Fraudulent Chargebacks

I like your last suggestion. Just like consumers share information on businesses, businesses can benefit from sharing information on consumers.

I agree that winning a judgment in court can often be the easy part. Collecting on a judgment is a whole different ballgame.

I’m satisfied with my 9-5 job and I always get paid. No need to worry about taking a deadbeat to court, win, and still can’t collect a paycheck.

Running a business is definitely different from being an employee of the business.

Look good. Be your own boss. Never get chained to a desk. When it comes to business, take cash only.

“Cash only” is an awfully tricky way to run a business. You limit your customer base, for one thing, and, unless you collect the cash payment prior to doing the work, you run into the same problem of a customer not paying. Taking the customer to court would still be necessary.

You've got a good memory.

In Coneheads (1993) Sinbad's character tells Beldar that the key to success is to look good, be your own boss, never work at a desk, and take cash only. Later in the movie Beldar fulfills all of these by wearing a nice suit as the owner of his driving school, and he takes his payment in cash. : MovieDetails (reddit.com)
