Complaint Review: Prosper - Provo Utah

I went to a Robert Allen seminar based on a full page ad that read" we can make 158 people become millionaires using other people's money".

I did not sign up for their program at that time because they wanted a minimum of 2000.00 and claimed I had to take a risk in order to become a success in any business. Even if I did not have a job they could show me how to market anything on the internet and make excessive amounts of money in 12 weeks at the most.

I received a telephone call about one week after the seminar from someone at esioffers.com who asked me if I want to remain in the same position I am now, a year from now. Broke, mounting credit card debt and no understanding of how to improve my life.

They asked me to fill out a survey on line to see if I qualify for their program as "Robert Allen and his team are looking for a select group of people to work with on a one to one basis and would I like to be considered for this select group? They only accept certain committed and motivated individuals. I was told I would make back any investment within 4 weeks to 12 weeks depending on my level of commitment.

When I balked at their claims I was told that learning from Robert Allen would entitle me to lverage money and credit to use Other People's money (OPM) and other people's ideas (OPI)to jumpstart my journey to financial freedom.

Further he could show me how to use Other People's Experiences (OPE) to avoid the pitfalls of start ups and show me a true way to financial success

I signed up after much hard sell tactics on the part of the director who said I had nothing to lose since I have nothing because they guarantee my success!

I signed up and was so pumped up about their claims that i did not even have time to read through thoroughly their six page contract. However I was still being told that..." if you can't commit yourself to our phenominal business course, and you want to remain in the same place you are now, then don't sign...now's the time to back out and we'll part as friends...blah,blah,blah..."

Since joining I have access to their on-line library of downloadable teleconferences and or "classroom" tapes. I havce only talked with a so called coach three times since July 7, 2005. And for the last four weeks he has called at times which were not agreed upon or not at all.

There is so much more that I will have to e-mail you with the information and contract they roped me into along with my assignment sent to my so called instructor-coach who does not offer constructive feedback. Apparently I do not actually have to send detailed assignments to the "instructor" according to the director of this program.

Their contract is full of disclaimers and coticils which could not possibly be completely read through during their three day cancellation period. (I paid with a credit card) Their guarantee is: "If after one year (after all fees and finance charges are paid)from today you have not recouped your tuition of 3,925.00 and you can document that you have kept each of the key commitments, we will continue to educate you until you do."

The total I come up with is 4085.00.

You would have to see the contract and the letters I have sent these people.

The financial person, Tim Grubbs said there was no way they could end the program on 7/13/05 but they could extend my billing. So this will probably incur additional undisclosed fees.

They send carefully scripted responses to my queries in very cryptic and brief phrases that can not be connected with any prior discussion or mailing.

I am not well and told them so and have been waking up at night with anxiety because my intuition is screaming that I have been ripped off.
