True indeed! I got scammed myself into a 'mentoring program', which was basically 2 months of 20 minute phone calls once a week. Plus some camtasia videos and PDF's about various aspects of affiliate marketing. Oh, and $50 a month web hosting. The information was alright, for the totally green newbie that I was, but nothing I wouldn't have figured out on my own and definitely not worth the thousands I paid for it.
Money back guarantee, you say? Can you wave a brown flag and say "bullshit!" Their argument will be that if you had
really listened to what they were teaching you and
really tried to use their methods, you'd be filthy rich already. If you're not, hey that's
your fault, bro, for not trying! We can't help it if you don't want to learn so hell no you can't get your money back.
Don't Do It!
