I wasn't sure which forum this belonged in, so if the mods want to move it, okay. I just saw a commercial for the MSNBC show American Greed. This Friday they are doing a show about Kevin Trudeau. I'll be experiencing much schadenfreude while watching it. Steve S

Pitchman in contempt for not paying $37M fine So, he was ordered to stop those infomercials containing false and misleading statements. He didn't. For that failure he was fined $37.6 million. He didn't pay. For that failure, he's now found in contempt and ordered to transfer ownership of...

It's 400am and a show came on the History Channel called "Investigating Free Money". It is supposedly an indepth look at what is actually going on with Kevin Trudeaus "self help" stuff. The show begins with the tone of an investigative journalist trying to expose a conman (kind of like the guy...

Kevin Trudeau lost his appeal today. Full: reuters.com

Kevin Trudeau is on TV with another infomercial. This time it's about some government money that's just sitting around and they can't find anyone to take it. He keeps saying "I'm not making any money off this book or any royalties." I have no reason not to trust Mr. Trudeau so I believe it...

Kevin Trudeau is now selling "Your Wish Is Your Command" a knockoff of "The Secret" It is available for $300 at the Natural Cures store. I saw a glimpse of the infomercial last night. That guy just keeps coming back.

http://www.tmz.com/2009/09/18/jackson-estate-sued-over-herpes-cures/ Obviously a cure Kevin Trudeau doesn't want you to know about.

What the frak? According to RationalWiki, Kevin Trudeau was once heavy into $cientology and this may have influenced his later attempts to scam people into buying his "Natural Cures..." b.s. And I didn't think my contempt for the Cult of $cientology could have gone any deeper :mad:

Did you hear? Kevin Trudeau has been fined $5 million, equivalent to the royalties of his book "The Weight Loss Cure 'They' Don't Want You To Know About" AND banned from doing infomercials AND banned from publishing books that sell any type of product for three years. This stems from a 2004...

I have a friend who keeps trying to tell me about Kevin Trudeau's Natural Cures book. He gets very angry that I don't share his love and appreciation for Kevin Trudeau. My friend is an interesting character in and of himself. This question is not so much about how I can convince my friend...

For an alternative weekly in Edmonton, Canada, I am compiling an info box of the top 5 scam artists that selling pseudoscience, mystical, or straight BS. I want to hear from you guys and who you think should be on this list. If its someone obscure, can you quickly explain why they are so...

Ok, well, maybe not. I'm not sure. Out of all the ridonkulous ideas in "Natural Cures," his claim that sunscreen causes cancer seemed to be one of the most absurd. But I was reading an article on cnn.com today that got me clicking around and there are lots of folks out there claiming that...

http://kevinscures.com/debt-cures-kevin-trudeau-book-reviews-chapter-18/ Accomplished liar and noted scam artist Kevin Trudeau is now selling a book designed to help people in debt. Some of his advice does seem helpful (e.g. keep detailed records of what was said during phone calls with credit...

As I've said a few times before, I'm on a rather wooish e-list. A couple of days ago, somebody posted the contents of an email they'd had. It was selling anti-obesity pills and was full of sciency-sounding garbage about genes (google for 'Obesi-Trim' if you're really interested). I and...

I caught a few minutes of a new(?) informercial where the noted criminal Kevin Trudeau claims that his weight loss secrets, which have been secretly used by celebrities, rich people, and even royalty, allow people to lose 5, 8 or 10 pounds in the first 24 hours. My knowledge of physiology is...

I just bought Natural Cures "They" Don't Want You To Know About What do skeptics and pseudoskeptics here think about this book? Any impartial analysis of it? The only analysis I can find is from people in skeptic clubs.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YN5ihrECJms I never saw this before today. I thought others might enjoy it. I sure did! I love John Stossel and 20/20. They go over how Trudeau blatanly lies, always. They have dissatisfied customers that found no cures in his book. Etc.

What is the best way to debunk Trudeau's "natural cures" to a teenage audience? A friend of mine works with at-risk youth and is concerned that a large number of them are falling for Kevin Trudeau's latest book: More Natural "Cures" Revealed: Previously Censored Brand Name Products That Cure...

I'm trying to e-mail Barnes&Noble about their new Trudeau book that I don't think they should be selling, but their e-mail address isn't public, and can only be used if I give my full name, which I'm not really comfortable doing. How else could I get this letter to them (or, if anyone wants to...

Not only does he have a new book, but if you buy it, you'll get a FREE autograph. I wish Vitamin World was holding the signings because I really like shopping at Vitamin Shoppe. Maybe I can convince my local store to stop carrying the books. At any rate, if lets say there is a protest that...

Trudeau is back, with a new book. Just saw it when I was in Borders today. On the front cover he claims not only to have been 'censored' by the government (hmm, wonder why), but also to be taking on many large entities. I flipped it open for a lark, and landed on a section proclaiming that...

From this thread. It seems that there are a few people on the forum that have been personally affected (Negatively of course) by Kevin Trudeau and his book. I think it's time that something was done about it. Let's get some ideas on starting up a website dealing with exposing Kevin Trudeau...

Randi recently was battling that scammer, Kevin Trudeau, of "Natural Cures 'They' Don't Want You to Know About" fame (or infamy). I doubt many here read the book, figuring it's the usual snake-oil salesman's stuff. Well, according to the recent review in the Skeptical Inquirer, it's much worse...

Heads up; John Stossel rips apart Kevin Trudeau tonight: http://abcnews.go.com/2020/ Stossel was interviewed on our local radio this morning, and based on that, I don't expect any great demonstrations of critical thinking beyond expressing his own incredulity with Trudeau. But we'll be...

I'm lucky. I live fairly equidistant to five different branches of my local library system, and I'm usually at one of them daily. Recently, I've talked to several librarians who are dismayed over the stocking of Kevin Trudeau's book, and concerned over it's popularity. Our library is facing...

I was in an airport over the holidays and saw Trudeau's book in a store called "Global News". I haven't been able to find a way to contact them. Any help?

I'm afraid I have to report that, like Frank Ward's library system, my otherwise excellent local library system, the Fairfax County Public Library (with nearly a million potential patrons), has forty copies of Kevin Trudeau's "Natural Cures"! That's about 2 copies per branch. I've emailed them a...

Kevin Trudeau was on Paula Zahn "NOW" last night and did his "so what, I have a right to my opinion even if it's not true" routine. Paula wasn't super-tough on him or anything and she did flash those great legs of hers :drool: so I forgave her for not gouging his eyes out. Anyway, she did...

has fans on Mothering.com? (must log in to read thread) Man, some of those people wouldn't know ******** if they were standing behind the bull. Although at least a few of them are critical.

In an addendum to the 19-August-2005 Commentary, Randi tells us that Walgreens responded very quickly to Susan Lavery's letter about the awfulness of Kevin Trudeau's book by taking it off their store shelves in record time. Sadly, I fear that this wasn't so much due to a concern over their...
