I agree - that statement is far too general. One persons' scam is another persons good value. I think paying $20 to get into a nightclub is a scam, others see it as good value. I've never even considered the use of a life coach but they are no more/less scammy than 100's of other personal services, from personal trainers to clairvoyants, hairstylists to Feung Shui consultants. If you gain personal value, to me it's not a scam. A scam is where someone takes your money and provides nothing or something you weren't expecting in return. In fact I don't think you can really apply 'poor value' as a filter for scam - a Ferrari is poor value for money, but nobody sees it as a scam. Same goes for my nightclub example.
