This is long, but, who cares?!... OK, Please, try to comprehend some of this. Here goes... This is Kimberlee, a married woman hailing most of my life from New Jersey, (*I'll be 55 this Monday, the 12th of November, 2007, only 4 days away from now and life's not getting any easier or better, as I had hoped it would be), and I must tell you this firstly; 'I am completely embarrassed about having to admit to anyone, let alone myself, that I was so down and out that I did a silly thing like falling for another TV Infomercial'. Look, "no-one's story is short" when you "really" want to know "WHY" anyone would be so destitute that they would feel such a need and felt so compelled to order something like Dean Graziosi's "Think A Little Different" CD Course! It simply sounded so good at the time. It caught me off guard, at a moment of weakness, I suppose. After all, I had seen this infomercial many times without responding or even watching much of it. Everyone feels sorry for themselves at one time or another and sometimes we tend to forget just how "human" we really are and we get so tired of watching others succeed in life whilst we just seem to be ignored or have nothing pan out for us. After working so hard too. Ever feel that way? Ever try to figure out a quick fix scheme to end all the lingering financial dilemmas once and for all? Well, I must confess, that I am guilty for that error in judgement. I have examined my own conscience and my own reasons most carefully. Why, after living so long and achieving recognition for certain God given talents, am I so dumb, at times? We are good people. Pay our taxes early. Never do things unlawful or corrupt, still salute the flag, are very patriotic and yet feel so left out of living well somehow. Why? I mean, we still believe in America the Beautiful and in the Constitution and in our culture, our domestic sovereignty and in our short, but illustrious history, from 1492 to the present day. We believe in George Washington, Abraham Lincoln and all the fine patriots that formed the backbone of a society that once stood for fairness and proud freedom. For it's not easy to stay free and we lost so many millions of lives to keep it so, though we are losing our freedoms at a daily pace under this government, for decades now, on both sides! Democrats and Republicans are both as corrupt as one can get. Is it any wonder why someone would try to get rich quick when they see our politicians doing it right in your face and flaunting it with all the arrogance that high society can muster?! Even though they once came from the basic ranks or general citizenry? Just look at the current Governor of New Jersey, just to name one. How did a simple man get so wealthy, after getting into politics? How do they all fare so well thereafter? On "our" dime! That's how! With all their wheeling and dealing! To name another unprincipled character, I am old enough to remember the nation before "Ted Kennedy" became a most devious fixture in our Senate, kept there by sympathy votes, only because of his assassinated brothers and not by his own achievements. (*a most vile man who cheated, conspired, lied, deceived, murdered and used treachery to rise high into politics, riding on the coattails of death and who still holds a seat he does not deserve. If you really want to know why we are in such a mess today, look no further than "Ted Chapaquitic Kennedy and his 1965 Immigration Policy, which should be changed back the way it was, if you want to save this country) He forever changed our Immigration Laws and forced a new policy upon us all in 1965 which states that America will no longer be accepting Europeans, but more peoples from Asia, the Middle East, from Africa and South America which was made much worse by both Presidents, Bush Senior and his son, Dumbo! This still stands as law and he still is trying to end America, along with George Bush's family, the Rockefellers and other bankers and corporations who need a new breed of slave labor to feed their gluttonous extravagant lives. We do not go anywhere due to high gas prices and bills and wonder why, because we used to be able to do much more, before the government taxed us to death, or should I say, robbed us to fill their own pockets. (*Waiting for a miracle that never seems to come.) Suffering with not even enough to eat sometimes and can't get help for anything, while illegals reap in the benefits of the high taxes we can hardly afford to pay! We see them frequently with shopping carts overloaded with groceries everywhere! Now, both my husband's family and my own family have forefathers who were here since the late 1600's, before this nation was forged. One of my father's grandmothers was an Iroquoi Native American Indian. We've always tried hard to do things on the up & up and on the level and thus have a clear conscience. As I have stated, we seriously do love and respect this nation and all the lives given in it's defense of keeping her free and safe for us all. But, you, who also care about America should look into the "North American Union"! Go to "YouTube" and watch "all" the videos by typing in: NORTH AMERICAN UNION. You may be surprised to find that America will end being a sovereign nation in 2010! That's why we have open borders!!! You must see those videos! (*Back to the reason "why" we bought the Graziosi CD Course)... We simply had a streak of bad luck ever since 2005, due to Jeffrey getting fired after serving faithfully for well over 22 years at his place of employment! He, along with about 60-to-75% of his fellow workers, were all let go, due to illegals taking their jobs and due to the company changing it's operations. So, I went to dental tech school and graduated as Valedictorian, (perfect grades and attendance and recieving a deploma for health from Rutgers University as well), just to find out that all the Dental Tech jobs went to places like, Guatamala, and elswhere! I couldn't get placed here at all. (Thanks to NAFTA! Who knew Ross Perot, the person who ran for President, would be so right about that! He always warned us and said that President Bush's father's NAFTA would ruin us and it has! But, who knew it was just the start of something much bigger. The North American Union!) That will effect us all. So, look it up and pass the word, as I am trying to do here. Now to get to Dean Graziosi's "Think A Little Different" CD's etc... We were called, after we made the expected phone call at: 1-800-791-2455; extension 900 and a man, sounding hyper, like Dean does, introduced himself and went on asking us, if we were motivated and wanted to be successful in real estate, to which we both, my husband and I, replied, of course we do. That's why we purchased this course! Well, he went on and on, asking us about our financial situation, our home equity, about our credit rating, about how we would need to put up some cash or place $5,000.00 on a credit card to give to him to mentor us, step by step, through our first property purchase. We explained to him that we were very proud not to own credit cards, as we owed nothing to them and had gotten rid of all credit cards, because we hate bankers! (*They rob all of us with their relentless pursuit of our money and will stop at nothing to obtain it! This is why they are now coming out with the new paperless payroll debit card that eliminates paper money and checks, but, has high fees after you get hooked!!! They offer it to your boss for free, just to get started and you only get credits on a card that you must use!) We explained to this man on the 800 number that the reason we ordered this course, "Think A Little Different", was to try to "make" money, not to be in debt trying to pay out thousands of dollars!!! My sister's house is full of "INFOMERCIAL ITEMS"! So, I do know that people get sucked into these every day! But, she can afford it. But, we can't right now. We already went through a similar episode in our life when, several years back, we fell for the "DIRECT BUY" Infomercial!!! That also almost cost us $5,000.00, as well!!! After being led through a warehouse that was empty and only had books of items to view, we got skeptical and quickly withdrew our membership and owed no money thereafter. We luckily had proof that we cancelled on time, or they would have robbed us, like this course is trying to do. Now, this Dean Graziosi's Course is asking us to do the same thing! Money for nothing! My husband was told to get a credit card ASAP! Even though we told him we do not like dealing with credit cards, he still insisted that we should get one now. He even stated, several times, that my husband was not to use the card to even buy me a pair of shoes with it!!! That it was mainly for him! A man I never met, saw or even spoke to before! He kept telling my husband not to buy me shoes, for some reason! I'd hate to be "HIS" wife!!! Yikes! Talk about keeping a woman barefoot and pregnant!!! His poor wife must need shoes badly by now! So, we looked up this site and I simply started writing! When he calls next week, as he said he would, and they always do call, until you give them your money!!! I shall simply say, No Thank You. We can do it alone, as my husband even told the man on the phone, ways to get real estate that I didn't know my husband even knew about! After all, he does have a degree in banking and finance! I should've asked my husband, rather than purchasing this course!!! (*One thing to note: If you do some research, you can do it alone! These guys are only trying to make money off of people in dire need and that's criminal in my book!!!)

Previous users of this product articulate my experience with the Think A Little different product. Beware... I have found the information contained in the product to be ineffective and inefficient for my needs. This is due primarily to the intellectual level of the data provided. It is basic and truly uninformative for even "serious" real estate newbies. Although I purchased Think A Little Different, I say to any perspective purchasers, "caveat emptor". Additionally, caveat vendor Mr. Graziosi et al, your product is held to public scrutiny and found lacking based upon the apparent inadequecies, which deny your advertisements. We desire our money back based upon numerous false statements relative to your Think A Little Different product.

I purchased the Dean Greedyosi's program and have been trying to make a profit from his so called techniques. It has only cost me from the beginning. I purchased the program and just intended to spend the $39.99 for the package. Before I was off the phone I ended up spending almost six hundred dollars to get the website package. They convince you that money will just pour into your mailbox. Well I watched my website getting bigger and I wasn't getting any email or cash in the mail. After about 3 months of trying to get in touch with someone. I was told that the Dean Program was no longer owned by Dean and the new twist was some type of commission based program. In other words they can't help me. When you call the phone number the recording still said "Think a little Differently." The next person that I spoke to told me that they can be my mentor but I would have to be willing to spend $4500 for the mentoring program and they would help me to buy my first property and make sure that I would make the money back. They suggested that I can borrow the money and if I was serious about it I would take out a credit card. I told him I am here to make money and have been with the program for 2 years. I also told him that I own a 20 acre property in GA that I bought at a great deal and would like for him to help me profit from that. I said if they could help me do that then I would be able to invest more. The response was I just need to find a way to pay the $4500 and then they would be able to help me. I used to rely on the 1-800-427-6026 which was just a voice mail line and someone would get back with you in a week or two if you left a hundred messages. However, that number seem to no longer exit and calling the 1-800-973-3714 does help either. They told I am with the old program and they can't help. I still have the website [] and I am still trying to atleast make back the money I have invested in the program. The website for support was scrapped and I even lost my domain name that is dear to me and my family. I had to pay $180 to get it back. Now I fear that this is going to happen again and no one is going to be able to help. Dean if I could get my $600 dollars back and keep my domain name I would be happy. If I am successful I wouldn't credit any of it to your program, and I am just being honest. I have a ton more to say, but the more I write is the angrier I get. So I stop here. Sincerely, Floyd

I saw the infomercial on tv and decided to try the product. The commercial leads you to believe this product is a package of cds, dvds, and books that will guide you through Dean's system to making money at real estate. I was intrigued. The first phone call to order my 39.95 dollar package added up to 160 dollars for extras that they said I needed if I was serious about the course. They told me that a mentor would contact me in the near future to help me in the course. I received the package: several cds of Dean talking about how his system is the greatest because it's proven by him. He talks about how easy it is over and over. Before you know it you've listened to the cds and one dvd to find that there are no tutorials or multi-media that show you anything. There are also 3 books in the package that have some information about real estate facts. This information in the books could be found online for free. The day after I ordered: I received calls for magazine sales among vacation packages. I still, after 1 week receive phone calls from a 1-866 number every hour. Nobody is on the other end. The mentor, Dustin Turley, said he needed to make sure I was serious before I talked to his manager, Darin Wickens. Darin Wickens informed me about the tuition of approximately 4000 dollars. It sounded like if I was "serious" then I would pay more. When I said that I didn't have the money for the tuition then he became indignant and told me if I would grow up and make some serious decisions in my life then I would come up with the money and participate in his program. The phone call ended with him yelling at me that I had wasted his time. Dustin Turley: 1-800-860-8068 ext:5715 and Darin Wickens: 1800-860-8068 ext:5712. I'm going to try and get my money back. Oh and if you participate you'll probably end up terribly in debt and lonely like Dustin and Daren told me I would if I didn't get serious about their program.

After listening to an infomercial in the middle of the night one sleepless night, I fell for Dean (con-man) Graziozi's very embellished line of real estate diatribe. Among other things, it promises a "Free Web Site" , which after three attempts to get them to set it up failed. You must listen to me: They are interested in nothing more than getting your credit or debit card number and running subsequent charges that are so hard to reverse that you become appathetic and give up. I did receive a small kit of pamplets and a couple of CD's. They are so elementry in nature that all they do is refresh your memory of the most rudementry facts of real estate, and Dean Graziozi tells his self effacing stories to suckers that are unwittingly going to receive more calls from more of Dean's associates attempting to swindle more money from you. When I asked for the third time to have my promised , Free Web Site set up, I was confronted with an indignint person named Chris who was not interested in anything except gettiing me to meet in a group in an attempt to swindle more money from me and others. When I said that I wasn't ready to buy real estate yet, he became very indifferent. Dean completly mis represents this product by claiming that it contains certain real estate information that can only be activated by thinking differently. It is an entry level piece of trash that might be slightly useful for a late teen or first time home buyer who is so oblivious to real estate that they require a "baby sitter". Any real estate agent knows everything contained in this lame literature. In my opinion, it's worth about $10.00 . Do Not Get Swindled. At this writing, i'm fighting with my bank to credit me a $19.95 fee that I have no idea what it's for, except to make Graziozi more rich and me more poor. Mike Nashville TN
