Kevin Trudeau

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

[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."

LOL at mega memory

I just googled him and WOW! Wasnt' expecting to see all that! Ya know as the old saying goes "if it seems to good to be true it usually is"
He was hit with a huge fine for another book he wrote on cures! :shock:
So guess u didn't get the mega memory huh?
;)

:shock: This brings back Grandpa's old words of wisdom. If it sounds too good to be true,stay far away from it.

Yea and this definately sounded too good to be true! He said u can get $10,000 over night!!!!!!!!!!!!! :shock:

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!

Oh and another cliff hanger he said this morning.... he will give u "2" words to say to cc co's to reduce ur interest and take away all fees! "2 words"
Any ideas what these 2 words can be? (I can think of 2 but don't think that's what he's talking about)
:shock:
ANg

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

I don't know what those magical words could be...because I'm sure I have uttered them a time or two..with all the ccc's I have been in touch with...
must be foreign??

:lol: yeah Ang- I can think of 2 words ott- but don't think it is the 2 he's talking about. Don't we have a bunch of posts her about him too? Can't remember-looking at the top left--nope--still can't remember :lol: At my age, I don't think anything is gonna help-other thatn a brain transplant!!..karen

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???

Well Laura i'll let ya in on a little secret if u promise not to tell anyone! Promise??
Ummmm... i've tried it ALL day and it doesnt' really work UNLESS ur in the cartoon!
:lol:
Ang

Like the Twilight Zone Movie (if you saw that one)...you need to be sent to cartoon land in order for it to work!!!

EXACTLY! And some days i'd LOVE to be in cartoon land!
;)

I have posted this elsewhere about Trudeau:

thesmokinggun.com/archive/0826051trudeau1.html

He is a modern day PT Barnum. Except he rips you off for much more money.

Thanks Jeff, very interesting read! So his excuse is he was adopted huh? And also he was a professional magician, is that the part where he makes other people's money disappear into HIS pocket! :lol:
I'm not finished reading it all yet but will do so now....
Agian thanks,
Ang

ok i finished reading his mother's letter and ya know i'm sorry but we ALL have our stories from childhood or just our life in general... that does NOT give us the right to break the law or to steal from others!
WTH?
So this is VERY interesting to know that a convicted felon is now on tv and informercials....
:(

Hey...saw Kevin on TV tonight. This time it is with a book on loosing weight. Just a few tips..he says... there is a switch in you brain and you can learn how to switch it on and it will tell you body to loose that fat. You will loose that fat (no matter how much) without exercise or diet. Then you will have the great shapely body you have always wanted...for just 14.95! That's a bargain!

I would sure like to find that switch...if only it were that easy. :?

I would too Roxy..but first I've got to find my brain!

Hey laura, 14.95 hell I would pay 20.00 for a book to tell me how to lose weight without doing anything. A switch in my brain HUM. Looking for that switch now.

Maybe if u look up to the left! :lol:
Ang

Kash, I think you turn it on with cookies and icecream :lol: And for as much as I roll my eyes at people, up and to the left... I sould be a stick.
