UPDATE: Issue RESOLVED - Very SATISFIED!

AUTHOR: LeadSpot - ()

POSTED: Monday, February 23, 2015

 Mikhol Caldwell contacted me via FB about a week after I last spoke to him:

Here is what he stated to me: 

 After careful consideration I had a change of perspective. I can see why you would be upset. My apologies for the mixup. I'm leaving (disputed program name), so I want to clear any bad blood. I'm man enough to admit when I make a mistake

Let me know if you have any questions. I moved on but I'll still be here to help.
The info is coming shortly.
Enjoy

 Next email:

No problem Pete and let me reiterate my sincerest apologies for the delay in my getting this over to you.  I'm glad you enjoyed it.

 Summary - We all make mistakes - some people will do something to make it right.

Caldwell = Lie - Cheat - Steal - Delete

AUTHOR: LeadSpot - ()

POSTED: Saturday, February 14, 2015

# 1 - this amature thinks he can say he is not in Dayton Ohio - BUT - if you know anything about anything you can simply watch his "income videos" and track him down to where he buys his groceries... that being said -

 

I signed up (one of his other programs) under this broke - nickel & dime poser - and was promised his enhanced "training" for free - 

But guess what - as SOON as I paid my sign up fee I was S.O.L. 

Waited from mid -December 2014 to mid Feb -2015 just to be told "NO"

 

New program same game -Lie - Steal - Cheat - Delete

#19 UPDATE Employee ..inside information

GREAT Company and Program

AUTHOR: QTS - ()

POSTED: Monday, December 15, 2014

There are TWO options with this company.  

One:  Work on commission and the agent you are working with will pay you to answer calls and/or buy you the $500 program so you can earn the serious income.  

TWO:  You become an agent and purchase the program and business start-up.

If you don't want to do any of those two than just go find another job to apply. Simple.

If you decide to become an agent and start your own business this is a great program.  Start a business under $750.00 and be in control of your own destiny and earn Much more than getting a JOB.  I've owned several businesses and Believe Me $750 is Nothing.  99.99% of businesses spend $750 a week just to advertise let alone rent, utilities, employees, fixtures, etc, etc.

It requires work and effort.   Just like if you go get a JOB.  I don't know of any company that will pay you to just sit there all day and do nothing.  If you aren't will to put in the effort.  Take the hits and find a solution instead of blame others than perhaps you need to go to work for someone else.

Mike Caldwell is an Upstanding guy.  I have worked with him for months and he does everything he can to help his fellow agents.  

By looking at your email it certainly appears like you have put words in his mouth.

Mike Caldwell IS what this person claims

AUTHOR: Ray Keller - ()

POSTED: Sunday, November 03, 2013

He stole money from me (Ray Keller) and never delivered.  Anyone who reads this and does work with you Mike (con artist) Caldwell will kick themselves later, no question.  Stay away from him people.  Listen to your gut when it tells you "no".  As much as you want to succeed and make money, learn from people like myself who paid him $397 and worked my butt off and rarely got a call even leaving his software running all day for an entire week. 

Mike Caldwell will steal your money and not lose a wink of sleep over you.  His company names are Paragon Leads and Lead Net Pro

He lies and tells people no one will believe them for posting facts of his business.

AUTHOR: Anonymous - (United States of America)

POSTED: Sunday, December 02, 2012

Unfotuntely then he writes false comments claiming we are writing false comments. I only speak truth.  This man needs to be taken out. He makes a weak attempt to manipulate people into giving him close to 400$. Then when you ask a question he makes disrespectful racist comments.

Then when you report him he calls you a liar for trying to alert others to his scam. (unfortunately for him, at this point he has posted false comments which hurt our characters, you can sue him at this point because when looking for a job one is likely to find reports of me being a liar from this man. Which I am not.  

His posts calling us liars are him claiming we are what he is.  We are not.  Do not do business with this man.  He will burn in hell.  No reason for him to drag you down.  Contact an attorney if he posts lies about you telling the truth. Here in this photo is my email he sent saying how it doesnt matter if I report him, because nobody will listen.

Claims no cost now?

AUTHOR: Anonymous - (United States of America)

POSTED: Sunday, December 02, 2012

This man told me I need 397$ to start.  Yet on this site he says that there are no costs.

This is the 3rd Lie I have proven on this website.  Yet he still continues to slander me...

He has done this to another person, and then treated them the same.

It seems that every word he says is a blatant lie.

He wrote what he wrote.  I do not edit stuff and then post it.  If i did, he would be trying to sue me for those statements.  As he knows they are true, he is bluffing legal issues.  

I am not.  Attorney has been contacted.

Youre digging your own grave deeper, and deeper, with each exposed lie.  Just give up and leave me alone and realize you writing my name in your posts is what has gotten you into a lawsuit.

Click on the photo.  It proves his last statement is a lie.  AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN!

Classic case Liar vs Truth

POSTED: Sunday, December 02, 2012

As usual.  The truthful person speaks only truth.  

As usual.  The liar says the truthful person is lying.

Yet, it is the liar who is claiming the other person is doing what they are doing.

In this case.  The liar has a libel case.  The photos are proof.  Zoom in to your hearts content.  The only person who edited those writings, was
Michael Caldwell aka
Mikhol Caldwell.

Austin last name Olk is upset because I chose not to work with him.

AUTHOR: PGLeads - (United States of America)

POSTED: Sunday, December 02, 2012

Just wanted to wait and see how much would be said before I posted another response.

First off,  The emails in the images are totally fake.  He manufactured them to say what he wanted some how.  Here's the thing...I AM NOT JEWISH, LOL.  I don't know why he chose to single out Jewish people and imply that they are all racist people that can't wait to call someone a n**i, but I highly disagree and I'm appalled by the implication.

Secondly,  My company does not require $399 to become an employee.  Paragon Lead Solutions is a lead generation company i.e. "Lead Solutions."  We work with hundreds of independent contractors that hire individuals to take calls for them in their respective businesses and pay based on commission.  There is another option to join the software sales portion of the opportunity with as independent sales rep.  That option does require some start up costs be paid. 

Some people don't qualify for either.  Here's what I mean by qualify...

If you have to be convinced or "sold" on joining as a telesales rep and helping the independent reps, or if you have to be convinced or "sold" on becoming an independent sales reps within the software company, this isn't for you.  We're looking for leaders that will see a good opportunity and blitz into action.  The most important thing in business is avoiding as many headaches as possible.  A smart businessman will distance himself from a person as soon as he sees that person will be more of a headache than a success story. 
Having said that...

Once again, anyone that will form an opinion of our business based on the false statement from someone that didn't qualify, didn't pay anything, called me moron and idiot while saying I called him names, not to mention assumed I was Jewish and created false statements based on that assumption, and was rejected, it's probably better that you not join anyway.

i have a 143 iq and still its nothing more than giving you $400 that qualifies someone for your scam.  Why do you pretend being legitimate on this site, yet you are an immature little b**** behind a computer unwilling to provide a factual location or to even answer 1 simple question...

Why does it cost 400$ to have the ability to send someone an email asking for $400 so that they, in turn, learn that you are doing nothing more than scamming people for money.  You mention nothing of work and run like a dog when that simple question is brought up.  Then you attribute it to operation costs?  

Quit pretending that people arent qualified for your b***s**.  Youre the scum of the earth and you will rot in an eternal abyss.

Once again the person that filed this complaint is Austin, last name is Olk.

Austin,
Once again you are attempting to sabotage my business by posting ridiculous comments.
With regards to your funny comment,

What's funny is the only two comments are from people I decided not to work with.  There are no comments from people that have actually worked with me or are a part of our network.  I think this says a lot.  Once again, the person that would form their opinion based on your post isn't someone I would want to do business with anyway.  Posting a list of emails that have been edited by you doesn't prove anything.

Do us both a favor and let's just move on.

Good Luck and I'm sorry you're not a fit for what we're doing.

The gentlemen that made this post is Austin out of Nebraska.

Austin,
In the United States of America, we have the constitutional right to decide who we want to do business with and who we want to avoid doing business with.  I'm sorry that you don't possess the qualifications I am looking for.  No money was taken from you or asked of you.  You did not pass the qualification process.  Why you think it's necessary to take the internet and accuse me of scamming you is ridiculous.  You weren't scammed, you were passed on. 

In an attempt to sabotage our business, you are now posting totally false statements. Any person that would make a decision based on your post is someone I wouldn't want on my team anyway.  So nice try.
