Credit Cards ???
I just got this book........."Debt Cures-----"THEY" don't want you to know about"/Kevin Trudeau.
This guys Info, is SO good, that he's getting DEATH threats from the Banks etc.
JESUS,...do I LOVE a WHISTLE BLOWER
Oh that Kevin Trudeau, he's a piece of work! The death threats were made up to sell more books.
From Consumer's Union:
Trudeau is an infomercial entrepreneur before being a supposed consumer advocate, and he has taken advantage of our primary needs for health and financial security. He has clearly formalized company practices to make cancelling orders near impossible. Further, his books are general overviews and don't typically provide the full details without one subscribing to his site and giving even more money on top of the overpriced books. In short, he prys his way into your wallet and doesn't let go. He is the last person who should be trusted to improve your financial life, having in fact a well-documented and consistent track record of financial impropriety against his customers. He is the financial wolf in sheeps clothing.
I actually read through one of his books on the health cures they don't want you to know about. It was a load of tripe! I wouldn't take anything this guy says with much more than a grain of salt.
As with any Trudeau book . . .
Caveat Emptor!
I hope you didn't give him your credit card number to buy his "book"!
A PARTIAL list of Criminal history and legal proceedings of Kevin Trudeau:
[edit] 1990-1991: Larceny and credit card fraud
In 1990, Trudeau posed as a doctor in order to deposit $80,000 in false checks, and in 1991 he pled guilty to larceny. Trudeau had used the credit cards of eleven customers of the mega memory product to fraudulently charge approximately $122,735.68.[13] He spent two years in federal prison because of this conviction (Choi, 2005). Later, in his book Natural Cures, Trudeau claimed that he has since learned from his experience, and is now motivated to help people rather than merely to make money for himself.[9]
[edit] 1996: SEC and various states
Trudeau began working for Nutrition For Life, a multi-level marketing program in the mid-90s. However, in 1996, his recruitment practices were cited by the states of Illinois and Michigan, as well as the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Illinois sued Trudeau and Jules Leib, who was his partner, accusing them of operating an illegal pyramid scheme. They settled with Illinois and seven other states for $185,000 after agreeing to change their tactics. Michigan forbade him from operating in the state.[9][10][11][12] A class action lawsuit was filed by stockholders of Nutrition for Life for violations of Texas law including misrepresenting and/or omitting material information about NFLI's business. In August 1997, the company paid $2 million in cash to common stockholders and holders of warrants during the class period to settle the case. The company also paid the plaintiffs' attorney fees of $600,000. [14]
[edit] 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."[15][16] 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." [9][17]
[edit] 2004: FTC contempt of court and injunction
In June 2003, the FTC filed a complaint in the Northern District of Illinois against Trudeau and some of his companies (Shop America (USA), LLC; Shop America Marketing Group, LLC; and Trustar Global Media, Limited), alleging that disease-related claims for Coral Calcium Supreme were false and unsubstantiated. In July 2003, Trudeau entered into a stipulated preliminary injunction that prohibited him from continuing to make the challenged claims for Coral Calcium Supreme and Biotape.
In the summer of 2004, the court found Trudeau in contempt of court for violating the preliminary injunction, because he had sent out a direct mail piece and produced an infomercial making prohibited claims. The court ordered Trudeau to cease all marketing for coral calcium products.
In September 2004, Trudeau agreed to pay $2 million ($500,000 in cash plus transfer of residential property located in Ojai, California, and a luxury vehicle) to settle charges that he falsely claimed that a coral calcium product can cure cancer and other serious diseases and that a purported analgesic called Biotape can permanently cure or relieve severe pain. He also agreed to a lifetime ban on promoting products with infomercials. However, that did not restrict his right to promote books via infomercials.[3][4][18]
All of the above is common knowledge and is all over the net.
