I was recently scammed out of 3/4 of my savings by John Becks Fraudulent little enterprise.
To the tune of $15,000.00 USD, I live in Canada.
I have filed a complaint with the BBB, what little good that will do me. I have also filed a report with the State of Utah Department of Commerce, Division of Consumer Protection.
I have also contacted the "County" Attorney Mr. Trueblood in L.A. Here is his practice # (#150897) if anyone cares to look him up on the http://www.calbar.ca. Gov State bar website.
I recently did a conservative estimate of the damage these people are causing. Based on an average of $12,000.00 per victim and a total of 300 victims per year, which is not unreasonable to assume, their total take would be $3,600, 000.00!!
Yes, thats right folks, 3 Million 6 Hundred Thousand dollars in scam money!!! Extracted from innocent victims simply seeking a better life style.
Of course the numbers are probably much more significant than my estimate based on monthly billing cycles placed on credit cards etc...
I could almost estimate that this scam nets John Beck in the neighborhood of around 5 Million dollars a year!
With that kind of capital it's easy to see how easily this company can continue to operate and propogate it's scams.
I would say that everyones best bet would be to contact Mr. Trueblood and start making waves in L.A. For Mr. Beck & Co.
If Mr. Trueblood gets enough inquiries about this Beck
character then I'm sure it's only a matter of time before he sees that this issue is much bigger than it seems on it's face.
I have been pouring over reports about John Becks Fraudulent empire for hours now and the information from victims is pretty much the same.
Beck's scam methodology seems to have a very clear pattern from victim to victim! As Reid has also pointed out this company fishes for credit limits in order to "Tailor" their mentoring quote to your available credit or cash availability!
The fact that this is a scam is so obvious that it boggles the mind to think that Law enforcement authorities have not done anything about this guy and his company.
Of course, at first, it all seems legit based on some very slick talk and sales momentum that the guy on the other end of the line builds up in the victims mind about their "Team".
But things become VERY clear quite quickly that they have no knowledge or intentions of providing ANY kind of help or service as advertised.
Only after a victim begins to research the issue, such as myself, does it become abundantly clear that we have been had!
There is no shame in being a victim of this type of scam. It simply means that I, or someone else, is a trusting person. The trick is in knowing WHO to trust. And WHY I should trust them.
I'm far from stupid, but I am not perfect either. I really should have done the research BUT I didn't. This does not put me, or anyone else, at fault. I am a victim, plain and simple.
I am suceptible to lapses in judgement and this lapse in judgement does NOT make me responsible for this company's fraudulent conduct in any way. Nor does it make anyone else responsible.
This issue must be pursued to the fullest extent of the law and every possible remedy available to me.
I strongly encourage you to do the same if you have been victimized by this organized crime syndicate!
