Caveat Emptor – Let The Buyer Beware (of Facebook ads)
It is a little embarrassing to say that for the second time some unscrupulous advertiser on Facebook got my money. It’s easy now, no more clicking Facebook ads.

I am not too sure about that, but I will say that I was better prepared after reading Porter Stansberry’s book “American Jubilee“. There is a…
