Care for some snake oil?

Last night I was watching one of those old western movies and this
one scene just jumped out at me. You know the one, where the old
guy and the young pretty girl drive their wagon into town and set
up their signs saying:

"**Dr. Wilson's Cure-All**

Your hair will grow back, your teeth will be glowing white, and if
you have a terminal illness we can take care of that too!"

They set up shop in the middle of town and a crowd gathers to see
what the commotion is all about. "Dr. Wilson" and his lovely
assistant start telling the crowd about the amazing curative
properties of the "secret formula."

And then what happens? A handsome guy screams from the crowd
thanking the good Doctor for saving him, something like this:

"I couldn't see past my nose and kept tripping over my own feet.
Then Dr. Wilson gave me a bottle of "Cure-All" and now I can see 2
miles on a cloudy day and I've never felt better! I gave some to my
grandpa, who has arthritis of the legs, last week and right now he's
out plowing the field without a pain in the world."

The "doctor" pulls the young man up on the stage and explains
exactly how his "proprietary blend" of ancient Indian herbs and the
like can cure anything that ails you.

And then the magic happens. The crowd turns from a group of casual
listeners to a raging mob, clawing at Dr. Wilson, buying bottles by
the case. Little do they know that what they are buying is
repackaged water from the river with a few spices added for flavor.

See, this is exactly how every "get-rich-quick" salesman has made
his fortune since the beginning of time. They feed on the emotional
hot-buttons of people. They exploit a feeling of desperation that
you are grappling with right now and sell you their false promises
when you are most vulnerable.

In this case it was a cure for whatever physical ailment the people
had. Whatever little ache, pain or even serious illness could be
miraculously cured with one bottle, for only $10.

The screaming guy is a "shill," or a paid promoter. Like the
celebrities you see on TV endorsing every new product to hit the
market. They claim to be cured, when in reality, they are just paid
to make the claim and you're expected to believe otherwise.

Seems a little shady doesn't it? Selling a bottle of nothing and
promising people that it will save their lives, cure their dandruff
and make them insanely attractive to the opposite sex.

Well, it's true that Dr. Wilson and all his friends were arrested
long ago for selling dirty water, but his legacy lives on...

Next, I'll show you where and how to spot a "Snake Oil" salesman
from a mile away. I've talked to the best of them and bought
enough of the stuff to fill the back and front seats of your
car, much to my dismay.

"Snake Oil" comes in many shapes, sizes and colors. Always
look twice and think before you buy. Most things that sound to good
to be true are just that. Except for a few, and those require much
testing and research before they can be deemed "snake-oil free."

Luckily, I've done most of the hard work for you already...
