Susan Martin said she paid for one of those three-day seminars in California that cost almost $2,000.

She said there were flashy presentations and pushes to get attendees to sign up for even more expensive events.

"It didn't strike me as legitimate," Martin said.

Martin said she was given a refund after complaining, and she hopes others learn from her experience.
