Osprey4,
Truth in advertising laws were written so that you can not profit from snake oil. Of course I do not know how they get away with as much as they do.
However profiting from someones affliction is not ok by me. You take people at a weak point in their life and offer them hope. Perhaps they should be more aware of scams. But I would liken it to someone who has cancer being offered a false cure when others give them no hope. The people are going to jump on that cure. This false hope for profit is about the cruelest of crimes.
Wheter it is cancer, or taking money to get someone out of debt, or even just praying on someones greed you product should do what it says or you should at least believe so or you should go to jail.
Intentionally preying on someones weakness is cruel nasty and generally sub human. This is not my humble opinion, it is fact.
