Hi,
Has anyone become familiar with this association? They are into
dispensing information (at a cost) in a direct marketing motif to
educate people on the Federal Reserve Bank, offshore/foreign
investing, common law, reducing/eliminating taxes, what the US
Constitution means to "YOU", etc. The claim is there is substantial
money-making power in the information they have to offer and there
seems to be an anarchist feel to it (which I find somewhat
intriguing).
I have more research to do on it but I do have a sense of trust in
the
person that introduced me to the concept. The fellow leading the
organization is Keith Anderson and they have all their seminars in
the
Caribbean or Mexico. It costs $1250 to get their first 12 hours of
audiotapes of information.
A while back there was a thread here about making money in offshore
investing. Any connection between those posts and this organization?

Dear Rick:
Watch out for anyone who feels that they have to hold their "seminars"
(see: sales pitch) offshore.
Do not give them any money until you have all the facts from several
reliable independent sources.
If I were you I'd find out where they are incorporated, check their D&B
rating, check with the SEC and the State Attorney General's securities
bureau in whatever state they are making their initial offering in. Check
with the FTC and the BBB.
Beware of multi-level distributorships and get-rich-quick schemes. Beware
of franchises and dealerships. The only one who usually makes any real
money in these schemes is the original promoter.
IF IT SOUNDS TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE IT IS USUALLY A SCAM.
