You're F-ing kidding, right?  If you still can, put a stop payment on them.  
If not, go ask for your money back.  Any place that gives advice that bad, 
they need to be put out of business.

That's like telling somebody to run for governor when they've got zero 
political experience...Unless you're an actor or otherwise famous, you're not 
going to have much luck.  And even if you do get in, you're just going to piss 
off the customers and other tenders if you start doing badly (heh, look at 
Schwarzenegger).
