Did I tell you I have a fool proof "get rich quick" system? Just send me $5 and I'll tell you how it works

Here is the link and text. This is not my posting. Just one I found.

"Not everyone has the luxury of having a kiteboard shop next door to answer the miriad of questions that new kiters have on this fantastic sport. And most kiteboard shops do not have the staff or time to try to answer all the telephone and email questions that pour in.

I have heard so many newbees tell me that they would gladly pay a small fee just to have someone answer their questions and help steer them in the right direction to get into kiting safely and affordably.

Well, now you can have someone who will offer advice and ongoing help to guide you through the enormous amount of choices. For a $20 flat fee for new kiters I will do my best to offer unbiased opinions on what to buy as far as kites, bars, boards and harnesses. Where to take lessons, what conditions and locations are best for beginners. How to make repairs yourself to bladders, struts, valves and boards and where to send them when DIY repairs are not possible. Where to take lessons and what conditions and locations are best for beginners. Last several newbees asked probably 10-15 questions/emails each (still only a $20 flat fee). Some had been to the shops and just wanted 2nd opinions on gear to buy, new or used, make, model and size. Couple others were looking at cheap internet deals - some were decent kites and a couple were real junk that were released over the past 6 years.

I offer much more advice than ... "OK, you weigh 200 lbs so you need a really big kite and big board" - anyone can tell you that.

I've been lucky enough to demo and work on many different makes and models of kites, boards and bars ... if you already know the difference between 4 and 5 line kites, which are trimmable and which are not (and why that even matters), which kites/years were absolute dogs/crappy/stay away from kites, which boards have had tons of problems, why you would go with a 4 thruster fin design on your directional vs a 3 thruster fin design, which strut and LE valves (by make and model of kite) can be easily replaced/ordered and those that are totally proprietary and you have to factory order pre-assembled OR how you can reglue and which glues to use and how, which bars you can use on any C or bow kite, which bars are total junk that "eat" chicken lines, bar modifications, pulley bars vs direct bars, simple tricks that double the life of your flying lines and chicken ropes .............and many more things that I can't even think of right now. IF you already know all this you don't need me.


I have been kiting since 2002, my quiver includes SLEs, Cs and bows. I ride twin tips and surfboards (strapped and strapless). I travel often and ride everything from the waves and chop of the great lakes (Michigan, Huron, Erie and Ontario) to the awesome waves in the Atlantic and Caribbean and butta-flat waters of the Gulf of Mexico and southern Florida bays. And snow kited in the huge inland lakes of the midwest and Canada and some pretty formidable terrain in Colorado.

I currently work for a licensed and insured school working with new-kiters. I have worked in the water-sports industry for over 30 years (sail, windsurf , surf, SUP, wakeboard and kiteboard / kitesurf). I have personally done hundreds of kite, bladder, valve, bar and board repairs.

If I can be of service just shoot me an email. Paypal accepted.

Good winds to all!"

What's next? Kite helpline at 3.99/min or text kite help to 12345 for a nominal fee of 9.99/month + cash per text?

I don't know if it pisses me off or saddens me...
