I have been seeing infomercials for some get rich quick thing. Their website is 17makethemoney.com. They don’t give a lot of information about what the whole thing is about. But do offer to send a free DVD.
I went to the website and filled out the info for the free DVD. They ask more questions than I would have thought. I got an email from someone there within a couple hours. Apparently they tried to call me using the phone number I left on the form. Apparently, I had accidently filled out the phone number with my old area code. I am not sure I like them calling me within hours of frequesting a free dvd. I just wanted more information about what the program was about. A phone call that fast seems kind of hard sell. My first instinct is that that the whole thing is designed to make the 17makethemoney.com people rich, not the customers.
I haven’t decided whether I will reply back with my correct phone. I may reply back and tell them send the DVD then we’ll talk.
I emailed the woman (Stacie) back. She agreed that I should see the DVD then we would talk. She said the phone call was to see if we were a match, because she would be working with me if I chose to persue the program. She referred me to a different web site to order the free training package. So I went to that website. They show a training package on the webpage. It looks more like a VHS tape in the picture though. In order to get the training package, you have to pay $9.95 FedEx next day shipping. If you don’t return it within 14 days from the date of shipping, you will be billed for $29.95.
I will have to watch the commerical closer next time to see exactly what they say.
I am wondering if this is what the home business is. Maybe this Stacie ordered the package, then set up her website, and then a portion of the people requesting the free dvd are referred her way. And if she manages to sell the free DVD, she gets a cut.

You can send me the free DVD but please do not call or email me to death. Thanks.
