All this Brock Landers talk got me thinking about the various scams we are exposed to everyday, such as infomercials and pyramid schemes etc....What are your live and learn experiences with these?
The most prominent one I can think of was in my senior year of high school I heard about this presentation at the Marriot hotel, and that I should check it out. So I went there with about 10 random kids, the company was 2by2.net, standard pyramid scheme, and all I remember from that PowerPoint presentation was visions of Lamborghini's and repetitive talk of easy money, by just starting a website and recruiting others or something. So I wrote out a check (as well did a few others) for $420 (interesting #). And nothing ever happened, Ill admit I was pretty lazy about it and didn't really pursue it too much. There were a few unconfirmed rumors of people making a hundred bucks or so... Anyone else?
