@jennifer- thanks for visiting. The link to the video with an undercover camera is the bolded link. It was done by CBC marketplace, it’s about 30 minutes long, from what I recall. =)

@Matt- Wow, really? That is really scary to know that there might be fakers in the crowd who were hired to sound enthusiastic. They must be making a ton of money on this otherwise they wouldn’t have the money to hire people like this. I’m actually quite curious now and am going to sign up for the next one that comes in my city for a first hand experience. From what you say though, it sounds horrid!

I sat through a free seminar today just to watch these snake oil salesman work the crowd. There were fools in there who bought the course in the first 5 minutes. Of course, one has to wonder how many were “plants” working for the seminar. I walked out after an hour, it was so bad.

@Alan- Thanks for commenting. I would be interested in trying the free seminar, just to see what it’s all about. I am actually just spreading the word about the documentary with the undercover camera, so am basing my opinion from that. I’ll let you know when I go, they come by quite often to Vancouver.

I know it is possible to get ripped off but really are you who are blogging wealthy?
Maybe you should really try something from the free seminar and stop walking in fear and blameshifting.
Just a thought…

@mike mc- Thanks for sharing- I didn’t know he actually had a stock investment course as well! Ouch $10K? Sorry to hear you had to go through that. I’m surprised his company’s business practices hasn’t been shut down yet.

Hey, his stock investment courses are a scam also. After $10,000 and 9 mo. they say they have on record that I paid. Therefore, no more online training.

@Benjie Thanks for visiting. Yeah, I think it’s primarily the seminars that is the concern… he claims not to be affiliated to them though. Thanks for visiting!
