This is an interview of David Bowie before the internet became what it is and how the dude was already there in his mind. Brilliant if you ask me. I also want to thank David Bowie for helping me realize early on as a kid that it is all right to be a little different and steer life your own unique way. Heck, it was cool even, imagine that to the horrors of my parents lol. Ever since I had some artistic creative brain cells but I never learned how to play anything because I just sucked at it! Maybe this TBB Ziggy like persona is my creative outlet as an artist 🙂

Nick sneaks one in!
Hey NIck, I think it was you who blogged about the IRS scammer with the name of Steve Madden. Guess what, he called me too!
I don’t think that was me, was it?
Hmmm, I saw a blogger posting his experience getting a call from a “Steve Madden”. I thought it was you. Maybe it was Matt. Maybe it was from a Fincon blogger.
Amex is serving layoff notices to the staff handling Serve:
http://www.bizjournals.com/tampabay/news/2015/12/11/american-express-lays-off-more-than-100-in.html
George, please let me know your opinion on this – if Amex is closing prepaid card accounts for MSing, why would they not do it for their credit cards? At least cards that earn Amex MR points, if not the co-branded ones. The target could well be those who used MS to get the signup bonus and never bothered to use them later or even those that were used only for getting signup bonus even through legitimate spend and closed after one year without any additional spending when the annual fee hits. Doesn’t matter either way as Amex is anyway not gaining anything from these accounts. Do you think it is a good possibility or am I reading too much between the lines?
Well, we don’t know for sure, we can only speculate.
My gut feeling is the BB/Serve product was just not that successful and, software speaking, it is much easier to identify the ones who were using the product primarily/heavily for MSing. So, they just did a purge, easy peasy for them.
As far as the credit cards go…I think it is likely harder, hopefully much harder 🙂 And the cards are, overall, much more profitable, especially now that even more suckers will be…in debt for doing so much real spend & then…, you know, life happens and they can’t pay the balance off. #sosad
Wish an Amex staffer can fill me in, discretion assured #hint

These lame bloggers questions really piss me off.
Blame also the readers for commenting and thinking that the a*hole blogger gives a sh*t about their opinion.
True dat.
