Hey! I Saw Your Commercial // Mike Pointer Scam Artist, Liar, Manipulator Los Angeles California

Mike Pointer invited me to his free class. I was looking for a commercial class, so I signed up. The minute I did, he told me I would have to pay a $25 fee to reserve my spot, but it would be returned the week after or applied to my classes if I chose to take more. His "class" was him basically telling us all the amazing people he's coached and worked with and how they hire him long term and fly him places. There were wasn't a lot of diversity in the pictures, which is kind of weird cause he's a black dude. He kept talking about the "rat race" of the industry and how minorities who aren't cute or popular have a hard time. Someone asked him to explain and he said "Asians and Mexicans are in right now." Um... Okay. I'm a black guy, so I was kind of put off by that.

Then he kept talking about his faith and spirituality and God and that was annoying too. 2 hours had gone by and we hadn't learned anything. Then he showed us a list of places we shouldn't go and people we shouldn't talk to, and went on another rant about how only 5 or us will work once a year and all these agencies are rip-offs and badmouthing people he didn't agree with and how God was going to come back. LOL. Okay. by now I just wanted to get out, but he was trying to sell himself because he was running out of time. He asked the people who had paid the $25 deposit to sign their email addresses on a special piece of paper with our names and I thought it was to get a cool gift. Later I found out he charged all of us for the full amount of $217 twice in a month! When I asked him about it, he said that I signed up and that's why I gave my email address and that it wasn't his fault that I missed my class. I never went to one class, I just ran out of there, because he was making me so angry. 

I got my bank to reverse the 2 charges and then last week, I saw another charge for $217!!! I closed my card and went there, but he wouldn't talk to me. After looking around, I see that a lot of people are getting smart about this scam artist and apparently he's illegal too. BEWARE of MIKE POINTER and BEWARE of HEY I SAW YOUR COMMERCIAL!
