Trust, but verify. When making any deal, the parties involved should try to get as much information about the expected outcomes as possible and weigh the risks of doing business. Manage the risks and don't be a victim. Jaeson is checking references and has turned up none here. Could be a risk and probably needs to investigate further. It could be a scam or it could be legit. Is $239 worth it to find out? When do you stop chasing facts and follow instinct? When is it safe to cave into desire and curiosity?
