Currently in research stage trying to figure out what is the best way to get started without getting scammed by a bad ebook or other program.

It can be overwelming and don't really have the time or money to spend on a scheme/scam.

Account Closed just curious on your feedback to this blog:  https://www.biggerpockets.com/blogs/6620/53725-true-story-of-how-my-first-real-estate-investment-was-a-scam

I am a 22 yr old senior at University of Maryland College Park, and I am really interested in Real Estate, and I would like any opinions on this class or is it a scam.

They prey on the fact that the people in the room aren't happy with their current job and paint the picture of overnight success 2.) they use high pressure tactics that make you feel like you're missing out and making a big mistake if you pass up on the training since "your investing in yourself and your future"3.) they also have others that are in the program attend as well to help hype up the presentation. there is also people who post on BiggerPockets that support the training that only respond to people saying they had a bad experience with a company. best way to know if they are a scam is by looking at their profile and if they have less then 20 posts normally it BS. 

I'd like to belive if I made the investment they would actually help but of course the voice in my head is telling me SCAM!

So it looks like I found the guys website and the pictures don't seem to line up at all. http://www.jonbowerlpl.com/teamI'm fairly certain this is a scam email that I didn't click on, but how is it possible that he got my email address?

Make sure nobody copied your listing and is using it as a SCAM on Craigslist. 

It's hard for me to agree with others who say these are "scams" or a waste of money.
