Have you seen the ads on late night TV?

Hot NEWS! August 31, 2004

Seattle Man accused of ripping off consumers by misleading them about the money that could supposedly be made brokering notes.

Consumers pay from $5,000 to $8,000 to participate in the so-called "Stefanchik Program," but few if any actually make money, according to a civil suit filed last Tuesday in Seattle federal court by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC).

The FTC’s complaint alleges that, in their direct mail and telemarketing sales pitches, and on their Internet Web site, the defendants make claims such as:

“The easiest way to make $10,000.00 +++ every 30 days... guaranteed!”

“That’s right! You’ll have $10,000 profit every 30 days easily . . . from the comfort of your home . . . . in your spare time . . with no money to start . . . no selling . . .just like myself and people like you are doing right now!”

For the full story:

But there are other scam artists still out there. And you can usually tell the scam artists very quickly. Because they always make it seem so easy and their ads are filled with endorsements (usually made by paid actors) telling how much money they made.

The ads are full of people holding up blown up commission checks, expensive cars and luxury homes. The ads are long on promises but short on business facts.

Like the old saying goes, if it looks too good to be true, it usually is. So here are some facts to consider before you sign up for that course.
