Selling an e-book that gives out secrets

[Meg89]

Someone sent me an e-mail the other day claiming they have the secrets to making money on the web, and I can have those secrets for $20. I was wondering, does this method actually work? I know people who have purchased such e-books expecting it to work, but is it worth even trying? I know most people will do it to cheat others, so if I make a legit book about how to get started in IM, could I be able to sell it and make a nice amount of money from it?
