Scum entrap the ignorant and the greedy in "property seminar"

"Inside Track gives those attending the £2,495 seminar a set of DVDs distilling its main points. Recipients are told they are worth £995. But you can buy them second-hand on eBay for £13.99."

"A great deal was pie-in-the-sky, on the expectation that property prices would continue to grow. And there was scant, if any, discussion of rising interest rates or when you failed to find a tenant"

I can't believe Muppets part with £2500 + expenses to sit and listen to these seminars. It's the ultimate con. The whole thing is laughable.

Sounds like he got £2,500 worth of education to me.
