Anyone know how the scam works?

Answer by Mike
I did a simple research about it. I am not convinced such book exists.
So I’ll answer Yes it is a scam!

I have been looking into this as well.
After looking up the address(1132 Mercer Street Green Bay WI,54303) on USPS zip code finder I was informed that the address “does not exist”.
The way I look at it, if the post office can’t find it, something is up.
To answer johnnyboy3, the scam follows a pattern similar to most scams of this type in that there is always some “insider” information the scammer wants to sell you and he has sold this info to industry insiders for big bucks and now, because he is such a swell guy, he wants to sell it the public at a huge discount. Meanwhile you just need to send him some good faith money(4.95 in John Bell’s case) and there is a trial no risk period and he will refund your money etc. In the mean time he has your C/C # from the initial transaction and after x number of days he is going to charge you full price come hell or high water and good F#@^ing luck getting your money back.

I would say it is. I say this because I answered the five questions as I felt were the best answers and was told I got 5 out of 5 correct. That made me feel good and I read on. Now never mind that I can find no more information about this “plan”.The simple fact is I went back and answered the questions with the most stupid choices and still was 5 correct.. ????? I would guess that once they have an e-mail address to sell and a credit card number you will end up with problems. I say stay clear…You know the old saying about if it sounds too good to be true…..

Knowing quite a bit about spinoffs – which is what the report purports to be about – I bought it.
It’s a real report with valid informaiton. Most of it was taken from Greenblatt’s Genius book and an on-line report called Finding Value in Spinoffs. I was charged the $ 4.95 and have not been charged the remainder as promised. If you’re new to spinoffs, it’s a good synopsis, if you are experienced, there is nothing new. I invest almost exclusively in spinoffs and I am beating the market for almost a decade now and wouldn’t invest any oither way.
In sum, if you do not know how to invest in spinoffs and want to learn – BUT NOTE: it’s not easy and takes lots of work and requires an ability to analyze financial statements and SEC documents – then the book is well worth the $ 97. If you’re not willing to do your own homework – which is what Bell is hoping – Bell will sell you a $ 4,997 annual service that will. Other services are $ 89 a month for Bill Mitchell’s Spinoff Profiles; the Spinoff Report from England, I believe, which is very high priced and Spinoff Advisors which is alwo very high priced. Good luck.

So, Jim L, are you saying this 62pp book is worth the $ 100 investment?
