Legal Question in Business Law in California

Business Plan

If I were to set up an internet site that offered people (for a nominal fee)information on a way to make money. And after they paid the money to me I would either allow them to download or I will send them a packet of papers that basicly tells them to set up an internet site or place a newspaper ad and offer the same type of information that I just sold them. Is this legit, could I get sued?

If you need to ask the question, you probably already know the answer. Your business plan sounds like a ponzi scheme.

Re: Business Plan

Your business plan should have something valuable to offer... some information which is not common knowledge or atleast complile from different sources and come up with a comprehensive business plan which will be worth while for the people who are paying for it. It is always better to get an opinion from an attorney.

Re: Business Plan

I don't think it's legitimate, in that you're not really offering valuable information, and the ads would not be in good faith. For that, there would be at least some people who would sue, others who'd report you to the Better Business Bureau, and others who would call the District Attorney or Attorney General.

You are better off by offering information of some value.

Sounds like a scam to rip people off.
