Ren, although what you say may be true, READ THE BOOK...You will see fairly quickly (I hope) that it's B.S. through and through. These (f)suckers would have gotten away with this scam before the internet and are probably (and unforutnately ) getting away with it now in small towns, however it's pure BS no doubt.
Glad to see the one fellow was able to educate his self via this very forum!
