This is indeed a scam. I purchased their Social Media Manager program for $97. Thankfully, I charged it to my credit card, so I will dispute the charges.
The course was a real joke. Just general, worthless information. There is nothing of value on their members page.
I attempted to contact them to cancel. The phone number on the web site is disconnected. I tried to submit a ticket on Ryans site and it links to an error page and my emails are unanswered.
I had a false sense of security that I could cancel and receive a refund if I didn't like what they provided. Next time I will check here first before purchasing anything online.
