Fear Mongering marketing, multiple, passing, getting, letters

cmacedo

Is anyone else tired of getting multiple solicitations from prep providers every week?

I get 1-2 per week from Kaplan alone. Most read: '60% of candidates FAIL the CFA Exam', in large, fear-invoking letters. No sh*t. There's no news there.

The last one read "without Schweser, QBank, [etc], candidates have no chance of passing the exam". Really? What a crock of sh*t. I'm not denying study aids have some value, but their marketing ploy amounts to little more than fear mongering.

I got an email from the Nigerian lottery authorities that said I won $10,000,000 M USD and a free copy of Schweser's Qbank. All I have to do is give them my credit card to handle the processing/shipping of $7.95. Did you get the same offer? It seems awesome!


lol !
