Yeah, I believe so. They changed to 011Guru or something. I don't believe they are online anymore.

yep saw the infomercial the other night at like 3am. No mention of his name until you called the 800 number. But the way the infomercial was run, you could tell it was his work

"Shortly after purchasing the package customers were bombarded by telemarketers offering additional psychic, dating, entertainment, and chat 900 lines, plus free Web sites all requiring additional investments of up to several thousand dollars."

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Don_Lapre

LOL that's nuts. I wonder if online adult companies use these tactics.

"Much of the information in the package, such as newspaper phone numbers, was so old it was inaccurate. Virtually no one made any money during the short time that this idea lasted."

Lykos 09-23-2006 11:34 PM

dont have idea,lol

NTSS 09-23-2006 11:57 PM

I made 100 bucks from signing up 1 affiliate...think i sold about 8 bottles of vitamins...12 more to go and I get 1k....lol

Gaybucks 09-24-2006 03:29 AM

Dunno if anyone remembers, but before the "You can make TENS OF THOUSANDS of dollars from placing TINY CLASSIFIED ADS" campaign, Don Lapre was on TV in another crappy infomercial.

This one was selling some $40 book in which he told you how to track down people who were owed refunds on prepaid mortgage insurance, and somehow trick them into giving you 40% of the refund they were owed in exchange for telling them where to file for their refund.

That scam didn't last long either.
