Paranormal Research Society, LLC PRS, PRS, LLC, Ryan Buell, Sergey Poberezhny, Eilfie Music, Chris Edwards Sold a course for Demonology Class PRS126 for $100.00 in March 2013 and has yet (May 2014) to complete the 6 session class Raleigh North Carolina
On April 24th, 2013, I paid $100.00 Ryan Daniel Buell for a PRS126 (Demonology 101). I thought, who better to give such a class - they seemed legit and even had a television show where they supposedly exorcised several families from the dark forces of demons (The Name, I am Six, The Devil in Syracuse, The Possession: The Return of I am Six, etc). The PRS University Administrator was Alex Matsuo who had been subsequently terminated from PRS in June or July of 2013. The class was to start on May 3rd . Then the second, then technical issues, then nothing - promises made, promises broken and the class is a year overdue. I later learned from other students that the original start of PRS126 was in the fall of 2012 and was delayed until May of 2013 due to health reasons of the PRS director, Ryan Buell. Below is a excerpt of a post from Alex Matsuo regarding class updates showing the constant delays of the course until the class stopped receiving updates from Ryan in the fall of 2013:
PRS 126: DEMONOLOGY UPDATES 2013
IMPORTANT: This writeboard will be used to post announcements, such as any changes to class times, cancellations, uploading of documents, changes to documents, etc. It is your duty to check Basecamp daily to stay on top with everything. Once we post the syllabus, due dates, etc., you will have a good idea of what’s due, and any major changes, will be posted here. Although we will mass-email you when we make any major changes, do not rely solely on e-mails. To be on the safest of sides, check Basecamp at least two times a day, including the writeboard. Once as early as you can after you wake up, then mid-day we also recommend before retiring for the night.

Apologies for the reschedule and for those participating in the extra-curricular, we will see you Sunday at 7:30pm and the rest of you at 9pm EDT for lecture.
Meanwhile, I have learned that the course has over 300 other students who are in the same predicament I am in. We’ve paid approximately $35,000 for services that are not delivered. Since the course was delayed, We have witnessed Ryan and Sergey book other events and cancel, refund no one, but we had nowhere to turn to report this fraud.
There are many realistic but unauthenticated stories/rumors of drug abuse, sex abuse, and badly treated fans in PRS’s history. I have witnessed Ryan Buell systematically destroy PRS’s reputation due to delayed and un-refunded education seminars, camp paranormal, events, paranormal radio, fans, to the point they no longer can hide the fact. There are many others in the same situation as me and for a lot more money.
If Ryan and gang chose to work honestly, the could be making millions. But that is not how they work. They don't want to fulfill obligations. I get that he reportedly had cancer. The most deadly of all cancers. But by him advertising and trying to do business, it obligates him to conduct business according to law. It doesn't excuse him. I am seeking a refund but have been caught up in the ridiculousness of tryng to get my money back from this organization of ill repute and watching hundreds of others get burned by Ryan Buells fake company and not having any recourse.

On April 26th, 2014 - Ryan Buell sent out the following message regarding the resuming of overdue PRS126 class Demonology 101:
Announcement - It's Time To Resume
Hello everyone,
This is not the first time that we’ve tried to resume classes before. But I am ready to move forward with this subject and have the proper time to do this webinar that way that I envisioned. Technically, this webinar was completed two times. I promised 4 webinars and some extra-curriculars, and between the three different attempts, we’ve amassed, I believe, over 12 or so classes. But it isn’t what I wanted and I feel that I should re-start the class.
Unfortunately, circumstances beyond my control have prevented me from being able to take the proper time to complete this task, not to mention that this is a heavy subject.
The good news is that, over the past few years and a few attempts to resume, I have amassed quite a lot of materials that I believe will make for one hell of a web-series. As much as I’d love to hype up this subject, the truth is it’s hard to even feel excited when there’s a very sharp disappointment that I feel in not being able to complete this course with satisfaction. At some point, I felt a deep amount of disappointment for not being able to return to this course, and over time, it grew until it became overwhelming. But we here at PRS would like to return to proper form. For 13 years, PRS has been a leader in everything from conferences, events to even educational programs. The past two years… not so much.
By tomorrow, we’ll be laying out a complete new plan for the demonology webinar course. We will also be able to address most of the questions many of you may have.
This will be the last delay for this course. If for whatever reason we cannot resume classes by next month and cannot complete the course by summer, then we will fold and our staff will work with all of you to distribute credits/refunds/etc.
Details involving class dates, new contact info, structure, will roll out tomorrow.
Your patience and support has not been forgotten or ignored. I can’t begin to tell you how thankful I am, which is why I will work to provide you with something special. But we’ll leave it at that, and if all goes well, you’ll be in for a few treats that hopefully will show that your patience was not in vain.
Here we go.
RYAN
In the above post, Ryan claims he completed the class, but not his liking. Frankly, this is an insult to every student as we all know the class was never completed. The "Extra Credit" courses were just that, an never part of the original class. Ryan states that these counted towards the class and the class was completed, but again, no to his liking.
Between April 26th and May 2, there were a few more posts by Ryan - updates, case files uploaded, a survey was released to request information from the class regarding what the class wanted to focus on, etc. The survey was uploaded by Sergey P. on May 5th. There were activities scheduled to occur on May 5,6,7th, but the dates past and we have not heard from anyone from PRS since. Ryan's last post was on May 2nd. Below are a few of his long winded, but unuseful posts:
