Guest guest Posted August 16, 2001 Report Share Posted August 16, 2001 Yesterday, somebody posted a link to a site with weight loss information, so i decided to check it out. When I got there, whoever it was was selling an information package. I thought to myself, why not? I've already spent tons of money on everything else. So, like any gullible person would, I bought it. I got instant access to the information. I immediatly thought all the information was " bullshit " (excuse the language) so I consulted my doctor, he told me that all the information was true and that many doctors do in fact suggest losing weight this way. I looked around the internet for more information on it. To my surprise every other site I found that was selling the information costs $15, $19, and one was even selling for $35! In my opinion, the post was not a scam and the person was truly trying to help. I've seen a lot of posts chastising this person when they really were trying to do a good thing by not scamming us. If you would like to visit the site, the address is. http://geocities.com/mymoney100/weight2.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 17, 2001 Report Share Posted August 17, 2001 I am always interested in something that works, but it is advertising no matter how you look at it. If this person really thought this information would help, why didn't they just post the information rather than trying to sell it? They probably just joined this group to advertise, not because they care about us succeeding. It might be looked at differently if they were referring us to someone else who sold something that worked for them, but it is their product and that are interested in making money. > Yesterday, somebody posted a link to a site with weight loss > information, so i decided to check it out.

Guest guest Posted August 17, 2001 Report Share Posted August 17, 2001 Would you mind sharing the general idea of what you got? I'd like to do a little of my own research.

Guest guest Posted August 17, 2001 Report Share Posted August 17, 2001 CAREFUL This looks to me like a cleverly worded advertisement. He's telling you he was skeptical, but them pushes you to go to this site. --- lisa-c.smith.b@... wrote: > > > Would you mind sharing the general idea of what you > got?
