Another Scam?

As PK pointed out in a previous comment, many seem to have been the recipients of an email from Jack Manhire - but, unfortunately, it's not an email promising a refund to purchasers of the Essential Catholic Classics (or the long promised books). It's yet a another promotional ad (money making scheme?) from AWeber Communications using the names and email addresses of those who subscribed to the Classics and possibly to the now defunct ProLifeSearch.com.

Here is the email:

Hi [sucker],

I came across a curriculum guide that let's you teach your kids at
home for K-11. And of course, it doesn't cost you anything to get
it.

http://www.askataxattorney.net/home-school.html

Now it IS associated with public schooling, which in general is bad
for many people. But I see it as a way to take the "best of both
worlds" if you will. You can use the structured curriculum
(especially high-level math and science) that we need when
homeschooling, but we can modify the "bad stuff" by teaching our
kids ourselves and making sure they understand how all of these
subjects fit into God's plan for us.

If you are interested, here's a link I created:

http://www.askataxattorney.net/home-school.html

You can get the curriculum guide and it doesn't cost you anything,
so go ahead and see what they are offering if you're looking for a
more structured curriculum so you can teach your kids at home
without giving them over to the public schools.

Here's the link one more time:

Take care and God bless,

Note that the links do not direct one to 'askataxattorney.net' but to "aweber.com". And if one chooses to try to access 'askataxattorney.net' one is redirected to taxaid.net...All this, considering recent history is reminiscent of the classic "shell game"...

I would recommend that one not play along with a man who has proven himself to be unreliable or of questionable character in so far as his dealings with those who purchased the Essential Catholic Classics.

Pity, really. As I understand it, there are a few hundred who are out the $30+ dollars which may never be seen again. A very poor example has been set for his family and friends, but most especially, his children. May he and his partner, Joe Hanley, come to their senses and do what is right and just for their victims and in the eyes of God.

I would suggest unsubscribing from Jack's list with aweber...One could always report him by sending an email to abuse@aweber.com and let them know about these 'special projects' of his.

Jen has other updates/info here.
