What I want to warn you folks about is the unethical high pressure, deceptive phone calls that I have received for over two months from the John Beck Organization. Three different people have called me promising to "guarantee" to set me up with a "mentor" who would help me make at least everything I "invested" in "my 'EDUCATION'". They said their method specialized in the use of "OPM" (other people's money) and recommended the prospective student send them $10,000 to $15,000 or at the very least $5000. In order to make the "investment" painless, they recommended I put the charge on a credit card!

Now, here in Alabama we have a name for such people. But I will not offend you fine people with it. Suffice it to say I told the Beck people, I would prefer to make my own mistakes and I figured for $5,000 to $10,000 I could make several doozers and still have some left over.

To put this outrage in perspective, consider Mr. Barazandeh's genuinely helpful offer to do phone consultation for $65/hour. At the rate the Beck people charge, you could keep Mr. Barazandeh on the phone for FOUR HOURS A DAY FIVE DAYS A WEEK FOR FOUR STRAIGHT WEEKS. And that is just for their cut rate deal. For the cost of a real Beck Org. "education" you could pay for a two hour phone consultation each week with Mr. Barazandeh for the next 96 YEARS.

Do the world a favor: when you see John Beck's infomercials on TV, call or write a complaint to the station. And maybe drop a post card to the FCC as well.
