      I was a victim of a scam. I was invited to attend a seminar that I took part in from one of ***** team members. These people preyed on the weak and the ignorant. It was 3 days of brainwashing you into paying into their program. They fed you breakfast and lunch. The mentor would continue to check on me, show he cared about my financial status at the time, telling me if I joined, he would lower the monthly costs so that I can make the payments, also, he told me that he would be there every step of the way. **** would have one on one's with me during break time of the seminars to pretty much brainwash me into agreeing to take these classes. He would go on about how easy it would be to make money trading, that on his plane ride into *** he put in a trade before his flight and when he landed, he looked and saw he made 3000 dollars. He told me I could be making money in 3 to 6 months. He also put in my face other participants in the seminar, how they put up money to join. He asked me how much I had to start, I told him I had *** to join but I don't know if I can keep up with the payments as I am a single mother with 2 kids and I'm struggling. He informed me that he would be there every step of the way. That was a lie, once I joined, I never heard from him again. I had to contact my bank and have them change my banking information to stop the automated payments. The corporate number, you leave messages, and no one gets back to you. I feel this company is a scam. They get people to sign into contracts having them believe they can make money effortlessly. They act as if they care about your financial status. If we tell them we cannot afford to pay for this, why continue to coerce people into it. Just let them go and leave them alone.
