Get Rich quick Gurus
To get rich quick, or not?
Recently went to a real estate program from a TV show that promised the world. They say a sucker is born everyday, I think it's more like a sleezball is born every second.
Using celebrity to scam people has to be the lowest of low in terms of basic human interaction.
I am from a hard working community and I am pretty sure that none of the people there were ready for the Okie Doke.
I felt bad, especially for the old woman who were clearly star gazing. I imagine they had good info to share, but for 8 grand I would personally rather pay 8 people a grand a piece for some mentoring.
That is how I found this site. I was researching scams ect and I guess some of you went through the same program.
The money for me wasn't an issue, the issue is good faith in business. I would rather loose money with an honest person than give to shysters.
In closing, I want to say that I am extremely happy for this site. I have learned more in the last three days than in my entire life. Thank all of you for your experience.
