I am a licensed Real Estate Broker in the states of Oregon and a Licensed Agent in Washington State. I was directed to Oregon Dept of Justice by the Oregon Real Estate Agency. I attended a free event on September 8, 2006, in Portland Oregon, by a group known as the FOCUS ON FORECLOSURE company. One of many companies by Russ Whitney, Inc. The subject was a 3 day class about foreclosures, pre-foreclosure financing, assumptions and short sale techniques and strategies. A subject I am very familiar with. They asked if there were any real estate agents in the audience. Then, the speakers told me the training could be used to satisfy our 30 hours of Continuing Education to renew our real estate licenses. NOT!! The actual training was to begin 20 days later, at the Airport Sheraton Hotel, on September 29th, 30th and end October 1st 2006. Well after our 3 day right to a refund expired as in their September 8th written agreement. The deception seems perfectly timed. During that training, and before each break, they would promise to get into the subject with tantalizing examples, but kept straying away. They would briefly talk about the study materials (to keep their promise) and then begin talking about something known as the Wealth Intelligence Academy. I slowly realized I had paid $199 to attend a rally for something else. The Wealth Intelligence Academy was never mentioned until after (the so called) training began. They now claim I could have demanded a refund by the morning of the 2nd day. That information appears nowhere in their written contracts or study materials. By the third day, Foreclosures, Short Sales and the needed skills and techniques were never talked about again. As a professionally trained Realtor of more then 12 continuous years, I know the FOF company never got into the details of this subject. The real intentions of the Focus on Foreclosure company were designed to go undiscovered, until after our Consumer Rights to Cancellation had expired. By the third day, October 1st, 2006, they began taking orders to become members of the Wealth Intelligence Academy, for $3000 to $9000. I was sitting among people who were members all along. The training turned into a rally to purchase a membership to the Wealth Intelligence Academy. During the three day event, they never really got into the details of the subject we paid for. I believe their business plan required my money to pay for this event. I felt like the whole training event was a complete hoax. I can demonstrate the steps in this blatant deception. Isn't the Oregon Dept. of Justice the proper authority to impress upon all the Russ Whitney organizations the importance of fair dealing and full disclosure in our state? 3922. Theft by deception. (a) Offense defined.--A person is guilty of theft if he intentionally obtains or withholds money or property of another by deception. A person deceives if he intentionally: 1. creates or reinforces a false impression, including false impressions as to law, value, intention or other state of mind; >Failure to disclose. It would have made a big impact on our decision if we knew FOF were part of the Russ Whitney Education Group
>The inability to discover the deception until after our Consumer Rights expire is our claim
