Default Kevin Trudeau

I woke up this morning, turned on the tv and there was an informercial on with Kevin Trudeau about debt! Of course he left a lot of cliff hangers as to have u buy the book with cd and a newsletter. But was just curious as to if anyone else read this book??
Thanks for any feed back,
Ang

Kevin Trudeau I think is a scammer. Probably when I was about 10 or 11 he did these books-on-tape called "Mega Memory". My dad bought them and made us do it as a family thing to try to boost our memeroy. It was a crock and didn't do $#!t.

Just google Kevin Trudeau -- he's got another side that he doesn't want people to know about ... larceny, credit card fraud, illegal pyramid schemes...

Wikiedia has a good synopsis on him
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kevin_Trudeau

Quote:
1998: FTC fine
In 1998, Trudeau was fined $500,000 to be used for consumer redress by the FTC, relating to six infomercials he had produced and in which the FTC determined he had made false or misleading claims. These infomercials included "Hair Farming", "Mega Memory System," "Addiction Breaking System," "Action Reading," "Eden's Secret," and "Mega Reading."[13][14] The products included a "hair farming system" that was supposed to "finally end baldness in the human race," and "a breakthrough that in 60 seconds can eliminate" addictions, discovered when a certain "Dr. Callahan" was "studying quantum physics." [7][15]
LOL at mega memory

No I didn't get mega-memory LOL. I remember he taught if you get a mind block where you can't remember something, you're supposed to look to the top-left corner of your field of vision. Somehow that was supposed to unfreeze your brain and get you to think whatever you were trying to remember.

To this day, when I can't remember something, I still do that with my eyes hoping I can remember. But it never works! LOL

It sounds to me like Mr. Trudeau is a jack of all trades and a master of none...except maybe deceit!

Two words I can think of which will lose any friendly ears at your creditor. Those two words are"Filing Bankruptcy".

Well...I have mr. Trudeau's natural cures THEY don't want you to know about..I love it!! The guy cracks me up, he takes himself way too seriously. I believe he had a wee bit of trouble a few years back for impersonating a Dr!

You know what "looking to the top left corner of your vision"...isn't that what all the cartoon characters do when they are devising a plan of action? Somehow I can see Tom doing something like that to get Jerry?
You think that's where Trudeau got that one???
