Complaint Review: Amanda Frances - Malibu California

I love Amanda Frances.

I was on this site to write a report on someone who I believe truly does rip off other people's teachings and delivery little to no value. I was surprised to see this when searching through online business complaints.

I'm enrolled in a few of Amanda's programs, but I love Money Mentality Makeover the most. It helped me to let go of the beliefs and stories and patterns I was stuck in from how I was raised, view myself as worthy and deserving, present myself in my career from a more capable and empowered place, and take intentional and determined steps in my career. I've received a promotion in the clinic I work in, my husband has implemented the mindset in his business, and we are both doing really well. I paid off my house. I feel so much more freedom around money. I know I can trust myself to handle this part of my life really well.

I really liked that the original five modules where there when I enrolled but that several new additional livestreams were added to the bonuses each year. The course keeps growing and I don't have to pay any more money. Since I've signed up she's added two modules and at least 15 bonus videos. I love them all, especially elevate into overflow. The noise of the waves you mentioned doesn't bother me. I sign in and play them all the time in my home and car. I believed this helped my husband a lot as he heard bits and pieces. The first few modules are a bit basic, but she builds and builds and builds through the modules and bonuses. I found module five, six and seven to have more depth than anyone else who teaches on money.

I liked the FB group as well. Amanda and her team answer questions in there continually, even a bit after the course is over, which is really helpful and generous. I also made a few friends in the group. There were a few girls bragging about their success the first week in the group like you said, it seemed to me like they were just promoting their businesses and when it didn't work they sort of faded away and the group went on.

I felt like the enrollment page was very clear that MMM was about changing your relationship with money, not making money online. I've heard Amanda say repeatedly that MMM isn't a business course, but a money course. 

She does have other courses specifically about online business so maybe you got confused.

I have a girlfriend in her course around online selling, "Sell from Your Soul" and her course on course creation "Course Creation Queen" who swears by both.

It sounds like you purchased the wrong course for you and maybe didn't read all of the details.

As you said, "With ther material I learned a few things, worked thought some limiting beleifs..." so maybe it helped you to the extent you allowed it to.

I'm also confused why you wanted to be an affiliate for these programs if you don't believe in or like Amanda's work? Or why it's a problem to have a group for affiliates to ask Qs on facebook. That whole section of your complain doesn't make sense to me. (Maybe they changed affiliate programs and people were signing up on the new platform and based on your general attitude were letting you know you didn't have to sign up again if you didn't want to.)

As far as the other commenter on this thread concerned that Amanda didn't live in Malibu. That seems like total silliness to me.

I just went and looked through her IG highlights. The "Malibu Vibes" and "Malibu Vibes 2" show the first beach out over a period of six months. The "New Beach House" shows the second place she lived over a period of at least a year (which makes sense as she had said she signed a year lease on the second house and extended it for one month when she was closing on her current house). I just don't think someone could fake daily ocean views, meals at the houses, friends at the houses, VIP days at the houses, a closet full of clothes at both houses for 18 months if they weren't living there.

I also followed her friend Laina's stories when Laina was staying with Amanda for several weeks while she was looking for a new apartment. How would Laina have faked the ocean views, meals in the house, and using Amanda's home workout equipment each day if Amanda didn't live there?

She never said or implied she owned either the Malibu houses. She said multiple times that she was living in Malibu while looking for the right house for her to buy. She talked about how the lease multiple times. It was even menioned on the MMM sign up page in the part where she was telling her story when I purchased.

While she lived in Malibu, she bought a duplex and quadplex in her hometown and shared about those experiences. She has a YouTube video recorded in Malibu where she breaks down finding the first house to buy.

When she purchased the home she lives in now, she shared that it was at the edge of West Hollywood and Beverly Hills. She is always really really really transparent about purchases, investments, real estate, business earnings, etc. Way more than she has to be.

The IG highlight called "Bought a House" and "AF home" show her renovation process since she bought the house she lives in now. I don't think someone can fake gutting a bathroom, laundry room, bar area and closet like she shows us in those highlights.

This is honestly a lot of silliness - and if you follow along and pay attention - you'll see that Amanda is really really transparent and shares a lot more of her life and the details of how she does things then she certainly is required to. The five highlight reels show her in these houses every day. Working, eating, working out, watching TV, having friends over, etc...

She owns a online education and coaching company that grows and grows and grows each year. The company pays her a salary and with that she bought a house in West Hollywood and other smaller properties in her hometown along the way as investments. None of this is hardly controversial.

If she wanted to buy crystal boots and share about them, it's really a big leap to say that was from 'your' money, when tens of thousands of people buy and love her programs.

As far as her IG doubling, she shared that she participated in an IG contest where people liked her page and a few other business pages to be elegable to win.

I've taken so many online courses from people who do not deliver the way they say they will.

Amanda shares so much free content with her weekly youtube and podcast and constant social media inspirational writing and adds so many updates and bonuses to courses for alumni without asking for more money to receive the new content. She shares what it's really like to grow a business slowly and with determination for like a decade. This woman didn't get here over night and you'd know that if you'd pay attention.

It's like y'all are paying attention, but not paying enough attention to find out the details, feel better, or know the facts.

There are a lot more productive things we could all be doing than talking about this.

Amanda Frances of AmandaFrances.com, lives in West Hollywood not this Malibu Millionaire life she's been claiming for years. Why is she lying? Because people give her money because this instas-sham!

Why lie if you're living your best life, Amanda?

Her money doesn't come because she has the answers to abundance, it's because people think she does and don't understand it's their money she's playing with.

*** I know how to get rich and live a fabulous life, give me money and I will show you! *** 

1. She says she can get money.
2. You give her YOUR money.
3. Now she has money.
4. Rinse. Recycle. Repeat.

Now that people are catching on, she is using words like scam artist and fraud so her website comes before these rip-off reports. There are a few here of her.

Amanda has old friends from the beginning (the people that get the cut of your affiliate fees and act like new people who made hundreds of thousands- the cheerleaders) she has them confront the people in the group that all of a sudden realize something is amiss, they are in debt and are bullied into silence or blocked all together, so they don't find allies or feel locked into a contract and can't get money back. 

------ But people have gotten their money back. Contact your bank (usually works). Have a lawyer send her a certified letter, which you can require doing a search through the instruction of the next paragraph. Do not feel you have to be quiet. Warn others, get your support group together. Class action this. If you want to spiritually grow, you have to be of service in your own way and that's by protecting others when you have been a victim yourself. With that group you can have an abundance money love session, for free but for real. No bullying.

That said, don't you dare tell Amanda about how you're going to make money. Anything remotely like hers and she will shut it down. You can't get a group together or talk about manifest anything. 

First and foremost, she has never lived in Malibu. I point this out because part of her image is her beach house and cook and living so lux. Her current home is in West Hollywood. I will not show that information here, but if you do a white pages premium search it will show. Where and how she lives is part of her pitch, so this is all part of the lie.

August 2019 - October 2019 living in West Hollywood at the current address that are in her instagram highlights of a place she just "bought". I assume this was her moving out or maybe moving in, but Malibu it is not.

From April 2017 - September 2019 (when she was supposed to be living in California) her residence was Florida. Then there is a whole list, she moves around a lot, none of which is California.  Her Delaware business license last time I checked was also inactive as I recall. But those pictures - it's an AirBnb world. 

Do a search on "website net worth" put in AmandaFrances.com. Nowhere NEAR a million dollars. 

Report her to the FTC. Report her to Paypal to investigate the paypal receipts. 

You can get a lot of manifestion for money information free, paying does not mean it is worth more - that is the trick. You have to do the work, paying is not doing the work. When she says debt is not a bad thing, people have lost tens of thousands of dollars not seeing results, your debt is not bad - for her. 

Debt it real. 

If you want to know how a social media persona can pretend to have millions - she has people paying her a lot of money for doing nothing you can't do. You can find a group of friends with common beliefs. You can practice meditating. You don't need a leader, *you can be the leader.*

Also, if you want to play the part of an instagram lux life.

• fake paypal invoices. Google it. 
• renttherunway.com - you can rent luxury bags and dresses etc. 
• You can buy on ebay boxes and shopping bags of designer goods like Chanel.
• You can also go into the stores, buy one thing and the people will give you boxes.
• AirBnb.
• Have a scout find locations for shooting. Hotels everywhere will let you rent out rooms inbetween people staying overnght for an hourly rate.
• As a social personality, you get a lot of comp.

Amanda, I know you are reading this. Why not honestly guarantee money back? Why not be real about not living in Malibu? I am doing you a favor by not telling people more. With evidence. Now it's time for everyone to start speaking up - my work here is done.
