Matthew Lesko

Matthew Lesko was born in 1943. He is the host of a late night infomercial. Lesko is known as the question mark guy due to the "Riddler like" suit he wears. He has made a living telling people how to get "free" money from the United States Government. He has a degree from Marquette University, and an MBA from American University in Washington D.C.

This guy wearing multi-color question marks comes on your TV and screeches "I can hook you up with a government grant so you can build your own TIME MACHINE," etc. Now he's selling this otherwise free info direct to you for about $60! But that's not the worst of it.

Mr. Lesko compiled a book of government grants, loans, and other programs that are available to individuals to make a profit. His book isn't updated very often, and as a result much of the information is out of date. He also doesn't provide much information on how to actually apply for any of these grants. Even if there are grants that are will work for your situation, probably 90% of the information in the book will not be specific to your situation.

I should note that this book is intended for people in very specific areas. It is meant to give information on acquiring money for a number of very specific groups. Because one person didn't find a group to fit them does not mean that another person will not, people seem to have a skewed viewpoint of the book's purpose.

It seemed to me that the book never really got around to telling me how the people I saw, and heard about in the ads, actually got their money. That causes me to be very skeptical about the whole thing. All it does is give you a list of addresses, and in most cases, they didn't even specify what you need to say in your letter if you wrote to them. It was disappointing to see such a large book with little useful information inside it. The least Lesko could have done was specify what each address was for, or how the people in his testimonials were able to get their money. It makes me question whether these people ever got the money he claims.

Plus, in many cases, getting this "free money" is a lot more work than just knowing where to write. It just gets people's hopes up.

With his book comes six hours of Matthew Lesko on tape.
