has anyone here tried Illusion Mage.  I received an email from them saying that I could purchase it for $47 usd.  Not a bad price.  Though once you go to the site, that $47 usd is for a basic package, not the one they advertise.  That one is $77 usd.  Still not a bad price if it does what they say. 

On checking it out on line I find some sites have taken their ads down because it is the same as blender which is free.  I have not used blender so I cannot say.  

So I would like someone that knows anything about Illusion Mage to tell me about it.  Or is it a fake? 

It seems that IllusionMage is simply Blender ... renamed.  Here a link that tells you more about this 'scam.'

Thank you for your response although I have already concluded that it was a fake.  Whom ever has set this scam up has uped the anny slightly as he is picking up our email address from sites like this that we have joined and are sending us emails.  I say sites like this as I only belong to a few sights.  The ad itself made me leary as when I went to the sight, it was a bait and switch add.  If it had not been for that fact I probably would have bought into it.   What the email offered to me for 47 usd was 77 on the site and 47 for the basic.  This is what made me suspicious.  After what I read and what you responded there should be a way that google could come down on the man for spamming its email cliants.

A very good and informative article indeed . It helps me a lot to enhance my knowledge, I really like the way the writer presented his views.
