John Beck's Coaching Seminar Scam
Ripoff-$12,500 for Seminar and worthless mentoring

I bought the "free and easy" tapes to learn how to buy tax-lien certificates. One month later, Dean Walker, from John Becks office (really a boiler room scam artist) called and interviewed me over the phone for over 1 hour to see if I had what it takes to receive special coaching. He said that John Beck only wanted to work with a few highly intelligent guru's who were coachable in his field and I would receive "hands on" training from the guru himself. I answered all his questions (he made it seem so legitimate) and he guaranteed that I would make back my investment in 90 days with their help.

I signed up for the deluxe package -over $12,500 which includes a 2 day seminar in Las Vegas. The coaching has been a joke and haven't earned a penny nor have I learned enough to try out their methods (blindly buying properties on the public "Bid for Assets" web-site. I was told all I have to do is work with a real estate agent in California (never gave me the name of who this ghost-agent is) and bid on these properties on line (I live thousands of miles away in Illinois). When I asked how to dispose of these properties I was told I could also sell them on-line (without seeing them —as long as the trusted "agent" could confirm that the property was in good shape. I stopped after 5 useless sessions and am not interested in the Vegas conference (I'm afraid of what I would say to "Guru" Beck if he showed up at this conference—of course I would have to pay for the trip out there as well as the hotel and I have no interest in going or wasting more money.

I wish there was some way of getting some of my investment back but was told "all sales are final—including this conference" which I have no interest in attending. I spent 30 minutes arguing with their customer service dept. Without any luck—wish someone out there could give me some advise. I have learned a valuable lesson and am still involved with real-estate on my own. Bought a foreclosure home that my group (sister, brother-in-law and wife are working on to recoup some of my losses—this was bought on my own with no help from the John Beck mentoring "fiasco"&Any suggestions would be appreciated.
