Wood Working Plan

More on the woodworking plan rip off

As a follow-up to my article about the woodworking plan CD scams, I Googled and searched YouTube a bit more. Man, a search for "woodworking(the numeral 4)home" on Google yields about 284,000 results. Its kind of funny, because next to the search there are several ads for the same "14,000 Woodworking Plans" CD. They all sell the same CD, but are in competition with each other. I would make a wild guess that there are thousands of sites set up selling them.

I really wonder who the guy at the top is? All of the sites claim it is John Metz from Wisconsin. I suspect this is a fictitious name, but someone is making a lot off of this.

Interestingly, that same search, but narrowed to sites within the past few days (since weve been spreading the word), now has sites set up about  "how to detect woodworking scams"...which, of course tell you that there are scammers abound...but the safest thing to do is buy the 14,000 plan CD! Wow, these guys are quick. In fact, if you Google "woodworking scams" guess what sites show up? Yep. Woodworking(4)home.
