In September 2006, I purchased a Pathfinder Tax Strategy and Asset Protection Course from Pathfinder Business Systems (PFBS) (Sebastian, FL) via Amsco Marketing LLC. Subsequently, I was sent 4 CDs and an Incorporating Brilliance Book. The Incorporating Brilliance book was the written form of the 4 CDs. I reviewed the information in the book as I listened to the CDs. Based on the information in the book, I took many notes on asset protection. In late September 2006, I met with my attorney to review the notes to determine the best course of action to protect my personal assets. After reviewing several pages in the book, my attorney informed me that the information was outdated. Specifically, my attorney stated that the information detailed in the Incorporating Brilliance book was "pre George W Bush" and used the terms "misinformation" and "consumer rip-off". Based on my attorney's comments, I came to the conclusion that I could not trust any tax or asset protection recommendations that would be provided to me in the 6 Pathfinder coaching sessions that I would have received. Therefore, I contacted Pathfinder Business Strategies LLC to inform them that I was canceling my agreement with their company due to the misinformation provided in the Incorporating Brilliance book and CDs. I also informed PFBS that I had contacted my credit card company to cancel payment.
The final result was the credit card company only supported me on half of the coaching couse cost because I had broken the seal on the CDs and booklet. The question that I raised to the credit card company was how would anyone know if the information is accurate if they do not read the book and listen to the CDs? The credit card company responded that PFBS's policy was that only half of the course cost would be refunded if the seals were broken.
I felt violated but was happy to receive a refund for half the cost of the coaching.
I strongly recommend that people conduct their own due diligence prior to dealing with Pathfinders Business Systems. Remember, the old adage that states that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.
Fortune Learning Systems and their business development center in Utah are a total scam
It looks, taste and acts like a scam.
Some home business systems can actually work in your favor, some are also a scam. It would take a lot researched to find out if one that seems real actually is or if it is a scam.

I personally feel that it is not a scam. However when you receive such kinds of mails just be a little careful.

The best source to determne whether home based business opportunites are bonafide or a scam is to contact the Better Business Bureau. Consumer Reports could also be another helpful source of validating a business.
