This strike anyone else as suspicious?

Written entirely without emotion, or elaboration on experience.

A quick search for the username 'vesalius' returns a VIP member with 4 posts since 17th July, all of which have been deleted. This guy - who's not even an active member - apparently contacted the Admin and convinced him to personally post a badly written, robotic review.

Seriously you guys, people can make up their own minds whether they want to take a bootcamp or not, without you resorting to shills.

I would usually ignore shit like this, but I don't really like these kinds of advertising techniques. It really cheapens the whole thing.

What? Why do you think his posts have been deleted? I guess they're just in the Lounge so you can't see them.

And the review is probably just copied out of an evaluation form...

Chill out dude

I guess it was a stupid post.

I don't like how it looks though. I like to make up my own mind with legitimate reviews without being unsure whether a review is genuine or not.

think thats bad? look at the reviews on the TMM about one of the 1-on1 bootcamps - theres a guy whos donbe a review who said he did a bootcamp before doing another one (?) WTF?

then he writes another review.

the author isnt even a lounge member and he only ever posted once and that was for the review.

thats crazy. not only this, but those guys at TMM are BEGGING people to do bootcamps - in the end its a bsiness and the only way is to advertise. if it all gos downhill, then bye-bye TMM i guess.
too bad theres a lot of talented people on there.

i got one guy doing a london bootcamp with them - in august - if he loves it, then i guess ill do one myself, as VA guys dont do one in the UK currently.
