From what I've heard about the "real labs", it goes something like this:
1. You send (wire transfer/ Western Union) ~$1500 to someone.
2. They walk away with your money and say "ha ha"
I think you generally have better odds getting the millions from a distant
Nigerian relative whose lawyer just sent you an e-mail, than to get an
actual lab from these folks.
I do know many who have claimed to have seen the same lab twice (or more)
and still not pass, so having the lab doesn't mean that you will be able to
pass.
Of course, there's also my favorite lab conspiracy theory, that the "real
labs" are Cisco honeypots, to catch people who don't respect the integrity
of the program/NDA.

Subject: Why not to use the "real ccie lab" folks
OK smart peeps,
I have a friend who is currently working on her CCNP, and keeps giving me a
hard time for not having passed the lab yet (1 failed attempt under my belt)
but I'm still hitting it hard and will be going back in another 2 moths.
Anyway, she's convinced that when she finishes her last NP test she'll just
pay the $1200 to the folks who shall remian nameless and study the "3 real
CCIE labs" and pass on the first attempt." I agree with what's been said
here so many times before, that the cert only means something if you truly
are an expert and have earned it. So let's not get everyone all wound up.
That being said, does anyone have a few stories I can share with her, that
might be helpfull in keeping her on the "HIGH ROAD". I keep trying to tell
her, she's going to pay $1200 for a couple useless old files and then what,
go to the proctor on test day and say, hey this isn't the test I was
expecting you must have made a mistake?
I'm sure there are other folks here who have fallen for it, please share
your experiences so my friend will see the light and not surrender to the
dark side...she knows who she is
