    Default Buyer beware- The Green Millionaire (SCAM ALERT)

    I will stop short of calling this a scam, but just so you are aware if you order this book, The Green Millionaire by Nigel Williams. (I refuse to link it)

    It's a nice little spiel how you can "Live Green and Build Wealth Fast with our Free Book" just pay S&H of $1.95. Plus you'll get a free trial of their e-magazine.

    What you will likely miss...

    If you like the valuable content and receiving these free e-magazines, do nothing and your subscription will automatically re-new. ( Isn't that nice of them? ) After a 14 day trial period you will be billed the low price of $89.95 and every 365 days thereafter.


    A low price of $90/year ---right.

    Do not get taken in by this.
    do some research and find:

    It's legal because all the terms are stated up front (just pay shipping, 14 day trial period, etc.). They are selling what they claim they are, too bad if it's information you already know. People don't read the fine print, or their email gets sorted to the spam folder and then they get suckered. There's one born every day. Unfortunately stupidity isn't illegal.

    People waste money on foolish crap all the time. My favorite one is the "internet ready" mouse pad.
