Well all of what has already been said is pretty accurate about this company. The offer: 2 FREE CDs and a FREE Book, for $3.95 s/h.. so $3.95 means FREE?

Ok so the $3.95 is for s/h.. So you say, I can give them $3.95 for the secrets to incredible wealth, it is worth it, right?

I received a box, not an envelope, of 11 CDs and a book.

I thought right away why so much for only $3.95?

I came online and searched this company and there it was, all these others saying they were charged $99.00 after 30 days.. I was like oooooh ___, I got scammed.

Sure enough the website I ordered it from does mention the $99.00 in microscopic print but not at all in the main checkout total when you put your CC number in and certainly nowhere in the advertising for the FREE CD and book.

So, what to do. Call the 800 number, ask for a return authorization number, don't wait, they will charge your card. Call and say you want to return it, before you go they will offer it for $75, then $49.00, then $24.95, then $14.90.. just be stubborn and say no alot, I have read it can go as low as $9.90.

Just say no no no and the offers will keep coming, or get your authorization number and send it back, maybe you will get lucky and they won't charge your card, or maybe they will.

Looks like a decent little course so I paid the $14.90 when I got him down that low. To me the ideas and suggestions are worth that much, besides you pay shipping to send it back anyway. You decide what you think it is worth or not worth, your dime, but you can negotiate them way down from the $99.00 if you just stay cool on the phone and hang in there.

GOOD LUCK, they are very sly the way they get that CC number and then hit you for $99.00 30 days later. I was lucky and caught it before they did about 15 days after I ordered it. My advice if you are already in it and they have your CC number? call them right away and get it settled before your return period expires.

100% Money Back Gaurantee

AUTHOR: Bruce A Berman - ()

POSTED: Saturday, August 02, 2014

Our company had a 100% money back guarantee. We never refused to give a refund to anyone even a year after they bought the product and used it.  When you sell millions and millions of products over the internet you can expect the following, competitors to use sites like rip off report and “review sites” to try and discredit you and poach your web traffic, a small percent of people to be unhappy with you know matter what you do or say. I am actually quite astonished that there is less than 20 complaints on this page as we had sold over 5 million CD’s and books over the internet. Our company model was modeled after book of the month clubs, record clubs and many other nationally known companies.  It was simple we did give you a Free Book if you just pages shipping. We also had a box you could check if you wanted a 30 day free trial of our other products. There was nothing deceptive about our practices. We had a customer service call center that was open 24 hours a day 7 days a week 365 days a year.  We only accepted credit cards for payment so therefore a person would have the ability to file a chargeback with their credit card company and get an immediate credit. You can’t please all the people all the time however I know firsthand that people benefited from my products. Thank you for taking the time to read this. Bruce A Berman.
