These pickup artist are frauds and i dont believe they are that good at pickups they overly lie and dont forget that they can pay some woman that act like they seduced them in other to take your money when you go for the so called workshops.
There have been rumors of "shills" being present in the field during workshop outings for quite some time, but I haven't seen any solid evidence of it yet.
It wouldn't surprise me though, as weekend workshops cost up to $2,500 these days, and if people don't get immediate results, they'll post negative feedback and a guru's reputation, along with his income, can deteriorate quickly.
So what's to stop a PU guru from hiring a couple of hot chicks to be present at a bar/out in the field and react positively to some geeks using the Mystery Method (for example) after being pushed into a set?
Maybe someday, someone will write a real "exposé" on the "community" and the frauds will be exposed.
I agree that paying these guys to learn how to be some chicks "entertainment monkey" is a waste of time and money, but there are those desperate enough to go for the quick fix, which might even get them temporary results, but the road to becoming a DJ and becoming a desirable man is much more difficult and time-consuming than what one can learn in a weekend bootcamp/workshop.
Note: I'm not in any way accusing Mystery of using "shills" but just used his name/method for demonstration purposes in the above example since he is so well-known and most readers will be able to identify with him.
Maybe I should have used Ross Jeffries instead. LOL
