Video Professor Top 10 ~ Updated!
Top 10 things I ‘ll bet you didn’t know about the Video Professor!
- He used to be president of the Hair Club for Men! I did not know that!
- He’s smart! Likens using his products to be as simple as using the controls on a VCR!
- He’s Clever! He is so clever that he buries a $69.99 a month subscription into the fine print for anything you order!
- He’s sneaky! He will charge you for products long before you receive them even if you never explicitly ordered them!
- He’s witty! He says things like “Buy my product”!
- He’s generous! Gives away lots of free stuff, for only $69.99 a month! Plus shipping and handling.
- He’s easy to deal with! It only takes an average of 4 phone calls and threats of reports to his local BBB before he will cheerfully refund the overcharges on your account!
- He’s prompt! Your order will arrive on the same day that your 10 day trial period expires!
- He’s slick! Just return ONE cd from the set to avoid being charged, keep the rest! Who the fuck wants a broken set???
- He’s a top notch scam artist and an asshole that will stop at nothing to trick you out of your hard earned money by any means possible! Gotta love him!
Update - Since I wrote this post I decided to do a bit of looking around, here’s a site that explains a lot more about his deceptive sales technique Video Professor Scam.
Who in their right mind would willingly sign up for a freekin’ $69.99 a month subscription for PC lessons on a CD? Nobody! That’s why they have it buried in the fine print, and to top it off they don’t even give you the option of choosing which one they will send next! Every 5 weeks they will send a new one, at random apparently, and charge you for it before it arrives and then they will claim that you waited too long to return it even though you didn’t even get it by the time the 10 day trial period is over WTF???
I have to admit though that the lessons are not all that bad but they run off of the CD itself, not installed on your hard drive, so everytime you want to go forward or back a page or 2 (using the stupid VCR like controls) you have to wait while your CD drive churns to refind the page you were looking at just a minute ago, what a pain in the ass!
I did finally get my money refunded… after they held it another nearly 3 weeks before it showed up in my account.
Bastard!

But he looks so grandfatherly on tv!!
He reminds of Orville Redenbocker. Only dude would be the evil twin.
Smooshes my lovely:)
what a smarmy fucker!
LOL, had a good laugh. I agree he looks so innocent on TV.
He reminds me of an evil Wilford Brimley when I see the commercials on t.v…… he annoys me so much!
He reminds me of Bartles… or was it James?
hmmmmmmmmm
Surgery starts at 10am.
Thought I’d swing by to say hi before I carry my worn out self to bed.
Glad you got your money back… would have hated to have to kill that jerk-off. LOL
How annoying… these companies suck bro - at least when you get ripped off on the porn sites you feel somewhat satisfied!
Good thing you finally got your refund!! Total bastard. Its good you’re spreading the word about it all being a rip off!
Happy Hump Day
*hugs*
You’re smarter than them anyway. Who needs it?
I missed a lot over the weekend.
Sorry about the hep C.
I’ve pondered a few times about the Video Professor, but didn’t want to pay $7 for the shipping. That and I always find the tutorials I need on Google.
oh, man, you were duped!!
loved the list though!
That is why I never believe anything on TV that is being sold.
You seem far too savvy to even bother with a “system” such as this… what’s up se7en?
Kristin= LOL, yeah but he might be a freekin’ child molester too! it’s always the innocent looking fuckers… hahaha
thequeen= hehe, all he needs is a bow tie!! smooshes to you too!!
Rachael= I was pretty well shocked when I realized what a freekin’ scammer he turned out to be grrrr!!
Colleen= I know I’ll never order anything from him again blah!
Tricia= hi sweetie!! Thanks for reminding me about Josh, I hope it all goes well!!! smooches babe!!
Tesco= LOL yeah! you got that right!
Karen= yeah, it would piss me off even more if any of you guys got scammed by his sales tactics too!! Happy Hump Day to you too!!
OHS= thanks pal!! and you’re right, I didn’t really need it anyway.
Micki= I’m glad you didn’t!! hehe you cheapskate!! LOL just kidding!!!
Dawn= thanks!!
Blue= hey man!! I’m a lot more careful now, It pays to read the fineprint carefully sometimes hehe
Rachael= it wasn’t for PC lessons in general, it was a course on HTML that I felt I needed to brush up on after my 2 years of serious illness. The scam with him happened to me last year as I was starting to recover just enough to start getting back online after all that time away from my PC. I had forgotten how to do a lot of stuff. But I’m more than caught up now! woohoo!!

Wow, I had no clue about that guy. He looks so sincere on TV. I always thought he was just a sincere man, offering to help us out - and for free! What an eye-opener! Thanks for letting me know about him. That a**hole!
I hate that guy. When my parents got their first computer ten years ago or so they paid $ for something put out by is guy. First of all, I don’t think watching a CD is an effective way for most people to learn to use their computer. We need hands on - one to one - show me and then watch me to see if I did it right - that works much better. The “Professor” shoulda stayed on Gilligan’s Island.
