Please stay away from mike pointer!! I went to his class this year (2014 ) on a saturday for a free 1 hr introductory class. Mike comes off as a gentle giant and honest guy. He knows he is in hollywood and can pray on the weak. Hw will use common sense and basic techinques to make you think you need him for better sucess booking work WRONG.. every thing mike tells you is a basically a hook line and sink operation. 

He will make you think you need to take his class. I was fooled and signed up for the 4 week course along with my sister. He has a sign in sheet at the beginning of class DO NOT SIGN IT !!!! its Mike secret way of getting you to sign a contract stating he can charge your credit card for the full price of his class een if you do not want to take them. Luckily i paid cash. When my sister checked her ban statement mike took 40 out of her account for a deposit to hold a seat. Which is bull crap because his class wasnt even nearly full so why would you need to hold a seat. but the 40 was expected to be taken this is were mike is a SCAM !!! Not even three days later he took another 75 bucks from her. 

When we called him he said the 75 included his book and a seat for his next thursday class. Why would she give him 40 bucks to hold a seat then have to pay an additional 45 and hasent even attended one class. thats a total of 110 dollars all after attending the free class.

Mike was super un friendly and was really rude. Once i asked him to please not charge my younger sister card any more and we are not interested in taking his class Mike began threating me and telling me i would be banned from hollywood acting scene. 

I had my sister turn her card off the next day but before we could deactivate it Mike charge her card another 100 bucks. I reported him to my bank and i was issued all of my money back it took over a week and was very stressful.

I dont know how he is in business. Even after i politely asked him to take us off his list of students he still charged my card and told me over the phone he had every right to do so because we signed our name on the roll sheet aka hidden contract that he doesnt show you so when you finally re4alize he is a scam he can still charge you for the full price of his course.

 

It took Jesus to stop me from heading to his office and let him get a taste of real whooping but I rather just leave as many rep0rts on MIKE POINTER AS I CAN!!

Mike Pointer is a great man. He is fair and generous. He is straight-forward, honest, knowledgeable and sharing.  If someone gives their credit card information to pay for a class, the proper thing to do would be to take the funds from the card for the payment of the class. Mike's class isn't that pricey and I learned so much from him. He truly cares for people.
