      I believe that this is one of the core scammers in this whole scheme.

      There’s whole documentary style videos on it, how it’s a scam, and that they’re largely just pocketing the money.

      But if it makes you happy to have paid $100 for a piece of paper that says Lord/Lady (your name here), then I don’t see why you would care, if that’s what you are getting from it.

        Also, the thought of having a tree planted on a designated plot was a nice thought. I’ll look for a documentary on that topic. Sadly, I didn’t know before.

          That’s kind of the idea though.

          They don’t exactly advertise that they’re doing a bad thing.

          I have my reservations about the tree planting thing. I forget the specifics about it from the material I’ve seen.

          IIRC it’s half right? I forget why. It’s been a while.

      You can’t get a lordship just by owning land and you can’t sell a sq meter of land who cares what trust pilot says?

        I just checked trustpilot after reading all this. Actually I did order there because I heard of that stuff in multiple podcasts. I thought the lord/ladyship would just be a title for fun and the money would go towards reforestation. (I know that the titles and ownership of the land are without any legal ground.)
