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.
