My husband and I sent our two sons to Frank Park’s Future Investor Clubs of America Camp in the summer of 2017 and I wanted to share my experience with you, outlined more in this video youtube.com/watch?v=ASavqYu9zlc . The website promises a fantastic learning experience as well as trips to the New York Stock Exchange and other business field trips in New York City. In reality it was barely two hours of learning in a conference room that they had to wait to get into each morning because it was a rented workspace. After the “classroom time” it was about six hours of driving around in a van, driven by Frank Parks, to restaurants with only four kids in the camp (He implied to us that the camp was almost at capacity, not the case), and Frank Parks’ son and daughter who were his “staff members”. We asked for an itinerary which was supposed to come two weeks before the start of camp. We requested it and did not receive an answer. The day of the camp I figured out why because if I had seen it I probably would have not sent my kids to this camp. I even asked my kids to ask Frank for an itinerary and he said no because “your parents would just poke holes in it”. Frank Parks also drove them to a mall in New Jersey without our permission to sit around in the food court without any learning. All in all this was a very disappointing experience. Please beware!!
I found Frank Parks and his Future Investor Club Of America club to be a very dishonest experience. It is outlined in this video
We asked Mr. Parks for itineraries and proof of value up to and during the week my boys were in camp. Numerous flaws in his camp and he has a series of fake accounts he sends in rebuttal accounts from. There were days when my boys were at the camp and he was there. He tried to portray lunch at food courts as “business lunches with professionals”…the lunch was the kids eating by themselves with one of Frank Parks kids staring into their phone.
Nothing professional. He would take the kids to libraries at NYU and Columbia JUST for photo opps and both schools “invited” him to leave the campus. He is a classic flim flam man who talks a mile a minute and has an answer for everything. He has no employees, it’s just him and his reluctant kids. My kids posted videos of their real honest experiences. Avoid this scamster.
2 years ago, i did an online search for a financial camp for my son. I found Future Investor Clubs of America. Something didn't seem right about it and I decided against it. Earlier this year, Mr Frank Parks, President of this "company" texted me (in a large group text) telling us registration was open for summer 2017. I decided to call him to hear more about it. Like any salesperson trying to sell a sub-par product, he went on and on about all the merits of the camp and how so many kids from "all over the world" come to his camp and how spaces are limited, so I'd better sign up now! He even offered me a discount. Very pushy man. I signed my son up in February for a week of summer camp. I sent in $850 for tuition!
Over the next few months, I discovered several NEGATIVE online reports about this camp. One such report is on this very website! Another was filed with the Florida Better Business Bureau! I called Mr Parks on May 14, 2017 about these to give him a chance to explain these negative reports.
He explained them, quite angrily and pointed the finger at the parents that filed the reports. He made it seem that they had issues or problems; that there were many positive online video testimonials about his camp! He then got ANGRY at ME and stated he would refund my full tuition. I have this stated CLEARLY in an email from the SAME date. He also states in the email that according to his "company's policy", they could take up to 90 days to refund my $850. That 90 days was over on August 14... and NO REFUND! I politely and courteously contacted Mr Parks to inquire about my promised refund. He told me some complete BS story about "the big accounting firm" that handles the money and that he "left messages for them" and no one returned his calls. He also went on to say that if I kept on calling and inquiring about my refund, he would STOP helping me to get my money back.
Parents, don't fall for this ploy! This man runs this "camp" with his family; there are no financial "executives" that give the lessons. He took my money, got angry when I confronted him about negative reviews and HAS NOT refunded my money in the 90 days that he stated in his email to me!!
