Legacy Education Alliance (L.E.A.) states that they are a leading provider of educational training seminars, conferences and services. Founded in 1992, L.E.A. is a global company dedicated to providing quality financial education with headquarters in the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom. Not true. The are a big money making scam. They are well training sales people who do a great dog and pony show of reeling you in to paying for weekend seminars that are more of the reeling in to buy more training. Once you go to a weekend event, it's like a cult. You are wisked through some overviews, but never really get any meat in the courses. You have to buy more training. They encourage you to drop out, and tell you that buy the third day only a few people will be left. They hold the days of training longer to exhaust with "fluffy information" again no real meat in the seminars. Just wanting you to sign and pay for more training.
We signed up through one of the many Brands L.E.A. reoresents, Rich Dad Education and Rich Dad Stock Education. Because we signed up for two we got a discount on the stock education seminar. The first seminar on real estate investment in Alexandria, VA was awful. Their people are well trained in weeding out those that are smart and don't buy their bull.
When we signed up for the second course on stock education, the training was sheduled within the month. They tell you not to worry about the 1 year contract date, that L.E.A.will honor the contract after that because they understand that you can't always make the training when scheduled. Well, L.E.A., sends notices out about the upcoming training in less that 1 month's notice and they are not able to provide you a schedule of the seminars for 3 to 6 months. Which is unrealistic when trying to go to a training that requires requesting time-off from work, funds to pay for hotel stay and meals. They can offer you online training, but the classes run on a Monday and Tuesday evening from 8:30 pm to midnight. Oh, yeah, that is real accomodating times. When I spoke with the Student Resolutions, they agreed that they should have a better schedule with more planning time. I also was told my contract was ending in 4 days, and if I did not make contact with the numerous phone class back and forth, she was going to close my account.
All part of the scam of promising seminar education, and no delivery. Please review this company and thre brands they represent. Do not pay for any seminars that are coordinated by them. It is a total waste of money and time if you attend.
I attended a real estate seminar in Denver CO on July 1-3 2016. The teacher nameed Trevor claimed to be some kind of millionaire and gave everyone a sad sob story to evoke emotions. He proceeded to insult people, calling them cheap, lazy, stupid, after he made a written contract with the class that he would respect people and their points of view.
I did not attend the third day of classes because I was tired of being insulted. He made fun of me behind my back. What kind of millionaire needs to insult a person less fortunate? I think he is a liar. I think this whole seminar is crap. They only give you a couple of good pieces of information (which are just tricks), then sell their next seminars to you to get the rest of the information. All they teach is back-door tricks and nothing seriously substantial.
If I wanted to be insulted by Steve Harvey, I would go on the Family Fued. This was a complete waste of time and resources. He claims to not want to rip people off, but when my wife asked why they were not in the BBB, they got VERY beligerent with her. The BBB allows it's members to fix complaints and make the customer happy. They are obviously just in this to get as much of your money as possible while giving as little education as possible. This is a complete scam!!!
This post talks mostly about the US branch for Legacy Alliance Education - they also operate in the UK and is as the other post state this is a complete scam.
We attended the 3 day course in the London, England in January 2018 - what a waste of time, effort and money. I'm grateful that I could see though their lies almost within a few hours of attending but I found out at a cost of £1000. They operate under various names such as Elite, Legacy Alliance UK, Rich Dad Poor Dad, Property Perform etc, making it difficult to know exactly who you are training with. If you are googling trying find out more before you attend the 3 day weekend course and whether you have been scammed - you have - get your money back as soon as you can - IT IS A SCAM . The information they provide is very basic for example they advise when you view a property take a tape measure and check the windows - dahh - If you don't know this type of stuff please purchase a property book from Amazon at the fraction of the cost. £1000 for this type of education is completely overpriced. Also they referred to a property in the Lake District - a massive 6 bedroom house with a couple acres at cost around £120k the trainer mentioned the property was bought and sold as a HMO netting the buyer massive profits (the audience gasped). I was in the Lake district 2 weeks prior to the course and looked in the estate agent windows and properties of that calibre were on sale for excess of £400k and often in the middle of know where, making we wonder how a HMO would work given the local demographics of young families and retireees ... at the end the story the trainer admitted this figures related to 2001 - my next question was why are they educating delegates based on 17 year old data...it clearly no longer relevant!
If you are in the 14 day cooling of period - get your money back! ITS A SCAM
I was encouraged to sign up for Rich Dad/Legacy Education's Investment program. Although I did not have the money, nor funds to invest. Their representatives advised me that in only a few months, at age 59 1/2. I could use my retirement funds to pay the bills and invest. This was outright wrong. They set up a loan for me with a third party company.
Based on their representations, I foolishly went ahead. I was in the first of five courses, and had not begun the mentorship when I found the information was wrong. I asked for a refund. They advised, after three days, there was no refund available.
I repeatedly asked for some type of consideration but I was offered no redress. The company told me to take the remaining courses and mentorship or I would get nothing for my money. I completed the educational program that was absolutely worthless.
I contacted an attorney and was told I could not take them to court, I had to file for arbitration. I did with the American Arbitration Association. The AAA refused the case as Rich Dad had not kept current in their payments.
Read the fine print carefully. Do not trust anything they say. I learned the hard way by losing over $18,000.
I went on the three day course and experienced a very slick,clever team of people who were selling the dream of millionaires in two years rubbish,branding people as the 99% and the rich as the 1%,Which one are you?.
I've had much the same experience as you will read in other reviews. In 2014 I paid $495 for a 3-day Real Estate training seminar that I attended July 2015. Little did I know that there would be no training as advertised... Most of the first day was spent positioning and selling the "additional training". The only thing I learned during the seminar was that any time you spend your hard earned money, you should know who you are doing business with beforehand. Big mistake! I sought a refund due to my extreme disappointment and was denied. I was actually told by Heather Jones in the Resolution Dept that Rich Dad Education/ Legacy Education does not have a customer satisfaction guarantee and they would not refund anything. I literally don't know how they continue to do business. I then spoke with a Manager, Amanda Sachs who told me customer satisfaction was important to them and offered me an additional online training. They would still not refund my money. I want nothing to do with this company, so an additional training is obviously not going to work. Anyone have any good ideas to seek a refund? Small claims or lawsuit? All I want is my $495. The goods/services I was sold is not what I received.
