I am in Arizona and am writing this report after I walked out of Affluence Edu, LLC 3 day training class today before the 3 days are over. My reason for not completing the 3 day class are as follows:
On 06/21/17 I attended Scott Yancey seminar upon an invitation that came in the mail. The seminar was held in Scottsdale, Arizona and lasted for 3 hours. Scott Yancey and his wife were present at that seminar and I was very excited to follow their footsteps in learning about Real Estate Investment. During the seminar an announcement was made for those who wanted to attend a 3 day training class that was costing $1147.00. They explained in detail what the 3 day training was going to teach and to mention a few, free funding to purchase properties and all I needed was to a 1.6% on the property sale value and the rest was mine. That sounded very attractive as customer support was also available including one on one mentoring. They brought in three students from the previous class who gave testimonials about how they were doing after completing the class and that motivated me to sign up. I signed up for the 3 day class that was going to be held on July 7, 8 and 9, 2017 in Scottsdale Arizona and paid $1147 from my debit card.
On July 7, I showed up for the class excited and had taken time off work with my busy work schedule. Classes were supposed to be from 9am - 6pm. I considered the training was going to be more beneficial to me as I have been looking for Real Estate Investment programs, I thought that was it, I was in. To my surprise, the first day went by, and there was nothing like training. The class presenter was talking much about his life experience from the time he migrated from the UK to the United States and how many properties he has acquired. I was also surprised when the presenter talked about "House Keeping Rules" and one of the rules was that "There is no networking among us in the class and no negativity" We were not allowed to exchange phone numbers with anyone in the class. I waited to get the training but none. We were served with lunch (pizza) after paying $1147.00 pizza lunch was the best they could offer. Anyway after lunch I realize there was no training but the presenter was now talking about upcoming workshops on different scheduled dates with the following fees: Platinum ($19, 997), Diamond Elite ($24,997) and Diamond Elite 360 ($37, 997).
From there on the topic was about the workshop and only amount he was mentioning for the workshop was ($38K) which is the Diamond Elite 360. The remainder of the first day was about motivation and not getting discouraged and giving various examples with some book authors with good examples of knowing what change can do and how to adjust to change. That is all about the first day. Before we left for the day, we were divided into groups and were assigned some counselors. We were given a piece of paper to sign in on a website and check our credit scores and from that time, I became skeptical as we were promised using other people monies and getting all funding free during the first seminar that was attended by Scott Yancey. During the house keeping rules, there were no questions allowed, anyone with a question was supposed to write it down and give it to the presenter. There was no time allocated for questions, people were like in a prison as we could not talk to each other. I guess they knew there was going to be some influencing among ourselves as people realized, that was not a training class as they had announced.
On the second day, the counselors were pulling individulas or couples at the back of the room and noone could talk about any discussions with the counselors, it was confidential I guess. I waited for my turn only to be surprised that the meeting with the counselor was to ask if I was going to sign up for the upcoming two day workshop and the cost was $38K which was the Diamond Elite 360. Upon checking the credit scores, the website had a promotional code and the results would be transmitted to the counselors. The counselor told me that my credit score could not qualify me to any credit cards that could pay for the $38K. That was the only package they were talking about. I dropped my face, I told the counselor that I was very disappointed and asked if something else could be done as I didn't have the $38K to pay for the upcoming workshop that was to provide the actual training. I asked why I had to pay $1147 and was advised it was to do with the 3 days training, I told the counselor that was not a training. The counselor did not have much to offer as I did not come up with $38K. I went back to my seat and realize that a lot of people were leaving the class soon after they met with their counselors and some did not return after lunch. The presenter even mentioned it during his first day that by the 2nd and 3rd day, most of the chairs will be empty but he didn't say why. I figure it out that the moment the $38K fee was in the picture, a lot of people including myself were no longer motivated. I shared with a couple I was sitted with at my table and the husband was going to file a dispute with his bank as he was not happy for paying $1147 with no training and I felt the same way.
We were discussing quietly as we didn't want to be noticed by the presenter as his rules were "no side talks". I told that couple I was leaving, I left before the session was over and went home. I am not going to attend the class today, I am here sending this report, it is past midnight Mountain Standard Time and I want this report to be read by many people. I wish I had read other people's reviews before attending the seminar, I would not have wasted my time and money. I want my money back and this company Affluence Edu, LLC is a rip-off and a SCAM.
I have lost income, I took time off from my job on Friday and Saturday hoping to attend classes not information sessions by someone talking about his life and how he went to the US Embassy in the UK to get his visa to come to the USA and how he lined up in line etc etc. Where is the training that we were promised during the seminar. Do you think you can get away with this, the answer is NO. I am taking this matter up and I will fight for my refund, I am not that easy to convince. I was quiet during the two days I was in the class but at the back of my mind I already realized that I have been ripped-off.
I am full of regrets because I googled Sott Yancey and all I could see was "Flipping Burgers" and no mention about his company Affluence Edu, I could have searched under that company but I didn't know. I am not returning tomorrow as that is the last day. Today there was no lunch served, we had to buy our own lunch. Why paying $1147 with a one day lunch (pizza) and no training. How many people attended the 3 day class . The first day we were almost 100 in class, say 60 paid $1147 as some were couple, multiply by $1147 that is $68 820.00. Do you think you will get away using people like that. Now you want people to pay another $38 000 in addition to the $1147. Your "House Rules" did not work, people were discussing outside about the rip-off and reason why most of them left before the 3 days is over. The presenter also talked about someone in his last class whom he kicked out of the class after he complained about paying $38K. The guy returned the next day giving out flyers to people in the car park before they enter the class. Your "House Rules" will never work, people are smart to know what was happening in that class as that was not a 3 day training but was a "Motivational Class". I was ripped off but I will get my money back. STAY AWAY FROM - AFFLUENCE EDU, LLC. they are SCAMMERS.
I recently went to same seminar charged us 1,144$ saved money didn't go though after finding this information we need to get lawyered up and start attacking this company get your money back go hard or tuck your tail
Went to ther presentation at the expo center near me, was promised a mp3 player and maybe a computer but i been to mike and irene milams thing years ago so i know they was gonne be a ripoff just like back then they tell you lots of good sounding stuff to keep you from looking at what is real, like how many people make money just look they say 70 percent of the survey make deals and only 60 percent of people that bot ther program responded thats less than half the people making deals and when you figure how much money they make in education its over 15 millions a year and they dont help you they just take your money but they make you think they are helping you they are responsive marketing they get you to raise your hand raise your hand write this down raise your hand write this down and then they say go buy this now and you do but i didnt and neither should you
The company stated that Scott Yancey would be at the original presentation. He was not. We were sold a package for $1147 for a 4 day seminar where they would impart information on how to do flips, get us in contact with investors and have information on how to ge these properties before others are aware of them. The speaker, Rich Layton, used the time to talk about himself and the hard times he suffered. My husband and I just wanted the information promised not all this filler. The bottom line, is that they wanted us to sign up for further educational courses starting at $26,000. They wanted us to come up with $10,000.00 by the end of the third day. It was brutal. They said they wouldn't look into credit scores, which they did. They told us how to use them to get several credit cards (by paying them $3,000.00), so we could use these for our flips. Needless to say, we did not show up on the 4th day. They tried to called several times, but we didn't answer. It was all totally a waste. I tried to dispute the charges on our credit card, but, of course, they sent back our signed copy of paperwork. NEVER do this. If it's too good to be true, it is. Lesson learned.
This company mail to a lot of innocent people seminar with promise of give out loptop, MP3 player and free lunch or dinner.
The create hype of making money by flipping real estate. get audiences excited and registered today for $1147 three days seminar of how to make money in real estate. Sign up now for 2nd person free. I have been in real estae 40 years. The lecturer is a kid about 20 some years old. Knowing very little about real estate and boasting about making tons of money in real estate.
The hold up people until 2 PM without lunch. A lot of people get cheated by swipng ther card to register for seminar and try to get a lap top or MP3 player. Those people did not sign up on the spot will not getting any lunch until 2 PM.
Everybody should spread the word that Afffluence EDU, LLC registed in Utah State is a crrok company trying to cheating your money by signing up semonar on the sopt.
We attended a sales pitch seminar that also promised the first 50 people a laptop computer. No computers were given out. We sat through 3 separate sales pitcehs on real estate investment, stock market investment and tax lien investment.
We purchased the 2 day seminar for two people for $248 for real estate investment. We attended the first day of the seminar on May 13, 2016. We were given talks by people who say they have become millionaires by using the program. Throughout the day, reference was made to a Diamond level program and the price was $25,000.00. No secrets to investing were revealed on day one.
They collected personal information on our finances including equity in our home. People like us who could access the $25,000.00 were given blue slips with an appointment time for the next day. The reason? A hardball sales itch on the Diamond program. People who did not report access to that kind of money were not given these appointment cards.
We told we would not pay them $25,000.00 for this program, or any other program. Lots of nice stories of where these self proclaimed experts came from and how great it has been since, but now answers, no secrets as was promised for this two-day seminar we purchased.
We did not learn anything we did not already know. Our advice is that people save their money on this one. They will not give you any information and will take your money AND won't deliver on their promises. False advertising.
Real estate flippin & stock market trading. enticed us to attend 3 hr seminar with promise of laptop to first 50 to arrive. when asked they informed us it is the "50" th person to have called & registered to attend. & they didn't know who they were. strange!!!dinner was a brown bag lunch which left us hungrier than wen we arrived. i did not pay the $2,000 for 3 day seminar because we just didn't have it or i probably would have especially with the promise of letter of guarantee of funds. I'm not sure but i have seen hundreds of complaints from people who did pay & in some cases much more, even pending lawsuits. I sent them a copy of some & have asked them to explain but to no avail so far. I hope this helps others.
They took $1,344 of my money. I was not taught about foreclosures or how to purchase real estate property. They tried to motivate me to invest $38,000 more dollars for more training. What training??? I was taken advantage of and scammed!!! take my advice. Run far away from affluence edu.
