    The Spencer Michael Consultancy

    Watching this programme on the British Boardcasting Company's light entertainment channel reminded me there is no limit to the gullibility of the human condition. These poor wretched people keep hanging on to the dream of untold riches by a prophet who has seen the light, the immaculate conception of the "big idea". His company gave birth to a hope, a promise, a prayer that the unfortunates crave. And it was all chronicled in a gospel according to the BBC. Unfortunately things got a little messy at the end, but I am sure that can be editted out in years to come, and of course Spencer will rise again ...

        if the deal sounds too good to be true that's because it is too good to be true...

        "Spencer promised us a property portfolio of over 1 million pounds in three months, we've been with him for eight months and we've got nothing except huge debts and massive stress."",

            If he's got a grey afro, he could be a negative of Bobby Ball - an "Anti Bobby"!

                Actually I watched the programme and he seemed to do nothing wrong apart from part fools and their money. No high pressure sales, just spin a "too good to be true" business plan and then put his hand out. Some were falling over themselves to pay him. Not really his fault is it?

                Good luck to the bloke. I'll be a millionaire in only another 11 months. I will. Won't I.... Where's that coonts phone number...
