 ;D wouldn't touch it with a barge pole, just ask on here and get the same knowledge for free, but please do some research before you ask questions.

Even the style of the way the advert is written is corny. There have been so many of these type  of schemes for everything from selling cars to worm farming.

The line is usually something like this, "five years ago I was in debt and about to lose my house, then by chance I hit on a scheme which has made me rich..............."

but the bottom line is always the same, send me your money, and I will tell you how you too can do it.

I ought to write an e-book and sell it for £5. I'll bet I know more about window cleaning than him.

be fair to the guy,    for your £99 hes gonna tell you what equipment to buy and WHAT NOT TO BUY which is woirth the £99 alone  ;D ;D

I can remember going out to buy some w/c equipment and came back with a microwave oven so its really good to know for just £99 he can tell me what to buy,   wonder if he can fix microwaves ?   ;D ;D ;D

but the real deal clincher for me is the fact that he's gonna put his number on my speed dial  so not only is he gonna tell me what not to buy but hes also gonna be my friend  ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

I don't think its bad value at all - if you are a newbie then having someone show you how to canvass and clean windows is well worth the money.

£25k - some on here do that a month apparently!

In essence thats what it is, a magnet for newbies and their money, and there are plenty of them. So lets decide, is he a very nice man wanting to help all those people out of work or is he just out to exploit them?

Answers to me on the back of a cheque for £99. First out of the hat wins a free day out cleaning all my customers windows unpaid which we will call work experience.

If you notice, it's written with American terminology "Heck" etc - typical selling scam.
Never seen a window cleaner that attractive, sure she would be good for business  8)
