I think he just wants to get some leads for his product / service which is not a scam.
But I see what you are saying about scams. Almost all of these "get rich" e books promising you'll make $1000's in a day are scams. They are just readily available info, mostly just common sense really just dressed up by some marketer.
It is a shame people fall for these, hell, i've even bought an ebook (thankfully it wasn't very much!) but the big "secret" was, to write your one ebooks! so he was making money with an ebook telling people to write ebooks!
Thing is, if these methods were so good, no way would they be selling them for $20 or whatever. They'd be doing it non stop and making a fortune. People generally seem to want the easy route, and want it all without any work. The people that write the sales blurb know this, and play on this making out they will get rich by just buying whatever it is. You can't achieve anything worthwhile without hard work, simple as that.
If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is! (apart from eUKhost!)
