I saw Montel Williams on the ad and didn't give it another thought. As one who has filed his share of rip-off reports on here it never occurred to me to come and check out this outfit. It was as if I was thinking somehow that if some celeb could act sincere in a commercial I had nothing to worry about. DUH!!! Can you say "Martha Stewart"? Looks so sweet on TV but is a convicted felon and those who know her say she would sell out her own mother for 5 cents.
Let's remember that just because they are celebrities that does not mean they are honest, law abiding, and functional decent members of society. I mean let's face it. Stardom has its share of spoiled-rotten, pampered, self-centered and elitist human garbage. Watch the bios and it seems rare to find someone who really tries to be a decent member of society. There are those, thankfully, but also plenty who get arrested for driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol, or for spousal abuse, and/or various and sundry other crimes against society.
Anyway, back to how the Montel trap had me for a while. I got all the way to where I was to fill in my bank routing and checking account number and I had yet to even see where they tell me how much I was going to pay in interest. It was so nebulous, so like they were keeping me in the dark about the real nitty-gritty, that it was first then when I was to give them some really private and personal info that I stopped and asked myself WTF am I doing???
But at least I got them back. They got my email address and they kept spamming me even though I stopped the application process before it was completed. Good thing Yahoo takes spam seriously and now their crap goes automatically to the Junk folder, and hopefully it will soon be so Yahoo-wide — if it isn't already.
