    Hmm, personally I wouldn't go for it but it may be legit... I'm not an expert like some people on here :) ... but I don't like the look of it or the sound of what they apparently offer.

    Basically I think you will find a great deal of information, legit information at that, on this site right here, and more through your own research, without having to pay anything.

    With that said, I might be wrong and this could be a goldmine of money making ideas... just my personal opinion and gut feeling says leave it alone. :)


    Out of my mind. Back in five minutes.

    I haven't tried this site. You have to pay for it and it looks like a lot of other get rich quick schemes. Maybe someone else has paid up and done some research but quite honestly I would look elsewhere.
    Don't mess with pensioners. :cool:
  • I took this up a couple of months ago and have been pleasantly surprised. The sales blurb is pretty offputting but i gave it a go since I had 3 months to get my money back. Its not really get rich quick at all. Its mostly articles on how to make a little extra money and save extra money. Some of it can already be found on here if you search enough but a lot of them have expert advice.

    Its not a great deal of money, £29 when i ordered, but im probably going to keep subscribing. PM me with any questions.

    Any other newbies want to join the forum & come straight in & ask who's heard about this amazing opportunity. I don't think very many people on this forum are wet enough behind the ears to pay someone else money when they're trying to earn money.

    I am sure it is NOT worth the money. Its either an outright scam., or just recycled info you can get for free.

    I have not used it myself, but its promoted on numerous scammy bizop affiliate sites and phony review sites, that also promote "make $xxxxx per day for nothing" type scams, so id says its dubious enough not to touch.

    Also the last thread on MSE to mention it incurred a whole load of spam, which is never a good sign:

  • Correct me if im wrong but isn't a scam when someone (or a company) tries to trick you out of money by not giving you what you were promised? The guides i got were exactly what i expected, i had a friend who cancelled his subscription after about 6 months (was made redundant) and they gave him 50% refund for the years subscription which they didn't have to do at all.

    Like i said before the sales blurb is pretty offputting. Unfortunately there are a lot of people around who only seem to buy off these kind of promotions though so i guess the companies will keep using them. At the end of the day don't knock something till you've tried it. I don't like the go compare adverts but that doesn't mean i didn't save money when getting car insurance there!

    That's just rubbish, you don't have to have tried something in order to knock it. You can use past experience, knowledge and wisdom to deduce it is not a good idea.

    How can you have past experience, knowledge and wisdom if you haven't tried it though? Your logic is flawed.

    For instance. I don't like Guiness but does that mean i assume i wont other alcoholic drinks like magners, NO. I try them and more often than not i like them.

    Just because you think something is similar to something else doesn't mean it is.

    .

    How is it flawed?

    In the past I have read bad things about then = past experience
    I remember what I had read = knowledge
    From past experience and knowledge I deduce it is bad = wisdom.

    How is that flawed?

    I signed up to this. I read a few issues and it always seemed to be the info-so I was in my 3 months I cancelled-no problems getting my money back.

    I also paid more to get the ten minute trader(£267-I think) its how to bet on the 'markets', ftse, dow etc. I have made money on this-up to about £1000 and growing, and yes you can lose money. I started out with £100 and decided if I lost it all then I would send guide back and count it as a learning experience, but I made money so added more to my account. It also comes with a money back guarantee, but as I was making money I didn't ask for a refund. The guide was easy to understand, I have never looked at anything like this before and could understand what it all meant. It tells you when you should place a bet. You can also email Matt if your stuck at anytime.

    I then paid more to get one of their forex guides-way to complicated-sent it straight back and got my money back.

    I am not related to the shortcut confidential group in any way or get commission or anything(see my other posts talking about setting up a dog pooop scooping business and needing childcare), not in some scam to make you all join!
