Warning: TV advertisement for "Inventor's Helpline"

I just saw something on TV that made me sick. It was a slick
advertisement for these people:

http://www.inventorshelpline.com/

These people are almost certainly scammers and conmen. The central
player in this scheme is probably a man named Julian Gumpel. See

Excellent post, Harry. Thank you for expanding on the theme. OK,
perhaps "scam" is too strong a word . . . but not by far. Any would-be
inventors should be advised against dealing with these people
regardless. Instead, they should read up on numerous resources both on
the Web and in book form. One such resource is a book called "Will It
Sell?" by a fellow named James E. White. He has a Web site
www.willitsell.com. I reference that site from my "Links" page (at
bottom) on my own Web site, as well as to a "Caution List" of cons and
scams on a site called InventorEd.
