I attended the one night seminar in St Cloud MN on May 27th and I was convinced Dean (who was never present) and his crew were legit and they were going to teach me basics of real estate investment. They promised me I was going to get financial assistance and training and a mentor for a full year or so I was told. I thought great this is exactly what I need to start my real estate investment business. After all I am a home inspector and have been for over 8 years so this should be pretty easy for me to grasp. I attended the seminar in Minneapolis June 3,4, and 5th 2011 On June 3rd after the first day I thought OK seems pretty legit. On the second day things started to change the Instructor Stephen Edwards tells you how to invest with no money down? They are telling you to do this without question and I am not sure about in your area or in the state or in Minn but in other states what they want you to do is illegal. Example take money ($25,000 can be less or more) from one credit card put into your community bank and use to invest than ten days before the credit card payment is due take another $25,00 (or less) from another credit card and put in your community bank and write a check to pay the first credit card (you don't have to pay it off but will help your credit score if you do). You have to do this without question. Its like taking from Peter to pay Paul eventually its going to catch up with you or the bank is going to question you one would think. You keep doing this tactic. As the last couple hours of the second day neared you were hit with a bomb shell the speaker Stephan Edwards on behalf of Dean Graziosi started in on investing more money to get further training (what you really came for) with a large bill attached. This investment consumed our last precious hours of class time with them wanting us to invest another twenty-four thousand dollars into the program otherwise we don't want it bad enough and no amount of training will ever be enough. Twenty minutes of the second day was looking at pictures of Stephen Edwards (our speaker) and his wife on all these vacations. You figure if they got twenty five people to pay two thousand dollars and than got the same twenty five people to pay twenty four thousand more no wonder they are rich. They had fifty people at the event but only twenty five paid the $1997 fee but some did not have a partner like I did. We weren't allowed to speak or ask questions and when someone raised their hand to ask a question or wanted him to slow down they were told to put there hand down. I felt like I was not getting what I paid for which was $1,997. He twenty four thousand is a deal so they say, because you attended the free seminar in St Cloud. What I did get was a lot of ripped off and a whole lot of mumble jumble and no real help. You were never encouraged to ask questions and not one night did the speaker Stephen Edwards ask if there were any questions. I was led on a bait and switch scam. They bait you with promises of mentors and purchasing assistance and help with buying and selling your first home. Hello we already paid two thousand and didn't get what we were promised why the heck would I invest more money. So on the third morning things got a little heated because some people were starting to figuring out what was going on and some were still in the trance as I call it. They actually kicked an older woman out for saying what she felt (nice people huh) I was asked to leave along with another couple and the older woman, because they say we were causing people to think negatively well yeah I was using my brain which they don't encourage. I did get a lot of names and numbers from other people who attended the seminar and want to get my money back.in my opinion Dean Graziosi and his whole crew and his main speaker Stephen Edwards are a bunch of thieves and should not be able to keep doing this. I just want to warn people that this is not just one day its seems hes been getting away with this for many years and its time he is stopped. All I wanted was my money back and was even told by employees "BEN" and "Stephen Edwards" that I would get my money back if I left quietly. I have it on my documents that I can obtain my refund but the guy in quality assurance Jason C. Whom I called on Monday because the office was not open on Sunday. I think they do it that way on purpose. Anyways Jason said he was instructed not to give a refund only to give a CD of the training seminar now why would I want more of your scams stuff in my house. I just want what is due to me which is my $1997. My initial investment money. I figured it out and they didn't want me to make any negative remarks or get everyone rilled up. Because than people might start to think. The whole telling me I was going to get my money back was just to shut me up and get me out of there. On Wednesday June 8th I got another call from the quality control guys as they call them selves basically telling me to not find a lawyer and just be quiet and take the loss because any good lawyer will laugh me right in the face and he than called me an idiot. I hung up on him after that and want nothing more to do with this so called quality assurance man. What I am doing now is looking for people who have or feel they have been ripped off of their dreams by this man and his company of thieves. I want to start a class action lawsuit from all over the world and let Dean Graziosi and Stephen Edwards know we the people are not going to sit around and get ripped off any more. I have a bunch of people already on board and I'm going ahead on this matter so if you want to stop this guy and his scamming bunch of thieves and were effected by his scam let me know (Personal Information Removed). Dean's so called team DID NOT FULFILL THEIR END OF THE AGREEMENT. I do know what they say and what they promise are totally different than what they put on the contract. Gotta watch their wording on the contracts folks because what they say and what they actually do are two very different things. Buyer beware for real. These are fast talkers and smooth operators. I am an intelligent business owner and got taken and want to get my money back.
