On feburary 5th 2007 I attended a free seminar on real estate investing only to be told that I needed to spend $995.00 to attend a three day workshop on real estate investing. I accepted the offer and paid with a credit card.

On March 2nd 3rd and 4th I attened the work shop only to find out that this so called work shop was another promotional attempt to educate me at the Wealth Intelligence Academy in Florida at a cost of up to $75,000.00.

I started to see a pattern. I paid $995.00 for the opportunity to get suckered into spending even more money when no service was provided in the first place.

That's an expensive three days only to walk away with nothing.

I wonder what I get for $75,000.00 ?

I don't understand how one SCAM after the next can be legal.I am sure that if it were I that were "SCAMING" the "company" I would be facing a fine and/or jail time. What do you think??

can i get my money back ?

AUTHOR: Russell - moon township (U.S.A.)

I have heard of people that have used their credit card to pay for the RUSS WHITNEY scam and received a refund by contacting their credit card company and disputing the charges ,but when I tried this I was told that the charges on my CITIBANK account were valid "BECAUSE" per student agreement I had 3 days from the date of sale to cancel (the seminar was a Month away from the date of sale) What kind of joke is this ?? what good is the 3 days. How do I get my money back ?

You are one of the smart ones

So you spent 995.00 on a worthless seminar. If you read the other posts about Whitney, or others like John Beck there may be some ideas about how to go about getting your money back. The reason many people get suckered in to spending more is that they usually have extremely polished sociopathic speakers at these seminars, and many people justify spending additional money because they tell themselves that they already have 995.00 invested so they will spend more. Whitney and fellow psycopaths are counting on this mindset. You are one of the smart ones who walked and saw through this total crap.

Hey,Sue the speaker

Look, while you are all writting about how mad you all are at a company , why the heck do you not go after the speaker of your seminar??????? You know what, you can easier than going after the company. Note very few if not all speakers are investers and they can not prove it in a court of law. How do I know? I was one for two months.
