Your Friend Brett Called to Tell You He Just Heard

question 240

True/False

Your friend Brett called to tell you he just heard a sales pitch for a new website development franchise where "he can get in for a few thousand dollars." He wants to know if you are ready to invest too. Although you lack expertise in graphic design or html programming, this should be a safe investment since it is already advertised as a franchise system. It's probably too good to pass up.
