I was scammed out of $8,500 by Mentoring of America and Jeff Paul (The "crooked" end of so many "seemingly legitimate" businesses such as Jeff Paul and John Beck. Aside from the usual BBB, FTC and Attorney General Compaints, I've written e-mails to 20/20, Dateline, Nightline, 60 Minutes and 60 Minutes 2. I probably won't get an answer from them unless they believe they have a story. Well, LET'S GIVE THEM A STORY.... Let's overwhelm them with e-mails about how we ALL got ripped off by this company and how the laws in Utah and so many other states favor the consumer and allow for shadowy companies to enforce "no-refund policies and tape-recorded iron-clad contracts". I work for a two local Hispanic TV stations in San Diego and I know what attracts reporters to a good story. Right now one of our best reporters is doing a piece on other types of frauds such as credit protection programs and buyer clubs. If they see a "growing problem", an "epidemic" or a "community uniting against the crooks", they might consider investigating. Here are the e-mail addresses of the shows that I have written emails to. 20/20 --- [email protected] Dateline ---- [email protected] CBS shows (48 Hours, 60 Minutes and 60 Minutes 2) http://www.cbsnews.com/htdocs/feedback/fb_news_form.shtml I hope this works. Best regards and keep on fighting Robert
