otherwise they wouldn’t have made all of the hateful remarks they made) but we are also helping the industry as a whole because we are filtering out mentors that otheres think shouldn’t be here. I would hate for a newbie to get a mentor that is so negative and mean-spirited.

    ***Ok he thinks loyalty is petty, and HE says he does not care about it. But what does he care about? mentors that are negative and mean-spirited? this guy makes no sense at all. Are you kidding me? Sounds like either one of two things is happening…

    A) this man is setting up a new owner (whether new or controlled by him) and looking ridiculous to usher in the new gleaming knight in shinning armor sitting on an all white stallion. Who will conveniently save all of flr in the nick of time from Leo.

    B) This guy is melting down, loosing control, and setting fire to his business while he is still inside the building. I can not imagine anyone is this crazy.

    I admit when i first started reading all your info on this guy, I thought..”ah bad business deal gone wrong, some true some false info all in the name of pay back.”

    But even if (i believe you now) none of this is true, you started the ball rolling, and he is doing himself in big time. I think you can close this blog down, and just let this guy talk now. lol

    -cory (soon to be banned on flr) hey since I am going to get banned soon should i post your link everywhere around the forum? lol maybe real early in the morning before any mods are up.

      Honestly everyone tells me that I’m some good detective. But the best part about this post was that I didn’t have to dig up anything, Leo threw himself under the bus. Don’t worry about posting the link everywhere, it already seems like most of FLR knows about this blog.

    20. May, 2009

    As another user mentioned in that thread “Only FLR can bring FLR down.”. It seems this is happening with every BS post coming out of Leo’s mind.

    Good to hear FLR is going down…fast! It’s about time the flr scam was made more public. People need to think for themselves and not be Leo’s brainwashed puppets.

    Go join anything4free everyone! It is the oldest and best forum. No dictatorship and brainwashing going on there. You won’t be banned for voicing your freedom of speech, unlike TrainnAddict did and got banned just for posting that.

      20. May, 2009

      Oh, I just read some more and came across this yet another idiotic post of Leo’s doing (when responding to TraInnAddict’s comment):

      ………
      Ah this is the classic “freedom of speech” confusion. I learned the difference when I was like 11 arguing with my mom but I guess some people don’t see the distinction clearly like I do. Limiting your freedom of speech would entail us actually disabling your ability to speak freely. Since you are able to say whatever you want to, your freedom of speech isn’t limited. That doesn’t mean there aren’t consequences.

      I’m a little tired to try and articulate the difference well enough for you to understand so I took a clip from the internet. Fast forward to about 2:50 where the topic is about free speech:

      Fast Forward to 3:00 to learn about Free Speech

      So to summarize, the Freedom of Speech doesn’t make you immune from the consequences of what you said. It only gives you the right to say whatever you want, not the right to say whatever you want and get away with it. So basically I have the right to go out to the street and yell “I’m going to shoot everyone” but that same right certainly doesn’t protect me from getting arrested.
      ………

      Notice how his “Freedom of speech” was quashed with him being banned. And now the thread is locked so know one else can speak for themselves. They just need to be Leo’s brainwashed pets. ROFLMAO!

    Alright, so after keeping up with this whole saga I wanted to finally chime in. I want to preface what I’m about to say by saying I despise Leo just as much if not more as the next guy. Shaz, question for you though, didn’t you have a support rep. a while back that you fired/let go because they had issues with Leo? Just curious.

    Now, onto the man of the hour (and I use the term “man” loosely). The position I’m currently in prevents me from actually disclosing everything I do know about him. I’ve been banned several times for speaking out and voicing my opinion on the forum. I’ve had several talks with this guy over AIM. You can bet if the position I’m in were to ever change I’d be sure to make these conversations public, I think it could possibly open the eyes of his loyal minions, and they can finally see once and for all what type of tyrant he really is. Until that time the dirt Shaz is digging up will just have to suffice. This egotistical, self-centered maniac needs to be brought down, good luck to you with that.

    Man, Leo has gone off the deep end. If he knew he was going to get the boot by PPD, then he should have told everyone immediately. Instead, he got his money for pins and his greed took over. And now my good friend Lauryn99 was banned from FLR because of what she said on another forum? So stupid. FU Leo for banning her, and FU to whoever tells Leo about this post.

    I also don’t like A4F….no one is welcoming there.

    Therefore, me and Lauryn have decided to create a new forum, where freedom of speech is allowed and where idiots like schizerbone can’t ruin the positivity. I will post the link to the forum in a few days when we get it up.

I was never banned from FLR and NO we are certainly NOT starting our own forum…don’t have the time nor the know how (at least I don’t, lol) I know for a fact that Q truly likes A4F and I like both A4F AND FLR.

  7. Leo Lover NOT!

    20. May, 2009

    I swear the more and I am around that fucking forum the more I want to just shoot myself for supporting them (Leo) for the past year and a half. Yes, I would rather be dead than to have to listen/read anymore of his lies.

    Sure I was one to support him and his forum once upon a time, but it didn’t take me long to start speaking my own mind. What happened when I did???? I got slammed by many other Leo Lovers for speaking the truth and not acting like one of his damned slaves! Since she is quoted here..one of those that took every opportunity to preach the godliness of Leo and attack me was Boosieloo! Dear Ol Boosie just recently jumped on the WTF bandwagon so don’t be giving her too much credit!

    And while these attacks came too many times to count, guess who got banned each and every time? ME! Because I needed a time out, or time to unwind, or whatever his jackass excuse happened to be.

    True I am not outting myself here and I am hiding behind an alias because of these assinine slaves of his. I do like going there to read up on the gossip, post occasionally, and get as much dirt on his sorry ass I can. Which reminds me….. Good Ol Leo did his own house-cleaning before he posted his latest announcement so that nobody could quote him bad-mouthing and belittling his so-called loyal members!

    OK, I think I am done ranting about this fool for now. But I am looking forward to many more updates! LOL

    G’Day All!

      LOL is all I can say!! I have never been the one to jump on or off bandwagons. And I never attacked anybody about Leo or even Ms. Cleo LOL. There are only a few people I would chop a sucka down for and Leo is not one of them.

      Stop with the fake posts and nonsense and allow this blog to keep it’s credibility. The truth is good enough but it sure is funny that these kinds of posts didn’t start until the new deal when on over at FLR.

      I hope this is not you know who doing you know what to piss off everyone LOL!!

    There’s some rather dense people over there, but I don’t think Monksmom is one of them. We can’t take everyone’s comments at face value. A lot of them are clinging to the small hope that the traffic will pick up and want to make sure they are in good standing there if it does. Teacher’s pets don’t necessarily give a darn about the teachers.

    Leo – how about free sticky days for all those that were purchased for the April flood gates? BWAHAHAHA!

    My thoughts on this paronoid idiot selling off FLR is that it is exactly what he needs to do!!!! He needs to find an honest business person (unlike himself) who can take over the reigns and bring FLR back up to some level of respectability once again. That is THE absolute best thing he could do for FLR at this point in time after almost destroying it. Leo’s name is MUD now in the freebie industry as well as on his own forum. He’s not fooling anybody with his most recent revelations on why he wants people banned. I honestly believe your blog is just killing this fool, he claims he won’t waste his time reading “the gargage out there” but I think he gets on here every chance he has to try and catch somebody talking bad about him. Oh poor little Leo, did we hurt your poor little feelings? FU Leo the truth hurts doesn’t it!!!!!!!!

    As for the Project Payday emails letting all mentors know that we could transfer our status over to A4F I took it to mean that they, along with everybody else in the freebie industry, realized that FLR is going down. Actually it’s been nonexistant for months now with absolutely no traffic! $haz I agree with you that Leo probably knew not one thing about this and found out when the rest of us did. Who does he think he’s kidding trying to make everybody believe he’s in the loop??!! This fool is grasping for ways to save face and with every word that comes out of his mouth he makes himself out to be an even bigger moron.

As spade so wisely reminds us, morale is low, a lot of straw grasping and such…and human nature is prone to taking the easy way out in situations of this nature..negativity is ALWAYS easier than being positive, eh? lol…ask our children:)”–monksmom

    Tell me, how is anything you say slanderous?

    Def Slanderous-A false and malicious statement or report about someone.

    It’s not like you post random crap. Everything you say you back up with hard evidence. People really need to wake up and stop drinking the koolaid. I swear it’s like a kumbaya fest over there..”I love you.”…”No, I love you.”….”But I love you more.” Ugh…sickens me.

    “It actually doesn’t bother me when people “talk bad about FLR” Because I have my own mind, and can make my own decisions about things I like, dislike..or believe/disbelieve etc. What I have been noticing is the actual admin/owner posting some pretty weird things–that’s what gets my attention. I mean I don’t expect a forum of so many diverse people to all agree, or be happy 100% of the time. And I certainly would be afraid if every single post was happy and chipper (lol) I would feel as though I stumbled upon a cult or something haha. So a little negativity never hurt anyone…people should be entitled to their opinions. But I get the feeling the it is a pissing contest, — “here ye here ye, go find me disloyal nay sayers so I may banish them from my godly kingdom” and people are doing it! Freely! Its SCARY…and dare I say it–VERY cult-like! ….and that is what I don’t like!

    “”"”Just like in school, people get upset and say things they are later sorry for. Don’t let this little incident dictate what the whole people here are about. The majority of us are grown up. Take a look at peoples profile and at what they posts…. and make your own opinion.”"”"”

    I understand that, Im not faulting or even finding anything Im unhappy with–concerning the forum MEMBERS at all, ive poked around, everyone seems pretty damn nice to me! Its the whole politics/whining of the owner that has seemed to surface recently that has gotten me a little more concerned.”—jmp1985

    Lets see how long it takes for them to get banned. I couldn’t have put it better myself, cult-like is an understatement.

    I seriously don’t understand all the hatred or FLR bashing.

    Did Leo scam trainn and order4free? Yes
    Is Leo an egomaniac? Yes
    Does Leo try to make money off his forum? Yes
    Does Leo run HIS website the way HE wants? Yes

    So my question is why are you throwing such a baby hissy fit?

    You didnt mind Leo having scammed trainn or o4f when he listed your sites as legit for 2 years!

    You never once complained or bashed Leo in those same 2 years while you were making mounds of money off Leos website!

    You have a blog about express revenue
    http://bestincentiveaffiliates.com/2008/12/21/express-revenue-hooks-it-up/

    http://bestincentiveaffiliates.com/2008/12/05/express-revenue-comes-through/

    Yet this owner Jake Kafmann is also a huge frauder, banned on trainn and offercentric as well as a 3 year ban on a4f for MASSIVE fraud. Yet you had no problem praising him (guess since you were making money).

    So now that Leo has banned you which is his right as the OWNER of FLR you bash him.

    So my question is why now? Why not 3 months ago, or 6 months ago?

    Why do you bash him for not disclosing he owns what site when neither do you. I notice you forgot to mention you owned the 2 sites banned on FLR in your ABOUT ME section.

    I will also note that you arent being totally honest with your posts.

    In January Leo informed all owners including you they had to switch all offers to vintacore and cpaunderground or else. He told everyone they would have a few months to make changes then owners would start being banned. Yet you didnt cry here or elsewhere. You continued to accept Leos traffic and revenue from his customers. You CHOSE to not go with Leos affiliates and are upset he banned you?

    People tend to forget an owner can do as they see fit. I am sure you have customers who are on hold who would prefer not to be, yet they broke your rules. Since your customers cant tell you how to run cashparrot you shouldnt be upset when Leo doesnt run his site like you want.

    This excerpt from watchingtheball was on your “I Got Banned at FLR” segment:
    Admin/aka Leo/aka Amir
    Some of you guys wanted me to ban members that were talking trash on other forums. I told you guys I didn’t want to do that because 1) it would require me to sink to their level and 2) it would actually require me to care what people say about FLR. Let’s really break it down: Members are mad because they know what an incredible site FLR is and they want it back to where it was before. I understand that and I’m right there with you guys! 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. All the banned sites came to me and wanted to be back on the forum. 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.

    Well it looks like he did sink down to their level and it looks like he does care what is said about FLR. He says he loves it that people are talking about FLR even if it is negative. Then he goes right ahead and sinks to that level by imposing his mass ban on people caught talking in or out of the forum. I swear every word that comes out of the MoFo’s mouth contradicts himself. As far as members knowing what an incredible site FLR is all they know now is that it sucks because that asshole ran it into the ground. He lined his pockets with $50000 here recently from the one sponsor network and no telling how many more thousands from others. Even worse he bilked the hard working traders out of every nickel and dime he could right down to the very end for upgrades and stickies that were useless. The only people making anything off those stickies towards the end were his people who had TRs in the hundreds. And you have to wonder about some of those MODS, were they associates maybe of his from his college days, Leo the last of the big time frauds go to hell you wimpy little coward. Your lousy forum is dead and will never be on top again. Stop lying to all the members who still have no knowledge of what a big fraud and lier you really are. Stop telling them the floodgates will open. Anyone with half a brain stopped believing that long ago but you still have some poor newbies or people with only less than half a brain who are clueless. I guess you’ll scam them to the end huh???
    PS: Leo I got family down in Mesa, maybe we’ll swing by for a visit next time we’re down. NOT!

    PPD now wants people to start doing offers for “fast training with Kelly” or something. They get $50 from Kelly, so it must use up a lot of offers. A large percent of the noobs on FLR would come in and green one site and then never be seen again. So now these types must not go further than with Kelly. Also, what if these people request for another site after greening once with Kelly? Would this Kelly person or whatever their name is really not have more to offer?

    Also, I’ve heard that PPD has become extremely picky with the leads referred by their affiliates and few are promoting it now. Supposedly you can send them real, good quality leads and PPD will say that not enough are converting on their end and then not let the person refer anymore.

    Great post as usual.

    So let me get this straight:

    I guess if I don’t like someone at FLR, and want to get them banned, I can just use their name to register on different boards and blogs, write negative comments on FLR and Leo and fire a screen shot to Leo and have them banned? hmmmmm interesting…I would even get a sticky for that….maybe that one person looking for a trade would finally see my post. Nice. Thanks

    Hey, haven’t posted in awhile….been busy doing productive online business. Just saw the piece on the other scam too…..boy oh boy it never ends does it? I am done with FLR, I only go there to check for messages from friends but it sure is showing, most times there’s only about 70 users online anytime of the day or night. Recent post made by Gladiator in response to lucky wondering about any updates on their up and coming FLR marketplace:

    Glad: Re: Progress report????

    ——————————————————————————–

    We’re going to have it be one massive upgrade at the same time. It’ll be everything all at once and we’ll make sure to break it down what changed and where everything is (but how we’re laying it out should be very easy to navigate). We’ve built up about 75% of the total product and we should be picking it up even faster as we wrap certain parts up. It’ll easily be the biggest thing to happen to FLR and it’s very exciting to see it come along as well as it is right now.

Here’s a recent post made by Glad in response to Miss lucky wondering about any updates on their up and coming proposed marketplace:

    well it seems the hatred for other members has already started here on this blog.. seems someone is trying really hard to get a member banned for post here on this blog.. this person that has been impresanated here is a respected trader as well as a very postive influence on flr regardless of what the admins are doing or not doing.. who ever posted this is down right rude, crude, and juvenile. post your own thoughts in your own name and stop trying to hide..

  32. Wow… and here we go allready huh! Who is that posting as me… could it be schizzerdick or hmm…well i guess I will never know. Anyone who really knows me obviously would realize this was a set up. First of all… I always capitalize the L… so if you want to be me then at least get that part right…its a BIG L on Lucky!!! And my little dots… are always in threes!!!! Ok then… I love FLR.. I go there everyday… and sure sometimes like with anything you really care about i do get frustrated… but this is just plain ridiculous…lmao!!

    OH and if you want to know who let me know that this even existed it was LEO.. yes Admin messaged to say “hey you have an impersonator!” and told me that I was reported for a comment that he did not think i really made!! Well thanks for tying up 10 minutes of my life… i have enough things to worry about without this kind of crap.

    So just to recap… that person above is not really me!

It’s unfortunate for you that someone dislikes you that much to pull something that low but Leo opened up this whole can of worms himself now didn’t he!!!!!!?????

    Ok Skidmark you win…i lose… my bad! I guess I am the loser here who feels the need to put others down and make fun of them so that i can feel like more of a man… no wait a minute… thats not right is it? Im confused now… i have a brain cramp hold on a sec… oh yeah now I remember where I was going… YOU are the one who is consistantly immature and causing drama where none needs to exist. Give it a rest man… dont be pissed cause I called you out… and if it wasnt you posting as me then you know who it was!

    I dont claim to be perfect or the smartest person around here but I do claim to be loyal and friendly. When someone has done good things for me then how can I speak badly about them? Obviously there is some shit between you and Leo and a few others as well but whatever it is/was… its in the past… lets move forward here. I lgenuinely ike Leo as a person… I think he has a good sense of humor and I have respect for him because he made something that brought hundreds of people together to make friends and money… and he did it better than any of the others out there!!! People say I am an asskisser and that is fine… it doesnt bother me. But I dont bow down to ADMIN… I get mad at him too occasionally and I’m sure he gets frustrated or pissed at me from time to time as well… but I am forever grateful to him and his FreeLunchRoom Forum. I have something that a lot of people seem to lose sight of… GRATITUDE!

    Gratitude means thankfulness or appreciation… it is a positive emotion or attitude in acknowledgment of a benefit that one has received or will receive.

    If every horrible thing that people say about Leo was true then I would still feel the way that I do! I think that if he has wronged anyone on a personal level then sure that person is entitled to be pissed… but I think for myself based on what I have been dealt. In the past two years I have made a very good amount of money… it has ALWAYS been up and down… summer usually stinks… fall is usually awesome… it cycles and I dont rely on it… but it is nice when I do make the cash… and I am greatful for it. I have gotten all of my reffs (up till this week) from FLR/Leo… sure I have done work and I have spent time but FLR/Leo has brought me the people to green and those people have brought me the money and that money has paid my bills, bought my groceries, put gas in my car, and with it my family enjoyed two really awesome Christmas’s. If FLR closed its doors tomorrow and I never had the chance to go there again I would be thankful for the time I had there not pissed off at Leo. I dont have a RIGHT to use his forum… its his… he allows me to be there. Just like youdont have the right to sit in my house or my car that I pay for… but I can offer you a room to rest if you have no where to go or a ride if you need one!!! If someone picks you up for work everyday and you dont need to worry about paying for gas or parking and then one day they cant bring you … would you be mad at them for not bringing you to work that day or greatful for all the days they did bring you??? A lot of this is all perspective. FLR and Leo have given me the chance, venue, and knowledge i needed to really make money online… how can i badmouth him/it?

    Let us not forget that it is not all about trades, greens, and money either!!! What about the people? I have met some awesome people in my time on FLR… many that I enjoy to chat with and be friendly with… a few that I will always hold dear and vacation with and stay friends with forever… and one in particular that has become like a sister to me, that I trust my son with, that is there when I need here and vise versa… Jade and I dont always agree (half the time we actually are on totally opposite ends of the spectrum…lol) but she is my BEST FRIEND and NOTHING Leo could do or say to me at this point would negate that friendship that I have made thru FLR…. his forum!!! I could walk away now and know that i had a great run… but luckily for me I dont have to!!! FLR is not going anywhere… and you know where you can find me!!!

    So its not even just loyalty… its not ass kissing… its gratitude plain and simple! I dont know why you have chosen to pick on me… you get a laugh out of picking people apart… but most times when someone does that it is because they need to feel better about themselves. You are just one guy… a young man behind the shield of a computer… smart yes… funny and witty yes… but unfortunately you are juvenile and mean spirited lots of the time and i am asking you now to please stop harrassing me, mentioning me, posting as me, bothering me… anything that involves me in any way, shape, or forum…. please just leave me the hell alone. You must have a lot of time on your hands and not many friends in real life… may i suggest that you get out more and find a woman (or a man if you go that way!) and find out how much fun it can be to get your jollies in a different way!!

    Everyone is entitled to thier own opinions about FLR and it is slow right now so yes it is normal to be frustrated. I was not happy to be told what sites I can trade… which is why I have had to join a second forum to trade those sites that are banned on… and yes now i also frequent Calistyle but FLR is my home… and i appreciate that i can be there.

    So if Leo murdered a child so you could make money you would still respect him and be thankful of everything he has done for you? So you’re saying him lying, scamming websites (he’s just like the same ones that have scammed you), and many other things is all fine to you as long as he gets you money?

    Leo didn’t do anything to “bring people together,” it was all PPD, as you can see with the current lows in traffic. If you honestly think that he did all this for his members and you, I can assure you that you are totally wrong. He doesn’t care about you, or any of the FLR members. He made so much money off you guys and would throw you under the bus any day, and the faster you realize that the faster you’ll snap out of your “I love Leo” phase.

    I really hope you don’t go around worshiping everyone who has made you money, especially in an unethical way. It saddens me to see how much you praise someone who has done so much wrong. You are a “type B” member.

    Shaz I respect your opinion and if he has done something personally to you then you are more than entitled to it. I think banning sites and having some personal issues and money descrepencies is a little bit different than commiting murder!!! I have a hard time believing that he is doing anything that is very wrong… mostly because he is still here and operating… if things were so aweful and he was honestly this big meaning ripping everyone off then he would have been shut down by now…no? It is so easy to forge or edit conversations as was proved allready with this blog… that I have never seen any real proof that he is not a good person. People make mistakes in judgement… I choose to try and see the best in people and not the worst… and I hope for people to see the same in me. Now if you and others are/were so upset and can prove wrong doing and unethical behavior then file a lawsuit and take him to court… let a jury and judge find him guilty of something and then I would be the first to admit that he was maybe not what I thought he was. But even then I would still have to be greatful that I had luck with his forum… I cant take away the good things that have come to me from being a member of FLR. PPD was promoting his forum yes … and bringing members to his place yes… but why?… did he make the effor to create a deal with them… yes. What will all of the nay sayers say if Leo comes thru with some of his promises and the forum picks up in traffic without PPD? If five years from now FLR is still around and people are still making money with it will you all still be trying to bring him down? Did you gain any benefits from FLR? Did you meet people or make money or learn about things you didnt know because of FLR? If not then fine… if so then you sound like a spoiled child that is unhappy with mom and dad cause you didnt get the convertible when you turned 16 but rather the falling apart minivan… but hey at least it still drives ya from point A to point B… but lets overlook that and focus on the fact that it just isnt what you were promised or wanted right??? Life has ups and downs. I have nothing to gain from saying these things and I go into things with my eyes wide open. It is a gamble to do freebies… from top to bottom… credits, sites, affiliates, forums… all of us traders gamble with our time and money every time we go green or complete an offer… I have been dissappointed in life on so many levels by so many people who actually really matter to me like family and what not that someone who provides me with a venue to perhaps make money on is not high on my list of “omg he broke a promise” I tend to ramble and I am a deep thinker and I am a “big picture” person not an “immediate situation” person. Tell me what I would gain by turning around and acting negative about Leo. Would badmouthing him help me in anyway? Would it bring me money? Would it bring me happiness? Would it help my family? Why waste time worrying about those who you dont like? Im sorry Shaz I just dont get it. It seems like a waste of energy to me… i guess i just feel that you need to either really make a case with real proof and laywers and all kinds of crap or just decide to let it go and be at peace… focus on some new things and leave the negative behind… dwelling on negative things doesnt help anyone… certainly not the Freebie Industry. Maybe I am just too trusting and faithful in people… I hope everyone has a great day today… it is beautiful outside…

    Yea there are the 2 types on FLR A & B. Both Lucky and monksmom fall into the B category. No matter what good ole Leo has done their gratefulness towards him will never end. Both these women are optimistic people but so am I. For me holding on to optimism in a dying situation borders on stupidy so there comes a point in time to draw the line! There is nothing wrong with being grateful for having been given the opportunity to trade on FLR but make no mistake about it that whatever you accomplished there was completely you doing it and not Leo. I totally agree with Shaz that he didn’t do anything for the members, he made some good money off everybody at FLR and that was his main goal period. For months after the traffic ended he continued to bilk hopeful traders out of sticky payments so that should tell you something about his greedy side. Lucky also posted her same speech about being so grateful to Leo that she posted here on FLR. One of the responses she got back from monksmom as follows:
    monksmom:
    The blog you are discussing continues to be of dire angst to many of us…that guy oughta be strung up somewhere and then given a real life as it’s been bad enough without bringing OUR forum members into it, including me, and it was every ounce of strength I had to NOT sign up and slap the living hell-o right out of him!! The upside to the bogus comment was…it couldn’t have been you…lol…anyone who reads you at all knows you’re like me…we write volumes, none of this one or two sentence crap…lol…it’s against our religion:) However, if you or anyone knows who the blog’s author is in real life, I’d be very, VERY grateful for that knowledge:) You’re ALWAYS gonna be Ms Savvy…and in that, it is ALWAYS gonna be flr’s blessing to have you around:) xo UhOh Look Out Shaz!!!!!!
    She refuses to realize that you didn’t drag any of us FLR members into this at all. By whatever means we found you and have been given the opportunity to freely express our opinions, something Leo has tried to take away from us all. For me this involved several family members, my daugher and brother have traded on FLR though not active in a while. Both her boyfriend and my brother have jumped in here to comment. Leo is a scammer and surely if the network he attempted to scam had pressed charges he would have been convicted of fraud period!!! Along with the scammer side of his personality lying falls right into place, they go hand in hand. He has lied for months to his members about bringing in the big flood of traffic and the type B people will go down with the ship believing him. You just keep up the good work Shaz, The Truth is Out There and needs to be told, just remember there are those of us who value the truth and those of us who don’t!!!

    You didn’t answer my other question, so you’re saying that its ok that Leo scammed many people just cause he put food on your table?

    You want proof?

    You’re going by Alexa, which is not accurate at all. A4F had a higher Alexa rating when FLR had its highest traffic. There’s actually a thread on A4F about it. Alexa ratings change depending on a lot of stupid factors..traffic is just one.

    PPD traffic is going towards PPD’s own freebie websites.

    I wasnt sure if you were talking to me here Shaz but I think you were so I will answer you. NO i dont think scamming people is ok but what I am saying is that I have not seen actual hard proof that Leo is a scammer. I know that there are people unhappy and who claim he has scammed them but then again those same people could have sour grapes and just be unhappy about a business decision that was made. I will give the benefit of the doubt because on the other hand I have seen actual hard proof that Leo pays out (many times paid by ffamk) and like I said, I have made money on his forum. So please dont take my words out of context…I am not saying that you cant feel the way you do… hey if you dont like him or if you are pissed off at him because you dont like the decisions he makes thats on you, up to you, and your right to feel that way. People do not always agree on things… even best friends dont always agree… its the ability to “agree to disagree” that keeps people from tearing eachother apart. I did check out that link you put up but when i read that what “I see” is you posting your opinions and no real factual proof that any wrong was done… but I did only skim through it so if I missed anything that you think would be “hard proof” then feel free to email me and we can get more in depth.

    I want to apologize to you though for sort of hijacking your blog a bit… allthough I was kind of dragged in if ya know what I mean! I will continue to use Rocketbills allthough it is banned on FLR by doing those trades over on CALI. I truely want to get along with people here and all I was trying to say in my posts was that it is ok to view things differently and I am personally thankful for the financial gain and friends I have made on FLR and no matter which way you slice it that is because of LEO. But that is just me.

    I also did want to comment on one other thing though. Someone said in here that people like me and Monksmom are stupid for “sticking with a sinking ship” and I honestly dont agree with that at all. If i were to do a total 180 right now all it would do for me is take away my ability to go on FLR and make some friends and perhaps some money. If FLR dies completely then I would have the sad sad satisfaction of knowing that i jumped off the FLR bandwagon before it completely fell apart but all in all that would be it. On the other hand if i stay positive and keep with FLR now the way it is I still do have the ability to help people, make the occasional dollar, and chat with friends. And if FLR doesnt go down in flames but rather really does come back in all its glory …lol… well then I will be there and very glad that I didnt abandon it! So from a stategy standpoint it is the wisest choice for me to stick with it… but also to branch out a bit… which is why I am now on a second forum as well. But I say all of this only to make my point clear… because I really do believe that FLR is not done and that Leo will come thru with some of the things he says. BUT if he doesnt then I will move on and have lost nothing by waiting it out with faith.

    Thanks Shaz for an interesting blog. Thank you also for being respectful to me even though we have different opinions!

    No need to say thanks or sorry, I’m open to all opinions and if yours is different than mine that’s perfectly fine. I just want you to see the truth behind the matter.

    That link proves he’s a scammer, with concrete proof and no opinions. If I make any claim, I always have the hard proof to back it up.

    I know you think that Leo will come through at the end, but I assure you, he has nothing planned and whatever he does have planned won’t work. I don’t want FreeLunchRoom to go down (which some might think), I want Leo Shimizu to go down.

    Okay Lucky since you keep coming back here and respecting other people’s opionions is so very important to you, this comment that I made:
    I also did want to comment on one other thing though. Someone said in here that people like me and Monksmom are stupid for “sticking with a sinking ship” and I honestly dont agree with that at all.
    My comment seems to bother you. I have never dealt with you but it’s obvious from your posts I’ve seen that you & monksmom are positive people. Well so am I and in making my statement you need to respect that as my opinion. I didn’t call either of you stupid, I just expressed my opinion that to hold on to any hope that admin is bringing his boatload of traffic is stupid. That’s my opinion and I’m just as entitled to it as you are to yours! If you don’t want to get upset about what’s being printed on this blog then I suggest not coming here to read the comments as many of us are outright outraged by all the scandal and that’s our right.
