seminar of any use

Hello all, I got an unsolicited fax from Super Selective Computer Training for a QuickBooks seminar. Can anyone give me some advice if this company's seminars are the real thing.

Thank you.

I hate unsolicited faxes. They must be some scum outfit. Do not trust them.

While I don't approve of unsolicited Faxes, this company appears to be legitimate:

Their web site lists upcoming seminars around the US and Canada. I would probably contact the hotel where I wanted to attend to be sure their plans are legitimate and that they have contracted with them in the past.

Charge the tuition to a credit card so you can dispute it if they don't deliver.

I would imagine any company specializing in educating people in this specific area (QB) would have a day of material worth the tuition.

Quite useful. You can trade the unsolicited fax for $500 at your local small-claims court. The penalty could be as much as $1500 for egregious violations.

See here (and other "junk fax" qualifiers):

If I could collect it, $500 for every junk fax I receive would put my struggling little repair shop in the black.

I have a file folder labeled "Junk Fax", which is fairly full. I will take $50 each for as many of the faxes contained as you want to buy, if it's cash.

That's 90% off!

I have Life Insurance, T-Shirt's, Healthcare Plans, Refinance offers...

I've gotten judgements on seven (and collected on four). It's dirt simple. You take a copy of the federal law* (and a small fee) to your local small claims court and talk to the clerk. In the fullness of time, you get a judgement.

Sorry, I don't buy them, but this outfit does:

"You may be able to obtain cash for some of your junk faxes that you submit to us."

Smart move.

If you are interested in a good seminar, stick with one from Intuit or Sleeter. Intuit offers some freebies too.
