In other words, anyone choosing to do business with Graziosi can expect that his company will always deliver value.
If there is a problem or concern, they will work to correct it, always striving to find a mutually satisfactory resolution. Gaziosi is concerned with the growth and success of all his students, readers and clients and Dean Graziosi is listening carefully to what his clients are saying. With the open forum at his website, one can see for themselves that students are happy with what Graziosi is doing. After all, his motto is "think a little differently", and that is key to making changes for the benefit of the business.
Dean Graziosi told Ripoff Report, that his company philosophy is "based on the premise of over-delivering on our promises, giving everything we can to help people reach their dreams and goals." He further stated that "Dean Enterprises will only grow and succeed if we make sure our students and clients succeed."
The process Dean Enterprises uses, starts with Graziosi himself continually being active as a real estate investor. By remaining actively involved as an investor himself, he knows what is really happening in the market, and can then better identify what clients want and need. Whether they simply want to learn how to get a terrific deal on a primary residence, or grow a thriving real estate investing business, Graziosi focuses on solutions that gives them the roadmap to financial security and independence."

He has helped hundreds even thousands of individuals to see that real estate investing is something they can be a part of.

===================== NOW TO THE ORIGINAL REPORT THAT WAS FILED
===================== Dean Graziosi's Think A Little Different ripoff, scam, money maker pyramid, Phoenix Arizona
I recently bought the Think A Little Different program off an infomercial. This was $39.95 but they obviusly tried to sell me some more collaterol. Once I called them they then enrolled me on the following programs:
- Special Listing Agency fiees (America's Real Estate Network) for $995 - Guaranteed Traffic.com for $2000 - Internet advertizing for $795 - Domain registration for $24.95 [this is legitimate]
Once I had enrolled and went through their pitch the fees were discounted and I ended up with a bill for $3,870.
After this billing cycle, I was then phoned by PMIcoaching.com to enrol me in one of their real-estate coaching programs. This would apparently would help me guarantee some real-estate transactions which in turn could be used as advertising by Dean Graziosi to further promote his scam [infomercials]. The cost of this plan is $6580. At this point I said, "enough"! 'Click', end of conversation, I put the phone down.
I did recieve some paperwork and a binder for these costs from "think A Little Different". Unfortunately they are next to worthless and must have cost about $25 maximum to produce.
I would like to file a complaint against:
Dean Graziosi's Think A Little Different - This would be under general fraud and for not providing anything of value for the money
GuaranteedTraffic.com - This would be for exorbitant costs for rediricing internet traffic to a website.
Obviously this is a scheme to extort money out of people and I want to expose these people so that others don't make the mistake I've made. This is a lot of money to most people.

Thinking of getting it...
AUTHOR: Javier - (U.S.A.)
SUBMITTED: Friday, August 19, 2005
POSTED: Friday, August 19, 2005Found all this crappy cases... Sorry for you guys.
The people should start to look at this website more and more, so this "companies" won't work at all...
Everytime i talk to someone i always send them here...
Keep the word of mouth going...
Thank God you got your money back. Credit card companies work pretty good in this cases, same happened to me, went to a restaurant for a few drinks, leave the tab opened and they charged me like 3 other tables together on my credit card. I didn't waste my time calling to the restaurant, called the credit card company and got my money back in like 5 days, was like 300.
Now I take 5 min. and I go to the ATM first before I go out, I learned my lesson.
Hope I helped somebody with my comment.
Good luck!

sorry, allowing you to give a competitors name would instigate others to just file against their competition, to only come back later to suggest their company your comments on this policy are welcome! CLICK here to see why Rip-off Report, as a matter of policy, deleted either a phone number, link or e-mail address from this Report.
It is a good book to give you a start in the real estate biz and on Amazon it is only $13.00.

The final outcome ..
AUTHOR: Gareth - (U.S.A.)
SUBMITTED: Wednesday, May 04, 2005
POSTED: Monday, December 13, 2004Basically, as I mentionend before I contacted my Credit Card company straight away once I thought there was a scam going on.
I then followed up with letters to the company for a refund and sent copies to my credit card company. I then talked to the Customer Claims department and they filed the case where it then went off to the fraud department. I also confirmed that they'd received copies of my logs of all transactions and communications.
I have now received a full rebate through my credit card and am very relieved. My credit card company has been helpful in this dispute and I encourage anyone who is in a similar position to call your credit card company straight away.
Just so you know, there are ways in getting your money back. You just have to keep pressing for it. I urge you not to give up.

7-21 business day refund scam
AUTHOR: Dog - (U.S.A.)
SUBMITTED: Wednesday, May 04, 2005
POSTED: Wednesday, December 01, 2004I was then told on the phone at a later date that there had been a mess up and that the information hadn't been given to the accounting department. Nice and conveinient eh?
Anyway, since the original return is actually where the clock officially starts ticking, I decided the ultimatem was warranted.
This is why it is so important to try and do everything above board when exposing fraudulent companies.
Use FedEX/UPS/USPS mail with recipts for delivery guarantees etc [making sure you keep the receipts!]. This adds to the possibility of mail-fraud in a legal battle! More amunition!! You will also have records that you did your part.
I just want to point out again, it is very important that you are both consistent in reporting stuff (don't get emotional) and logical. If you are feeling emotional about things, take a break and then try and come back and write things down in the order of events. Collect your records together and put the correct dates on the notes.
I personally have a hanging folder with copies of absolutely all communications (including voice recordings) which have all been dated.
The reason I mention this is that any Lawyer needs to have substantial evidence when presenting a case to a court. By doing this, you have as much ammunition as possible and have also showed that you are not making things up to get your own back (which is quite often a plea from the defendant!).

Dean Graziosi's Think A Little Different Scam
AUTHOR: Gareth - (U.S.A.)
SUBMITTED: Wednesday, May 04, 2005
POSTED: Monday, November 22, 2004FYI, legally you have to ask the receiver of the phone call if they mind being recorded. I did this so that all my conversations are recorded legally and may be submitted to court as evidence.
I have given the company [ThinkALittleDifferent.com] an ultimatem in that they must reimburse my credit card by the end of 11/22/04 if they wish to avoid legal procedings with my credit card company.
I am writing this log so that there is documented evidence of the process by which I am trying to get my money refunded.
If this turns into a legal battle, I will post more information here of the process and the outcome.
I would like to point out that the credit card company's advice on possible frauds is:
1) Keep notes on all conversations and atempted conversations. Date your paperwork.
2) Keep copies of all letters sent and received.
3) Make sure you send a letter to the company asking for a refund. This means that you have done your due dilligence in trying to get your money back. Make sure it is dated. Keep a copy!
4) If possible record all comunications with the company (including voicemails). Date the recordings before the phone is picked up and then ask the recipient if they are willing to speak whilst the recorded conversation is taking place.
