My husband and I have recently found out we've been ripped off by John Beck's mentoring of America. We have read other testimonies that could pretty much be us.
We "invested" our "tuition money" to go through the mentoring program. Filled out all the paperwork, sent out the weekly letters, etc. Our coach seemed to mentally check out after the 3rd or 4th session. He missed our last session all together, and we were not able to get any answers for that. We even purchased a piece of property from John Beck's land bank, and were lied to about how much it would sell for.
We were told it would sell for no less than 150% of what we paid for it, and that all we had to do was pay the property taxes until we sold it. We watched some similar parcels on ebay and bidforassets.com, and they were selling for about 60% of what we paid for ours.
I have also recieved a bill in the mail for a Civic association, tied to the gated community that the property is in, for $722! I was never told of all these fees, only the property taxes.
We can't get anyone to speak to us about our complaints. They give us the same sales pitch that they gave when we invested, about turning over properties to get our money back.
I have filed complaints with the FTC, the SEC and with the state of Utah. I live in Oregon, so I'm about to file with our state attorney. I need help though! I don't know what else to do, what other action to take! I can't afford the credit card bills and all these fees for this piece of property! I need my money back, now! Please help, if anyone has more info. For me! I need to know what else to do!
