Narconon Of Southern California will NOT return money and is deceitful. June Rosenberry, Bruce Haddrill and Nic Behner only want YOUR MONEY!! They Make You Believe That They Care!! Los Angeles And Newport Beach California

Hi Daniel...

Your assumption is probably right on the money (no pun intended).

NarCONon is known for dragging it's feet on refund issues because of it's ties to Scientology. Requests for any refunds have to be made "uplines" to the CoS finance division. As you're likely aware, Scientology hates losing money.

However, with the right pressure, Narconon will "make a very rare exception" (they say) and refund some money, usually for the balance of the time in the program not taken. This usually comes about when things like lawyers or government intervention are mentioned.

Whoever settles with a Narconon is usually made to sign an agreement that stipulates that as part of the settlement, the person has to go to wherever they bad mouthed the facility, including ROR (what, you don't think they watch this place?? LOL!), submit a retraction and keep their mouths shut about Narconon and Scientology forever thereafter. Literally. they will sue around $10k for each utterance of the name Narconon or Scientology.

No, I am not kidding.

Also, as part of the "settlement", in NDA fashion, people are told what they can and cannot say, how to say it and how much detail they can (not) include. We'll likely never hear from Linda (or whoever) again, except to repeat herself.

Dear Linda or Arlene or whichever name you go by,
I'm glad you got your money back because you were ripped off by Narconon like so many others have been, myself included. But it seems like you were made to write that update as part of your settlement. It sounds a bit like the reply of the other Linda aka Middle-aged mom, Barrington, Illinois. Both updates minimize all the hell that Narconon put you both through. Since Narconon has caused alot of upset for alot of people and their loved ones, since I know they make you sign a gag agreement once you accept the money, since your story stands and stays on the internet despite your update I say that even if you you can't say any of this now because of that gag, I can.

There were no misunderstanding in my situation with Narconon. Only the lies they told and truth that came out after my fiancee paid out our hard earned savings and money from her credit cards. Narconon has still not repaid her and I was only there 4 days. Your update gives me some hope. Thank you.

I have received my full refund of $15,500 from Narconon and was called by the executive director from Narconon to apologize for this delay and any misunderstanding. I do believe the program has done good for many people who have attended and completed the program. We all need to focus on the recovery of our loved ones and to try to prevent any misunderstanding in the future.
