[link to www.cbsnews.com] Now, lets just think about this and the relationship to TV? Now think of some really shitty low grade magazines with bogus ads...? Just saying, seems like there's a lot in common these days. Infomercials all over the place and we are paying for this crap? |

But I'm conflicted about how to feel about this. I really ought not have pursued quick wealth like that. "Wealth gained hastily will dwindle, but whoever gathers little by little will increase it." (Proverbs 13:11) Thanks for the news OP. |

cdevidal User ID: 15496 United States 10/03/2011 12:41 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I got cheated by his scams in the late 90s. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1124145 I didn't lose TOO much money, and now look at it as a learning experience. Ditto. Exactly the same with me. I was young and naive.

MLM Dude User ID: 2560442 United States 10/03/2011 12:56 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I bought his stuff in the 90's as well. From what I remember, everything in it was pretty obvious, but then again, I already had experience with copywriting and placing ads. There was one bit of value -- He provided a report with tons of newspapers to contact and place ads in. Remember, this was waaaay back, like before the Internet was mainstream or ebay was around. Was he overcharging for the value provided? Probably, but I wouldn't think it was illegal, as many others overcharge for useless crap too. As far as the vitamin claims go, I have no clue. I felt more scammed from purchasing the no money down real estate courses of the time, as most of them were based on finding people in deep shit with assumable loans, which was borderline impossible. |

They all seem dirty and trying really hard to make believe that they are being honest but at the same time they are almost bursting out laughing in disgust at who they are conning. They really seem like they feel like their victims deserve to be conned. None of them are really very good at it at all. At least not to me. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 1585965 United States 03/18/2014 12:18 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | No offense to anyone who fell for this scam in the 90's (God knows we all fall prey at some point in our lives), but anytime someone says you have to buy something before they'll show you the product is hiding something. It made my scam-sensors ping like crazy back then and still does to this day (Courtney Brown, anyone?). |
