The charge on the website shows as $147 total, no upsells.  The true charge is $156.22 because it converts from Australia currency. Peter Halpin is from Australia bought a license to sell David Vallieres information.  Peter uses the alias Owen Trimball on his Options Trading Pro System website.  The terms clearly state 100% full refund in 60 days.  I asked for a refund in 3 days and Peter ignored and never responded.

I disputed it with PayPal, but because it is considered a service and not an actual product, they could not force the terms.  It is considered abuse of PayPal's rules. I asked for a refund because the information was not going to work for me.  You have to be able to do technical analysis and have money to invest, etc.

Bring it On

AUTHOR: Owen - (Australia)

POSTED: Thursday, September 27, 2012

Theresa Barbero, any accusation of "slander" or "libel" or "falsely accusing" can only be sustained if what is being said is untrue. If it is the truth, none of these labels can apply.

Fortunately, we have all the data we need to sustain what we have said, including emails received by and sent to you.

As for your claim that you "never agreed to pay more than $147" this is a complete fabrication. The $147 (at the time) was in AUD but you were purchasing from Texas, USA so it was subject to exchange rates at the time. When you clicked the "Buy Now" button, it took you to Paypal where the amount in the correct currency was clearly displayed before you decided to confirm the purchase.

As for your "company name" it is not implicated in this matter. It is merely a means of identifying who you are. Since you had no trouble "revealing" the alleged identity of the program vendor and alleged associations (some of which are also untrue) then why should you have a problem with yourself being identified in a similar manner? This is only fair.

Be careful about threatening lawsuits. They can backfire!

Not Telling the Whole Truth

AUTHOR: Owen - (Australia)

POSTED: Monday, September 24, 2012

The complainant in this case, Theresa Barbero from American Recruitment Services, is not telling the entire truth.

She purchased the Trading Pro System, then followed up with private questions how to turn $500 into $2000 so that she could open an account with Think or Swim brokers, which is recommended by the system. Some private tuition was given in this regard, which she acknowledged gratefully.

Meanwhile, Theresa downloaded all 12GB of video data (24 hours total viewing time) and immediately asked for a refund, claiming that the videos didn't work on her computer. To quote her: "the lines are all wrong, upside down, zig zags". Along with the refund request, she provided specific instructions how to process it via Paypal at our end - an indication that she is well acquainted with paying for products, receiving them, then asking for refunds.

We negotiated with her regarding her alleged "technical difficulties" but to no avail. The matter was then referred to Paypal for arbitration. Paypal communicated with us and we put our side of the story. Eventually they ruled in our favour. Again, contrary to what she says, the Trading Pro System is not a "service" - it is a "product" complete and entire once it is received, with no ongoing fees or charges. Any "service" that was given her, as stated earlier, was complimentary and an attempt at good customer relations.

We have always given refunds upon receipt of genuine requests and can prove this, but this to us, was a clear abuse of the system. It was an attempt to obtain a commercial product without paying for it. In the short time between payment and refund request, there was no real opportunity to review the information. This is why 60 days are allowed. Due to the nature of downloadable digital products, unlike physical goods, they cannot be returned for a refund.
