Look their product up, look at their story, and consider this joke: "Do you want to be a millionaire? If so send me $10 and I'll send you the instructions." Let me put it this way: if someone came to you and their story was t

I’ve never met an artist who would prefer to make money by making a mockery of their art. Only people who are already dead inside do this (which, admittedly, some in poverty are).
