I was personally ripped off by Global Success Academy or Wealth Solutions Group. They contacted me, in Oct. Of to pay them for a coaching class for investment trading. The fee for this class also included a round paid fare, for two, for a seminar in Peurto Rico. It was my understanding that the coaching would be for an indefinite period of time and this coaching was by means of webinars. They also told us that we would be receiving educational material to help us in our learning, which we never did get. The fee for this course was $12500.00 American. We agreed to pay the fee because the coach was a person who I was familiar with from a former finance course I had taken.
When I paid the fees we were about to leave on a 7 week vacation, but were assured that, that was no problem. When we got back certain things had changed in my life and due to unforeseen circumstances, I was able to attend only a few webinars, and the level of trading discussed in the webinars was way above my comfort zone for doing the trading.
I tried to discuss this with the company several times but they only insisted that I keep on trying.in April of I was no longer informed of the webinar links, and never did take the trip to Puerto Rico. I tried to contact the company numerous times, leaving messages, as they will rarely answer the phone directly. The one or two times that I did get through to them, they would say the coach would contact me, he did once or twice but could never work anything out with him either.
Finally I filed a report with the BBB in Utah and that got me a little action, as they agreed to refund the fee, which applied to my wife for also attending the webinars, that was $1500.00. They also promised that the coach would work with me personally until I had my money back.
The coach contacted me once when it was not convenient to talk and promised he would call back the next day, but never did. After a lot of trying I finally contacted him, he informed me he also had not been paid for his services.
At this time I have been trying to contact Global Success Academy, once, I did get through and talked to the person I had been in discussion with. He said he had to look up my file and would call me back in 10 minutes, That was a week and half ago. I have left message after message for them, but to no avail.
I only hope that this report will keep other people from getting Ripped Off by this company.
