What about it made you want to join? I'm just curious because I have a soft spot for scams in this industry and try to be super thorough and I'm wondering what pulled you in and made you felt mislead. Also curious if you had/have options to leave with pro-rated or a discount if you don't want to continue?

The results also vary wildly based on the entry bar.
