Success!
I was ripped off for $7,200 by Robele. My story is the same as everyone else's: did all the work myself, was given useless recruiter contacts, useless and out of date target company lists, (one company they said I should apply to I had worked there already and knew they went out of business 7 years ago!), and a "lifetime agreement" that instantly became worthless the day they closed their doors.
I used my Discover card to pay in full up front. Once I found out they closed their doors, (I had to find out on my own; they never told me), I disputed the credit card charge for the full amount. I received a temporary credit because Discover's statute of limitations for a dispute is 6 months and since I was disputing 6 1/2 months after the sale Discover needed to attempt to contact Robele and clear it up with them.
I just found out today that the dispute is final and the $7,200 credit is mine to keep.
I still wasted months of valuable job hunting time going through the "Robele program", but having the money back helps a great deal. I urge everyone that paid using a credit card to dispute the Robele charge if they were defrauded as I was. I wish everyone involved luck. It's criminal what Robele did to people who needed help the most - many of them being unemployed.
