Very little in life is as distasteful as the practice of scamming the terminally ill.

The terminally ill are often desperate.

They might insist on believing in improbable miracles, and they might spend all of their

own or their family's money buying anything that might offer the slightest hope.

And tragically, there are criminal charlatans out there willing to take every last scent.

Despicable vulture scumbags is today on Skeptoid.

Hey everyone, Brian here.

A quick favor.

We are conducting an audience survey.

We'd be really grateful if you could take just a few minutes and answer our survey.

This is the kind of thing that's sort of an engineering and marketing necessity to make

the whole free podcast ecosystem flourish.

So please check it out.

Also surveys are fun.

You get to talk about yourself.

Please visit survey.prx.org slash Skeptoid to take the survey today.

That's survey.prx.org slash SKEP TO ID.

Thanks.

You're listening to Skeptoid.

I'm Brian Dunning from Skeptoid.com.

Despicable vulture scumbags.

Today I'm going to depart from the usual format and answer a single email that I received.
