Private Money 'Exchanges' Paid Memberships

[Robert Shoffner]

Does anyone have any experience with these?  I'm sure you know of or have heard of them.  I didn't if anyone had a positive (or negative) experience with them.  I won't mention any names, but one guru is sending out emails regularly about private money gold mine, where it tells you about someone local who wants to lend at x% (sometimes 5 or 6%, or 10%) and how many dollars they want to lend.  Has anyone any used this?

I tried a different one for about 3-6 months because I had free access for a limited time.  I searched for local lenders mailed out to them a few times, and got almost 0% response or results.  Has anyone had a different experience or recommend anything helpful?
