I heard about this book on the radio, and had a look at the site. Now I'm not sure if it's any good so that's why i'm asking here.

Well, if you have doubts about that book, try one that's been around for a while called "Think and grow rich".

Think about it Ferno. If that schmuck really got rich like that, why would he tell everyone how he did it unless he's making it up and selling the books to gullable people to make money off of their ignorance and stupidity?

If it sounds too good to be true, it often is.

/me agrees with sonyusa. If I were a millionaire, a Porsche would definitely not be my first choice (with the possible exception of the $250,000 GT).

Back on topic, fernii, I responded last night rather skeptically but thought better of posting it since I really have no idea if this guy is legit (but he creeps me out so that's enough to disqualify him for me right there). The thing that struck me, however, is his sample pages say absolutely nothing of value and his backcover testimonials are suspect (the GuysUnlimited person implies already being a success but the site says *under construction*. That raised doubts. That plus the GTC Telecom testimonial. GTC's SEC filings indicate most of what they do is handled offshore and there seems to be some sort of affiliation with Worldcom/MCI (currently going down as one of the biggest cooking-the-books scams in history). I tried to believe but just scratching the surface got my fingernails stinky. :o

There is a sucker born every minute. If you don't know who it is, it may just be you ;) Don't do it.

That's one hell of a Get rich quick scheme, seeing as when i clicked checkout (as a lark) it came up as no charge (which means i pay shipping). heh

Oh, oops, I forgot to mention that, fernii. An important detail, I know, but I also read where they're giving away the first $250,000 in orders. Drug addict marketing. THe idea being they want you to shop any business ideas you have with them so they can invest (steal?) if they think it's worthwhile. I had visitors surprise me yesterday just when I was posting so I must have cut it short. :o

In other news, good to know what this is. I just liked it cause it was creepy. Figured it was some sort of parasite, hence appropriate for me. :D
