If you had a lot of money or ready access to investors and some chemists it would be pretty easy to become one of these scam companies.
You hear them all the time on the radio, new companies popping up all the time, offering guarantees to grow hair, etc, etc.
Seems like all you have to do is "swirl up" a little bit of low percentage minoxidil (and be ambivalent about how much) and mix it up with some pretty questionable and worthless ingredients and then hire a very aggressive and smart marketing department.
Once you get on the radio, bammo, you've got customers. Millions of men who don't do research, are miserable, and will jump at anything with a money back guarantee.
Thing is, I'm willing to bet that the production costs are so low on these snake oil bottles that even if someone demands a refund (which, if you look at any of these companies, you don't get all your money back, there is a restocking fee) they STILL make money no matter what. Win win.
Then, after the company proves to be a failure after, say, five years, it has still MADE money.
What a great side company for the rich investor. Damn. I'm glad I do my research.
