Applied Knowledge Institute. Global Education Scam as Business Consultants & Business Operation Education on the South Orem Utah
I believe this business is a #1 RIPOFF! Shame on Ken Sonneberg and his associates for misrepresenting themselves as "educators dedicated to getting YOU up and running a successful online business. It sure seems like a complete SCAM and FRAUD. They strong-arm you to get you on board presenting the dream over and over and over again.
They use words like "You want to be successful, don't you?" Well, of course I (and anybody that buys their product) wants to be successful. The follow-up sales pitch to that question is, "THEN you absolutely need our services in educating you to the "ins and outs of doing business on the internet." THEY FAIL MISERABLY. And, I question their legitmacy.
At best....they do provide some VERY BASIC information on posting on ebay, Google and they are quick to say they help you develop dropshippers. BULL. I've struggled finding reputable drop shippers.....either those that are fee based or not. After 2 months of searching I finally received a generic list of suppliers. And most of them, don't even carry products that could provide support of any kind to my potential business.
THESE PEOPLE NEED TO BE STOPPED. They bully you, put pressure on you at every turn of the road. So long as you will pay them lots of money (in excess of $6,000) they are "content". Their statements of grandeur for success seem untruthful. NOTHING and I mean NOTHING that they share with you can be deemed as useful.
Add another associated company charged (another $2,800) for "essential elements" and tax help. It's a joke. What I received from that particular company, I could have paid my attorney to do for $300. Why didn't I, you ask? Because Global Education, The Coaching Department, Applied Knowledge Inc., and MOST THE ASSOCIATES THEY GIVE YOUR NAME TO OR THAT THEY REFER YOU TO seems to be associated somehow with these businesses. They misrepresent themselves and so do the other organizations that serve them. I was led to believe the a tax company, for instance, was part of The Coaching Department........until they strong-armed me to pay them upfront.
And Global Education was worse. "Well, you want to be successful, don't you?" (Their exact words over and over again. Well again, of course I do and anyone that buys into their education is looking for building an opportunity and not without investing time and money. My case in point. But when all they provide you is VERY BASIC common sense information......something is really wrong with this picture.
If anyone out there is putting together a class action suit against them, count me in.
