An Infomercial Advertising an Infomercial

This morning at 8 am Central time, I saw an informercial on tv called "Millions Are Being Paid Out". The claim of this advertisement half-hour is you get paid weekly, you can get $5,000 bonus checks, and you can work from home. There is a $35 setup fee with a 60-day risk-free guarantee. But guess what? You have to call a toll-free number to find out what the specific product is! Also, there is the claim that when you call the number, the complete program will be explained in less than 7 minutes.

What kind of advertisement is an advertisement for an advertisement? I think this is a load of I don't know what, but the informercial does not even mention what the opportunity is; you have to call the number! Also the host of the infomerical says you can try the entire program 100% risk-free. 100% risk-free? Oh, that makes me feel better! What? Is there 50% risk-free, 25% risk-free, less than 1% risk-free?

Now the testimonials. One of the testimonials says he made money just sending people to his website, and another says he wakes up and passes out cards and gets checks in the mail. Website and cards for what? Obviously, it is for some product. What, I don't know. About the testimonials, the fine print on the tv says that this is each person's unique experience, so of course results vary. I see this in a lot of infomercials. Are they saying that just because the people on the informercial say they were successful that you may not be? I guess this fine print is just some disclaimer so you don't sue after they scammed you out of your hard-earned money. What I have to ask is, have the people you've seen give their testimonials actually seen the informerical before with different people giving testimonials about the same product, or are they just paid to claim they were successful? If this is the case, they can pay me to claim I was successful with the product. How could these people giving their testimonials claim to be convinced by testimonials when this is the only informerical relating to "this product" and the informercial repeats whenever.
