Targeting the infomercials
Interested in one of those late-night infomercials? Perhaps the one about investing in tax liens? Maybe the one about buying up foreclosed properties at pennies on the dollar? How about purchasing houses with no money down?
Before spending your money on books, tapes and CDs promising to make you an instant millionaire, take a look at the website www.infomercialscams.com, which posts reviews of all kinds of infomercials, including those wealth-building dazzlers based on real estate.
Complaints are uncensored, as are posts written by infomercial defenders. (The gripers far outnumber the supporters.) So no matter whose side you’re on, they make for a fun read.
