I bought the course because Mr. Sylver said he was giving us a big discount from $3000 to $1995, and he was throwing in a free 3 day seminar. When I received the course, the packing slip said that the course costs $1013.75. I called their office about this discrepancy and talked to Bernese who said that the seminar was $1995 and the course was free. This is the opposite of what Mr. Sylver said. Basically, Mr. Sylver was playing on peoples emotions at the seminar and got us to think that we were getting a big discount, when in reality we were paying double what the course costs. On top of all that, the seminar was to be here in Las Vegas starting Aug. 15, and now I find out that it has been moved to Oct. 8. We are not going to be in Las Vegas on Oct. 8 because we will be out of state attending my mothers 82nd birthday.

There are big discrepancies, people saying different things and different prices, they wont answer the phone or return calls or emails, changing dates ect., These are very deceptive business practices and I don’t like what’s going on. I feel like I’m getting scammed and I just want my money back, but they refuse to do this or make any ajustments.

Not the First, Contact the Attorney General of Nevada

AUTHOR: AG Nevada - Carson City (USA)



Hello, 



Have you done a web
search on Marshall Sylver?



 



Why don't you contact
your local Attorney General office or the State of Nevada Attorney General office?
(We can work with anyone from Any State; you were a victim in Nevada)



 



This is not the first time
this is happening or happened and will not be the last.



 



If you have or know of
others who have had the same thing happen, contact them to help get involved.
 



 



It took a group to bring
the light on him in 2003 and will take a group again.
 



"Marshall Sylver, real name
Marshall Sylwesterzak, was indicted by a grand jury in 2003 around his “Millionaire Mentorship Program.” This
program was advertised via seminars, radio advertisements, and internet
advertising. This mentorship program claimed to be a 10-week intensive program
where participants would get one-on-one mentoring so they could learn the
skills for becoming a millionaire…at the cost of between $4,500 and $6,000.
"



 



You will also be saving
many people from the pain you are going through.



 



Did you do anything with
his "Multi-Level Marketing Program" Prosperity Alliance?



Bet you did not know he
is not licensed to do this!



 



Its not an
"Affiliate" program as he says... because its more than 2 levels of
payment (if he pays you or anyone else)



 



You cannot have someone
pay lots of money up front to get into a "Multi-Level" or
"Affiliate" program.  



 



That is a felony and the
A.G.'s office is looking for people to come forward again.

scam go to: http://prosperityalliancescam.com/

GRAND JURY INDICTES MARSHALL SYLVER ON NINE FELONY CHARGES



Las Vegas—Attorney General Brian Sandoval announced today that the Clark
County Grand
Jury
returned an indictment Friday against Marshall Walter Sylwesterzak, a.k.a.
‘Marshall Sylver,’
accusing him of nine (9) felony counts of theft by obtaining
money under false pretenses. Felony
counts involve thefts of $250.00 or more. The charges are
derived from some of the business practices
associated with Sylwesterzak’s “Millionaire Mentorship Program.” Sylwesterzak, or Sylver, has
advertised his “Millionaire Mentorship Program” on radio, the
Internet and through other seminars,
as a 10-week intensive program, wherein participants will receive
personal, one-on-one “millionaire
mentoring” to learn the skills skill necessary to become a
millionaire. Sylver has claimed that
his program is an “elite course” and that only qualified individuals
who are “pre-interviewed” will be
allowed to take the course. Sylver also advertised that his program
has a money back guarantee: if a
participant does not double his investment in the program within
three months, Sylver will provide a
full refund. The program cost ranges from $4,500.00 to $6,000.00.



The indictment alleges Marshall Sylver refused to honor his
promised money-back guarantee,
that he did not provide the promised mentoring and that he did
not pre-interview anyone for the
“Millionaire Mentorship Program.”



Theft by obtaining money under false pretenses is a category ‘C’
felony and carries a sentence
of one to five years. If convicted on all charges, Sylver faces
up to forty-five years in prison.



As with all criminal matters, allegations are merely accusations, and
individuals are presumed innocent unless
and until proven guilty in court.



Individuals who may have been victimized by Marshall Sylver or
his companies should call the



Attorney General’s Bureau of Consumer Protection 



in Las Vegas at (702) 486-3194; 



in Reno at (775) 688-1818; or 



in Carson City at (775) 687-6300.
