This is also true for many other financial products sold by brokers who want to make a commission.
I couldn’t agree more. This was the entire point of my original post. I received 4 offers in the mail just in the past week for free chicken dinner seminars. It makes perfect sense why TV is a breeding ground for unscrupulous sales tactics. After all, what better place for the fox to set up home if not next to a bunch of chicken coops?
