Complaint Review: Robert T. Kiyosaki - RICH ROBERT - Portland Oregon

First off, I want to say that I am simply writing to let the buyer beware of the sharks and lies out there. Do I have a dog in the fight, hell yes! I spent hard earned money which could have gone to better things but instead put into the pockets and faith of someone who promises a better way of life.

I came to the United States at an early age so my kids will be first generation kids. We grew up poor, then again who didn't.

I bought into a 1 day seminar of Robert's. Then bought into the 3 day. When I went to the 3 day, I realized within the first hour it was a big scam. I wrote down all the things I knew the speaker would say and gave it to the people at my table. I told them that it would go like this...first work the heart strings, tell about your poor childhood, or someone dying and you were down on your luck, then you find a magic system. What do ya know, it's the system here today!

Then the speaker told us about ALL the real estate and investments she and her husband did and owned. Dena from Florida looked like a house wife who decided to suddenly jump into the flip and rip business of real estate. She started like us (what do ya know, in the same seats we were sitting in) a line every speaker says, it's standard.

Well, by lunch we were told to call every credit card we had to either one, up the line of credit, or two, open new lines of credit, the more the better. We were told to raise $50,000 by the return of lunch! If, I could do that, I would go into Venture capital. Starnge because in Robert's books he wants you to lose the credit cards.

Upon returning to lunch, I soon realized that I was tipped off to the "staff" and they approached me and stated that I will not and should not upset the table with my "opinions" and if I would continue, I would be asked to leave.

Several of the people who were at my table felt the same way I did already, they too, felt ripped off.

After the second day, she got into some basic stuff. Stuff anyone could get off any late night infomerical. Then we finished by playing a board game. That's right, a board game. I paid 500 dollars to play a board game.

Thrid day, we continue the game. Then here's where things got interesting. Dena, devoted the entire third day on selling the coaching program, which was only $12,000. And get this, if we wanted to meet with the GOD of WEALTH himself, Robert and his wife, we could for only...wait for it! $50,000. remember the money we were to raise the first day? Here ya go.

The entire "if you really want this or you're a loser" package was only going to cost you $50,000! That's a small price to pay if you were going to be a millionaire in 24 months or less right? Wrong.

The moment the thing was over, Dena's exact words were and I quote,

"Those of you who are not going to purchase the program, please leave and network outside. Those of you who are buying, remain here and we will go over the program. Please leave now."

Wow, great attitude. A+ for attitude and compassion. Outside, the poor souls that could not afford to dish out $50,000 discussed about the whole thing.

I went home and laugh about how I was suckered into a three day waste of time seminar from a man who based his books on a fictional character (that's right folks, there is a POOR DAD who isn't so poor and NOT A REAL RICH DAD). Sorry to tell you this but research the facts. Even his writer who wrote the Rich Dad Poor Dad book is suing him in Arizona, Sharon. Do the research!

So, if you want to read a good FICTIONAL self help pump yourself up book, raed Rich Dad Poor Dad. Do the research!
