class="zem_slink" title="Confidence trick" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Confidence_trick">scam artist</a>.  These people prey on those who don’t know any better, who are looking to make a quick buck.  People who act impulsively and choose to let their <a

class="zem_slink" title="P. T. Barnum" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/P._T._Barnum">P.T. Barnum</a>) once said, “<a
class="zem_slink" title="There's a sucker born every minute" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/There%27s_a_sucker_born_every_minute">there’s a sucker born every minute</a>,” yes apparently so.  The Rich Jerk (as he calls himself, <a
class="zem_slink" title="Google" rel="homepage" href="http://google.com">Google</a> this name and you will see who he is), still makes $1 million a month instead of the $3 million a month he was making (thanks to the <a
class="zem_slink" title="Federal Trade Commission" rel="homepage" href="http://www.ftc.gov/">FTC</a>.)  He is making this money from the wallets of unsuspecting people like you.  If not you, then maybe your relatives, friends or neighbors, whomever.</p><p>Don’t let anymore self proclaimed gurus take advantage of you.  People I implore you to do your research, read about a company before you join one!  Don’t be a sheep, don’t be a follower.  And please don’t believe the hype when you read, “only 12 left,” or “private launch.”  Those words are the biggest sack of lies ever invented; designed to get you to part with your hard earned money as quickly as possible.</p><p>You can read the rest of Rich Jerk’s confession by going here:  <a
