FTC taking action against another "guru" course

This is the "Guru" course I attended several years ago. 

On our lunch break our "assignment" was to go outside and call up all of our credit card companies to try to get raised limits, so we'd have it for investing. 

Andddd thennnn right after lunch came the pitch for the $5-$50k worth of mentoring they offered. Guess how many people paid for that using their newly raised credit limits? 

It's the nature of predatory- I'm glad there are steps to stop this junk. 

"In its complaint Friday, the FTC said that Utah-based Zurixx LLC would hold free real estate events endorsed by HGTV stars, including Tarek El Moussa and Christina Anstead of "Flip or Flop" fame"
