Hi Russ,

I am always very wary of offers like this.

What personal information did you have to give them?
An e-mail address?
Other stuff, address, birth date, etc.?
Bank or Credit Card details for the recurring charges in subsequent years?
(they hope you'll forget to cancel)

I know nothing of them, I'm just applying the axiom 'if it looks to good to be true ...'

I also didn't actually determine what was being sold/offered from that page alone.
I wonder if the reality will live up to your expectations?

Sorry to be a sour-puss, Dave

Thank's really good

Dave, all I did was give my first initial as the first name and my correct surname, used a hotmail email address. NO credit or any other card details required even put N/A in the telephone number box. That wasit. I have seen some of Mark Cleghorn's offering on youtube.

Thanks for the additional information Russ, very helpful.

Glad my fears were unfounded in this case.

I have signed up so thanks. No idea what it is though.

I am also very sceptical of offers that appear too good to be true.

It looks as though the membership gives you access to their training videos and stuff.

"The FREE Academy membership includes access to over 1200 videos, plus monthly webinars, photo critiques and exclusive discounts from sponsors."

So, I suppose you get access to the videos in exchange for going on their mailing list for paid activities, such as photo walks and workshops.

I had a look at their FB page and some of the reviews looks ropey (similar, over-enthusisiastic writing style in more than one. Might be coincidence, might be fake reviews), but overall 4.6/5.

So, not convinced it is worth signing up for but, as no financial details have changed hands, the worst you are going to get are some spam emails.

Some of the stuff still seems to need extra payment from what I can see but the site didn't work well on my phone.
