Complaint Review: Tax Lien University

I ordered the Tax Lien University publication 'Creating Wealth Without Risk' by Steven E. Waters. A week later, I received a call from Eric Slawson with this outfit. He pursuaded me to 'enroll' in their mentorship program for a tuition fee of $4850.00. He assured me that I would be mentored by a "millionaire' with vast experience and resources to catapult me into this business. He said that I would be making up to $5000.00/mo by participating.

I wired the money and electronically signed a contract on 11/13/13 with World Net Services. A representitive informed me that I had 72 hours to reqest a refund. After that period, no refunds would be made. On 11/15/13, I requested a full refund. I emailed the company, followed up with a written reqeust sent by certified mail. I also called Mr. Slawson but had to leave him a message via voicemail. Eric called me urging me to continue with the program.

I refused, insisting on a refund. He said that I would be sent out by Friday, 11/22/13. He also took the time to mention he would be out of the office for a few weeks. Mr. Slawson called me the second week in December. When I told I hadn't received a refund, he said he would 'look into it' and hung up. That was the last communication I have received. I did take the time to filed a complaint with the Federal trade Comission.
