1.0 out of 5 stars Another type of Pigeon Scam, May 7, 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: Free Stuff For Seniors (Hardcover)
You remember when seniors were being taken for their life savings by someone who claimed to find some money and would share the found fortune with the senior. But the senior had to come up with "trust" money. The scam artist would take the seniors money and never be heard from again.
This is what this book does. I purchased this book for my mother. I hoped it would provide access to free services. It doesn't. You have to be disabled, a vet, living in a rural backwater town in Idaho, with one good eye and 3 missing fingers on your right hand. Okay, so I exaggerated a bit. But you get the drift.
Matthew Lesko is a good pitchman but his products don't live up to the hype.

5.0 out of 5 stars Thanks for this book!, August 27, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Free Stuff For Seniors (Paperback)
Before reading what to do about trouble with high utility bills because of low income (social security) we thought we would have to move out of our home after living in it for 34 years. "Free Stuff for Seniors," advised us to contact our local utility office, because our utility bills were so high, as a result we got fuel assistance and a new furnace which was desperately needed. They also provided smoke detectors and insulation.
