Russ Whitney Deceptive Business Practices Cape Coral Florida
On Thursday, February 28th, I was involuntarily separated from my position at the Rocky Flats Environmental Technology Site (RFETS) in Arvada, Colorado.
Soon after, I saw an infomercial on TV, claiming that I could be wealthy, beyond my wildest dreams if I would attend a free seminar at the Adams Mark hotel in Denver, Colorado.
At this first secession, a very talented presenter by the name of Rodney pontificated for several hours, relating success stories about how practitioners of these advanced techniques could produce untold wealth using real estate investment tools.
After the presentation was completed, we were then informed, to discover the true secrets of real estate investing, we would have to purchase an additional educational package for $1580 where we, the students, would receive the secrets of wealth accumulation. I purchased and attended this seminar, fully expecting to be taught the secrets of real estate investing that Rodney had so vividly proclaimed in the previous secession.
Instead, what we got was just another three day tickler secession where these concepts were briefly over-viewed but were told if we really wanted to learn the trade and become millionaires, the students would have to purchase an entire series of boot-camps located across the nation.
Mr. John Gilmore, the boot-camp facilitator at the Denver, Colorado location in April of this year did an exceptional job of convincing the audience to invest anywhere from $6,900 to $32,890 for their program(s). His presentation was so effective and convincing that he actually encouraged the participants to use (max-out) every credit-card they owned, borrow money and / or use every means available to purchase this line of product(s).
I fell for this as did many others that day. Today, I am indebted to a tune of approximately $12,500 for a series of semi-related tapes, boot-camps and real estate software package(s) which are at best, only marginally to totally useless and ineffective.
The Real Estate software package which was proclaimed by Mr. Gilmore to be valued at $1995 is absolutely worthless. While attending the WholeSale Buying class in Fort Worth, Texas and the Real Estate Foreclosure class in Atlanta, Georgia, class facilitator(s), Todd Dotson and Tony Youngs urged students to ignore that software package and use the extensively abbreviated form(s) that were provided in their class-specific student work packages (see attachments). This drew immediate questions from several students as to why they were so vigorously encouraged to purchase this costly package and their response was thats why Russ Whitney gets paid the Big Bucks. Outrageous
The Whitney organization is a high pressure sales team that sells numerous real estate boot-camps to potential real estate investors across the country. Their organization is extremely effective in marketing this program to unemployed, underemployed or doleful, displaced persons desperately looking for a get-rich quick scheme in the real estate market.
Out of pocket, I spent three (3) hours with a real estate attorney in Lakewood, CO, in an attempt to incorporate Russs foreclosure techniques into the laws, as they currently exist in Colorado. The conclusion we came to was that these techniques were unworkable in Colorado, and to be successful, extensive modification to Russs course(s) would be required, not to mention, a tremendous amount of cash.
In this age of corporate fraud and scandal, the fact that the Whitney International organization prays upon persons who may be in an precarious financial situation with visions of instant wealth and financial freedom appears disingenuous and dispiriting.
I have attached a list of students who attended the WholeSale Buying Camp in the Dallas-Fort Worth area this past summer. I have attempted to correspond to each of these persons and inquire regarding their success as a result of the seminar. Every person who choose to respond indicated this effort was at best, a marginal failure to a total waste of time and money.
All materials, tapes, study guides and software packages have been returned to the Whitney organization.
