Maverick Seminars Scam to sell bogus Tom Hopkins seminars Chandler Arizona
A rep for Maverick called Nick came to our office to sell participation in a Tom Hopkins training that was supposed to happen in Carlsbad, CA, in May 2008. We were assured that Tom Hopkins himself would be leading this sales training.
Nick is about 5'10", 185lbs, caucasian, pale skin, dark blonde/light brown hair, is a smooth talker, dresses professionally and has a good pitch, but he doesn't carry business cards (red flag).
He sold admission to this supposed event at $159 to six people.
About a week prior to the supposed seminar, we received anonymous notification from "Customer Service" at Maverick that the event had been cancelled, with no specific date as to when it would be re-scheduled.
We called Tom Hopkin's organization and they were as pissed off as us at Maverick for defaulting on monies owed.
We attempted to call Maverick numerous times, but you will never be able to get through and speak to a live a person.
I disputed the charge through my credi card company, but after 3 months of back and forth they have put forth information that supposedly indicates no money is refundable after 3 days of purchase. I'm contesting the autghenticity of this documentation through the credit card company.
Their "billing specialist" is a lady by the name Jessica Hoffman.
Jessica claims that we were given an audio training disk at the presentation - not true. She also claims that we were told that we were actually buying a gift card for Maverick products and trainings - not true.
To date none of us has any audio training disk or a "gift card" redeemable for training or product.
This company, Jessica Hoffman, and her associates have gone to great lengths to deny the refund. It's odd coming froma company that supposedly teaches good sales skills - all reputable trainers I've ever dealt with have a no-questions asked refund policy, 100% satisfaction guranteed. Not Maverick Seminars.
Buyer beware, Maverick Seminars is a shameless scam to ripp you off.
