or, "this is bullshit, these scammers are teaching 10 year old tactics", in that case I would ask for a refund/charge back/etc, or perhaps even just let it go and consider it lesson learned... but certainly I would not buy any more seminars from the same company...

You might be comparing apples to elephants.
If you go to an SEO seminar, you are going to a seminar for an industry are you already in and know about some what. You aren't looking for a career change, aren't desperate, and don't have heavy handed sales people breathing down your neck. You would see the seminar was of little value, and would walk away.
The people who attended the Trump University seminars didn't have any prior exp in this area, were looking for a career change, were desperate, and hit with these sales people that made them seem they were stupid if they didn't sign up for more courses.
You would attend a SEO seminar and quickly see it was bullshit, but some of these people went to a single Trump University seminar and were suckered into buying more and more courses to unlock secrets that just didn't exist.
This was just fraud. They had instructions on how to sucker people out of money.
