morning while getting ready for work. Sounded good - actually - too good to be true, so I
did a websearch on Carlton Sheets. Top of the list was infomercialscams.com. After reading
the complaints am I glad I didn't call. Talking with some engineers at work this morning
and one had a relative who had similar difficulties with Sheets's organization as reported
here. I don't know if Sheets or some companies he uses is the problem and I don't really
care, but, I consider myself very lucky not to have taken the risk.

watched this informercial last night and was going to order (Natural Cures), but then
decided to do a little research on the net first and am I glad I did. I have a limited
income and do not need to spend any money on scams! Thanks for speaking up!
5/6/2005 - Sarah writes: I think I speak for everyone when I
say THANK YOU!! What a awful scam. I think the worst thing about this course is Carlton
Sheets commerical doesn't target wealthy people, but the ones who cherish every dime they
have. We then willingly sign up for this scam to try and make a living the
"easy" way. He says in the commercial "I was out of work and in serious
credit card debit" SURE!! I think Mr. Sheets has it all wrong your suppose to steal
from the rich and give to the poor. Not steal from the poor to get rich!!

mr. beck is doing the nation dry...forget that, thanks to all for saving me from making a

in the wee hours this morning and decided to check it out on the web. Well, first I
actually went to www.johnbeck.tv. Well, I was
going to order the books for a $39.95 feee, I figured , why not. As soon as I saw
his website is not a secure site, I decided not to put my credit card information on it.
Then I did a search on the web and came up with all this scam business. Glad I did!
Sorry for all the people he is taking advantage of.

2/16/2005 - Michael writes: I'm betting you recieve email
after email from people who read your website too late to save themselves the hassle
they've been victim to as a result of not seeing it in time. I thought for a change
you might like to recieve one from someone who hasn't. I saw Carlton Sheets
infomercial every night for the past week and I've been giving serious consideration to
calling the number and getting the course. I'm in a precarious financial situation
right now and I've been looking to get into real estate investing to become self employed.
I do two things when I see an infomercial and have an urge to buy the advertised
product. first, I smash myself in the face 30 or 40 times with a golf club, and if I
still have the urge, I do a google search for the name of the person pushing the product.
In this case, a google search of the name "Carlton Sheets" came up with
this as the first result, in big red letters "INFOMERCIALSCAMS.COM" I decided
right then! that I wasn't buying the course and now that I've read what your
correspondents have to say about it, I'm glad I didn't... THANK YOU! Just so
you know I'll continue to persue real estate as a career option, but will seek reputable
sources for information, for now, that's limited to information freely available on the
web. thank you again.

10/18/2004 - Jill writes: Hello. I an so glad I found your
website. I saw the infomercial on TV the other night, (had never seen entire thing),
and thought I might try and call. Oddly, C.S. claims you can buy real estate with NO CASH,
NO CREDIT, NO EXPERIENCE. And yet, in order to call, you MUST be able to provide a
Credit Card #. I guess although it is possible to buy real estate w/o credit, it is
not possible to buy the C.S. program without it. Go figure. That struck me as odd, and now
I see your site. Whew! Am I glad I didn't call!

but I am glad I looked at this website before doing anything rash, like ordering the kit.
the old saying, if it seems too good to be true, it is, is appropriate here. All
these slimes prey upon people's need for money, the desire to get rich quick, and the
false belief that those who are rich want to help you! they don't! they would
keep it allfor themselves. I know everyone is angry, and asks how can this scum
sleep at night. Well, easy, I guess. Some people have no soul. There time will
come. thanks for warning me off. I will send good thoughts and requests for justice into
the universe for all of you...

purchasing a real estate program such as John beck's "Free & Clear" until I
hit this site. I wonder if so many people have so many problems with this company
why would they be not be shut down. Why would he continue to advertise on reputable
television networks, surely they would have some kind of ethic's question if John Beck's
organisation received so much bad press. I guess he pays his advertising bill's. How
come a class action suit has not been filed, American's are so good at litigation.

but I am just naive and gullible enough to fall for $2500 or even the $3700 fee for the
real estate business. We have been seeing the infomercial for months and thought it would
be a good way to supplement our income. In fact I just did a Google Search for the
Free and Clear web site when I found this site. So thank you all once again, because we
never had a clue that it was a scam.

before i became a victim of Mr SCAMS (John Beck) programs or what is not a program. I even
ask the sales person on the phone if there was more to buy after spending the $52.90 and
she was like no i dont think so. So i ask her if she had a number i could call to find out
and she gave the E-Mail address that everyone says dosent work............... I sure do
feel bad for the people who got taken in by this scam did anyone report this to there
State's Attorney General as this sounds like Wire Fraud...Mail Fraud...Interstate Commerce
Fraud.....Credit Cards = Bank Fraud......and I am sure the gov. can come up with atleast
30 or 40 more charges

more investigating before we ordered it. Thank you so much for bringing so much to our

I wish I'd known you were there before I bought Pest Offense! I DID read and

indeed seem to ATTRACT the critters! I finally mailed the thing back to its maker
(certified, return receipt requested) with the roach droppings attached to it.
Except for the green return card, I never DID hear back from the manufacturer. It
was indeed, as others have said, an expensive nightlight.

it is too soon to know if I will receive it or not, but I will send it right back when I
get it. If I don't receive my money back with satisfaction, I will file a compaint with
