I completed a life coaching course with Results Coaching Systems and subsequently was entered onto a yahoo groups email list. A life coach from this company put out an e mail to the group as follows:
Dear Results Coach,
I acknowledge you for your brave decision to follow your bliss as a coach. However, as you know, whilst this may be an excellent decision in terms of personal growth and spiritual fulfilment, it is not always the most advantageous of choices from a financial point of view.
Having spent a great many months seeking a realistic solution to this problem for myself, I am pleased to say that I have hit upon a rather novel way of maintaining myself economically whilst continuing as a full time coach.
I wonder if you might be interested to hear about it?
If so, then please call me on 0208 983 3770. Leave a message on my ansaphone if I don't pick up.
I hope to hear from you soon.
Best wishes
From Sam Deane
Results Coach.
Knowing that the Results Coaching Systems was a respected one, I decided to follow up this e mail with a call to Sam Deane. He invited me to a business presentation but was highly secretive as to any details of the presentation. He exploited his position as a Results coach by stating 'trust me'.
Foolishly I did trust him and went along to a presentation by Omi Club (omiclub.com). To become a member of the club you were requested to hand over 1600 in cash. To make money in the 'club' you had to pursuade others to part with the same amount. After giving part of the subscription fee, 1200, to Sam Deane, I later found out that omiclub is an illegal pyramid scheme.
I feel angry that I was cheated by a so called professional life coach from a respected company. The whole experience has put me off the Results Coaching Systems that I trained with as they did not back up my request to take Sam Deane off their list of coaches for his unethical behaviour. I feel he lied to me and cheated me. I also witnessed him trying to encourage one of his coaching clients to part with the 1600 membership fee. He refuses my request to refund my money.
