Internet scam? or Legitimate?

I found this link through my google alerts system "travel agent nightmare" and when I check it out, it's a closed Ebay sale and after having done some research on this website, everything about it says scam, but maybe it's because I am a legitimate travel agent and pessimistic about "if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is". My dad taught me well. I would be super cautious. Sounds to me like someone is trying to sell a book and in my world, I believe that the only way to get deeply discounted hotels is to barter at the front desk, which I do believe does happen and why not, heck, even if they get 100.00 out of a room, it's better than nothing at all, but who wants to gamble their vacation like that? You know what they say, "you get what you pay for". When I find websites like this, I really cringe in that I would only trust it if a known friend of mine had participated. Is it really just a time share maybe? I wouldn't be surprised and certainly sounds logical to me. If that's the case, I can "just say no" :-) Here is there frequently asked questions page, which again, sounds to me like you're totally on your own and they're selling you an e-book. Again, chances are, there is alot of bartering involved and again, yes, if you enjoy bartering and begging, then knock yourself out and have a wonderful vacation. They are somehow linked to this organization: Cascade Mission which also bothers me. It sounds so much like an MLM to me the more I dig into this organization. Who knows. I'd be interested to hear from real people about the validity of this group. Feel free to share your comments.

It will cost you 24.99 per month (3 month minimum required) and you will receive the Penny Pincher's Super Fun Guide to Walt Disney World 2006. Their purchase page is a dead link. hmmm interesting, verrrrrrry interesting. I'll stick with Walt Disney World Travel Company, thank you.
