i too bought the cds, was charged more then price givin to me. and i noticed the monthly charges for the last several months, which were not authorized either. had to cancell my card today as well. and i too have had a man call everyday for weeks, trying to get me to move forward with their program and tells me to quit making excuses, now that i know what a scam this is, i will tell the next caller to get lost and i'm reporting them to the law. and putting my complaint on line and with the FBI. but i guess i am one of the lucker ones. do you think we will ever get our money back? this man and his people need to be put in jail.... nice real estate there huh!!!!!

I have a very similar story as everyone else.. I ordered a few months ago, and they got me for three additional monthly charges before I noticed and just cancelled the card. These guys are running a major scam, and I will be posting all the cds (although, theres not much, just a few pdfs) on bit-torrents. It'll be a little bit of karma payback so that anyone can download his entire system for free . Hopefully it circulates enough on the net, that his days of screwing people over are... over.

Like everyone else on this list I order the course and I had no idea about the monthly fee of $39.95 and of course having a hard time reaching anyone to cancel this monthly fee. I already contact my CC company and they can only file a dispute and stop further withdraw From Alexander, I called all the numbers from the package and also email them requesting to cancel and so far no response.

Okay, I paid my 39.95 plus 14.50 shipping, and bought this product. The advice in the manuals sounds great.... but, in the State of Alabama, can get you thrown into court very easily. Some of the procedures in the books require one to have at minimum, a real estate agent license. Other steps, such as collecting earnest money, require having a broker license. The bottom line is that John Alexander is a con man. Don't buy this product if you want to run a legitimate business. I had two different attornies review this information. Both said that doing business in real estate this way was a fast ticket to the pokey. One attorney has been practicing real estate law for 35 years. The other just received his JD and State Bar in 2005. Two attornies, same answer. I plan on keeping my day job for the time being.

I ordered John's CD's for selling homes through subprime. I watched the first CD and then spoke with one of his devil's advacates Daniel, he must of called at least 40 times. I have a full time job and of course this souned good, to good to be true. As someone else stated, I didn't check my bank statement, when I did I found out that he had been withdrawing $39.95, for information I told them originaly I didn't want and don't even have access to. His e-mail that I have is wrong. Also, the disks I recieved dont't even play, blank they are,all but the first with his liar face. Now I have to close that account. Lesson learned I guess, a $400.00 HIT.

I feel very fortunate to have found out about this scam quickly. Sure, I lost $55 as soon as I ordered, and I sure didn't like seeing the $39.95 charge 5 minutes ago that I had no idea about... but I'll live. After reading all the complaints about this program, along with the John Beck program (they sound very similar) I think it's in my best interest to walk away with my sanity instead of my $85. I sure as hell don't want to waste hours on the phone trying to get a refund that's not going to happen anyway. I'm going to be bank tomorrow to let them know that the charge ($39.95) was unauthorized. If somehow I get it back, I get it back, otherwise it doesn't seem worth my time to pursue or chase down people that are going to be fielding thousands of calls from people just like me. Oh, and I'll also make sure to cancel my debit card and get another one... even though the damn thing is only 2 months old. I really don't know how programs like this end up lasting as long as they do before they are finally shutdown. I'd hate to work for these offices... imagine if people knew where to find these offices. Things could get really ugly. One thing worth noting... these people DO key on people with money. I had someone call me from "John's office" asking me what I thought about the program. Actually, I haven't even opened it up in the month I've had it. I was going to try and do this in about another month, when I get a month vacation. Well, I talked for about 5 minutes with this guy from the office and he tried to explain how the program works. He told me that I would end up signing to buy a property, and then look for people with fairly bad credit that really wanted it. Then, John's program would help them get approved when nobody else would be able to get them approved. Made a little sense. The guy was really interested in talking with me, but I told him I didn't have time right then and there. He told me he'd call the next day between 1 pm and 3 pm since those were the times I was available. I was like, "Ok, sounds good." Just as we were ending our conversation, I asked him if I'd have a problem buying a house because my credit isn't so good (625), and he said that credit has nothing to do with it. Well, mysteriously I never got that 2nd phone call. Scammers.

This guy is full of shit. They just chaged me 39.95 monthly with no authorization like everyone else on the list. They also have anouther scam that I don't think many people know about. They tried to convince me to take out a LOAN so that I could then give it to one of their "coaches" and this coach would then give me advise over the phone about real estate. The so-called coach was a 23year old alpha male sounding jock idiot trying to hustle my money out of me so that then he would make a percentage out of that money when he didn't know much more about real estate than was in the crappy products that they sold me. DO NOT give these guys money under any circumstance!! For anything! I want a full refund of everything and I want to report these people to the authorities.

Just like everyone else on this list, I have paid several months for an *unauthorized* amount of $39.95. I was out of the country and did not have a chance to review my statements, which were paid by a friend. The FTC should do something about this guy... better yet, get the Postal Inspectors on him... they have the highest conviction rate of any federal agency!<br />

I am an attorney who occasionally practices in the federal system. In August of 2006, I ordered this course to the tune of about $70. Several follow-up calls were made by J.A. reps (no doubt solicitors), but I told them eachtime I had yet to open the course. Today, March 30, 2007, discovered J. A. has been debiting my account (paid via debit card) for $39.95 since August 06. After two hours, I finally got through to a representative, who told me that, since I did not cancel my membership within thirty days of having joined (I thought I was buying a product, not joining a club), automatic monthly withdrawals would take place. I informed her that no law in the world foists an affirmative obligation on a mail recipient to cancel membership (absent verbal notification, and there was none extant here). She "cancelled my membership" and refunded me three months' worth of credit. I asked to speak to her supervisor and, surprise, was disconnected. I called back. Spoke with a young man who told me no supervisors were in the office. I informed him that every call was recorded in my office, and I would appreciate a call back befoer the end of the day. Surprisingly, a coreous man named Michaeel, who was aware we were beign recorded, called me back within five minutes, apologizing for the misunderstanding and saying he would reimbruse all withdrawals save the initial outlay. As basis, he said since I had never opened the product, they would refund us. The latter was disingenous, since ANYone can say they never opened the product. I myself suggested they keep the inital payment, since I was aware at the time of purchase I had 60 days to return the product for a full refund. This is quite an operation. Obviously, most people will not take the time I took to get their money back, and probably do not have experience negotiating. Had I not just happened to stumble across this particular withdrawal (thanks to, coincidentally enough, identity thef, causing me to shut down my account), they would have continued ad infinitum.

I paid 72.98 1 week after recieving the worthless cds, I tried to log onto the web site that was listed and wouldnt you know...website is down try again later. So I call the so called custumer service phone number. 600pm and they are closed. So back to the website humm.. still unable to log on . few days later I call and its a recording said if you I would like to cancel push a certin number so I did. Finally I thought what a releif that is taken care of. NOT!!!!

Finally had to hang up ! I have spent a total of 203 min of cell phone time which by the way my plan is only 500 so yes I go over my minutes and cost me even more money. John Alexander has scamming me out of 39.95 a month for 4 months. <br />

I got an email 3/9/07 about the course. Went to the website. $39.95 not much to try it out with a money back guarantee. Tried to submit order and came back with this error: "missing link id/you are not eligable for this promotion." I thought I might have done something wrong so stupidly I tried it again. Same thing. Started doing a little searching and came up with this site. I am on the phone now contacting my credit card company. I did find his main website which is paperbiz.com. He states on there that he is not responsible and does not support the product put out by the marketing company he contracted with for the course.

On Feb.24.07 Being interested In John Alexander's real estate techniques, I did the drill, filled out his application and credit card info forms. After hitting the "submit" button I was supposed to be enabled to download his various books. Guess what? - - Nothing happened! Nada. Thinking I may have filled the forms improperly. I rechecked. Found the possibility unlikely. Within 5 minutes I applied for "help" & his other links to unsubmit. Nothing worked. I tried to contact his publishing company in Studio, Ca.- - Not listed. I called another publisher in the same town - they never heard of the publisher, although the address given, places them about 4 blocks apart. I then wrote John Alexander a letter & sent it to the address given in Austin, Tx. This should stop any future emails from him. The letter was "returned to sender - No fowarding address." I called the credit card company & had new cards ordered for my wife & I. Today I received an email from "QuickBooks Business Kit" []. Although John Alexander's name does not appear in this infommercial, you can contact them by mailing a letter to the same mailing address as John's in Austin, Tx. As a user of "QuickBooks" bookeeping system in my own business, I wonder if they are aware of John Alexander's probable connection? If people like this cannot be stopped legally, there must be a way to at least crimp his style & keep others honest. Bob

I bought the information, willing to pay (one time) $39.95 to find out if it was valid or useful or even interesting at all. I admit I found it to be a novel approach, but not sure if it's really legal or not. Nonetheless, I had decided to pay the almost forty bucks to see. Fine. What's not fine is their continual monthly whacking of my card over and over and over for $39.95. They ignore repeated requests to stop charging. I finally had to cancel my card and get a new card. Then they had the gall to send me an email saying my card was declined (no kidding!) and to give them a new number. I sent them a colorful message in reply. I only wish I had found this site before buying. I never would have done it. Or perhaps I might have satisfied my curiosity by using a gift visa or something they could never charge again. Live and learn. This guy should do time.

I called to see what this program could do for me and my family. As i was on the phone the guy started to tell me about the other packages that you could upgrade to and the difference in price. I explained that if your system really works than when i start making money in 14 days then i will see about spending more money. After he continued decide that i was no longer interested in there system and told him that i didn't want it i hung up. the next day i found out that they ran my card for 163.90.. I truely believe the guys are getting rich in 14 days by having us who are looking to do better scamed out of uor money. i hope it makes major head lines and there ripped from tv.
