You get your free cd with others and then you wind up paying $69.95. What they don't tell you is that it takes 3 cd's for the course. And all 3 are just as important. You do have the option of sending one back. But that won't do you a bit of good becasue then you cannot finish the course and you have to pay to ship it back. <span class="mt-export2wp"></span> They are great courses, but you can get scammed easily. Fox news had it on their site so I figured it was safe. Boy was I wrong. You have to visit the website and read the fine print to find out what you will be charged. I was not directed to the site and was not notified of the part of the 3rd CD or $69.95 charge to my credit card. For that matter, I only thought or was told of one cd. It’s a scam!

Also, a rule of thumb that I live by is something that my dad always told me: "if someone tries to give you something for nothing, take as little of it as you can get". Those CD's are marketed as "free", but you just have to pay for shipping. I dunno... sounds awfully fishy to me. I dunno if its a scam, but it sure looks stupid.
