We got these "Complimentary VIP" tickets in the mail about a million years ago advertising some "wealth creation workshops" at various hotels around Seattle. We finally got around to calling them to see what the hell this was about and the phone answerer acted completely sketchy. We asked where the Income Strategies Institute is located and she said, "I can't answer that. All I can tell you is: somewhere in Utah."

WTF!?? We asked for a website address or a corporate phone number or anything and she wouldnt give that out. So we googled around and found this hilarious manifesto on ripoffreport.com from somebody who claims to have gone to their workshop. It looks like this was posted a year ago but modified as recently as last month. There seems to be some back and forth with people at the company, like this hilarious missive:

Dave, I remember you. How could I forget you. The Human excuse machine(AKA Lazy Dave). We did our best to help you and now because you are broke and learning disabled you(Dave) are spending a lot of time on this website(and other sites I'm sure). Dave it does not help you to try and trash a company that helps thousands of people turn around their lives forever. Get a hobby,spend time at the beach or in the gym and stop talking trash without any proof or evidence. Give others a chance to change and a great company the chance to help them.

There are not enough hours in the day to read all this, but what little we read was pretty funny.
