John W. Scherer - Video Professor Free is not Free Internet
Like many others I was sucked in by the we will send you your first lesson for free just pay shipping and handeling. Oh did we forget to mention the 189.00 we will charge you. So far they have taken me for almost $600.00 Stay away from this product. Nothing is Free!!!
