If you are hired with a contract. Expect him to change it on a whim. He will ad commissions so that you will "be paid " what you were stated. YOU Will NEVER GET PAID. You will call , email and beg. You will not get paid.

Response to On-Line Complaint

AUTHOR: Admin@coach-masters.com - ()

POSTED: Thursday, August 07, 2014

The following statement made on behalf of Michael Palazzo is in no way an admission of liability or guilt in any legal proceeding.

During the period of time from Jan 2008 through the end of 2012, various individuals posted defamatory and highly prejudicial statements under the name of “Anonymous". Complainants in these postings appeared to be vendors and individuals who worked as independent contractors for Mr. Palazzo.

Mr. Palazzo filed chapter 7 bankruptcy in the southern district of Florida in 2012 as a result of a financial failure with his business ventures in North Carolina. Any and all financial matters have been answered in that case.

Due to unforeseen economic challenges and in no small part as a result of the economic downturn in 2008, Mr. Palazzo experienced a personal tragedy and corporate failure.

Where possible, all legitimate complaints were addressed and resolved. This statement in it’s entirety will serve as the sole response to any and all complaints filed in these matters in the public domain using Ripoff  Report or any other blog sites.

Michael Palazzo still committing Fraud

AUTHOR: Brian - (United States of America)

POSTED: Wednesday, December 19, 2012

Michael Palazzo is now operating under the guise of the new company, coach-masters.com. All phone numbers and contact info is funneled directly to his voicemail. There are no ways to contact him directly. He recently welched on a conference here in Salt Lake City, and while in town, he came to my place of business to print his conference manuals. He then pulled a fast one on an employee when picking up the product. His total was over $100, and he only presented a $100 bill. When told it there was an amount due still, he took back the money, and convinced my employee he was late for these classes, and would call with a credit card, as his "was being re-issued as it expired". 

While it is my employee's fault for letting it go, he is still a fraud. He has made several contacts "promising" to pay, only to be un-reachable and to avoid returning any calls. I have reported his fraud to the better business bureau in New Jersey, his newest place to commit fraud, as well as my corporations legal division.
