Actually Terry, a fellow called Dimitri persuaded me to sign up. He is supposedly a very successful property investor, and part owner of INVESTMENTSOURCE, he sports a gold ROLEX. He asked me a question:
"If you had discovered a mathematical formula that could turn $30 000 into $1m in 2 years and was proven to work, how much would you sell it for"?
I told him "I wouldn't sell it at all for money". I'm not greedy, but I do have an economics degree. I know that too many people saturating the market and exploiting market inefficiencies naturally creates the efficient market that makes it hard to make abnormal returns.
Eventually Dimitri employed another tactic, he told me:
"I have a proven formula that will turn $30K into $1m in 2 years and will only charge you $685 for it, but I will only teach it to someone committed to achieving their goals, and deserving of such priveledge. Why should I teach it to you, when you have claimed that you would not do so if our situation was reversed"?
I don't know how 'it' happened, but that tactic worked on me!! Stupid, absolutely stupid!!! I spent the next minute telling him why I deserved to be let into this program, how I would donate my billions to charity, that I wasn't materialistic, wealth was just a life's goal for me, and that many people would benefit from my being beneficent, and kindly. I was literally begging him!!!
I told him that if this information he was providing were only available at the top of Mt. Everest, I would be more than willing to climb it 100 times if I had to!!! I would walk barefoot through a scorching desert to discover the secret formula for making money.
As you can see, my greed and willingness to achieve my goals blinded me to reason. I wasn't even very suspicious when they mentioned that they needed the money (almost $15000) the next day. They explained the convention centre needed plenty of time in advance to book the seats.
