2/23/2007 - John writes: After seeing the infomercial (direct buy), My wife called the 800 number requesting more information. We soon started receiving phone calls asking if we've received our invitation to attend the open house at Direct Buy in Chantilly, Virginia.  They insisted both husband and wife come together which made me a bit sceptical but the promise of huge savings as we get set to build a new house peaked our interest and we decided to check it out. After the 45 minute sales pitch and disclosure of the $4,000 membership cost offered tonight only or lose our opportunity to join for 10 years, we attemted to get actual costs for the cabinets,  flooring, windows and appliances. While waiting for the person who specialized in these  products, I googled "direct buy complaints" on my phone and found this site!  Hours after leaving the showroom I am still reading through the postings and am thankful we did not fall victim to this scam.  Thank you all so much for saving us!

2/17/2007 - Anonymous writes: I am so thankful that I looked up this person before ordering and saw this complaint site.  I called their order line thinking maybe this might be good after seeing the program for the 2rd time. R E is not a unfamilar area for me so I thought lets see if anything new has changed in the years. I wanted to get back into doing flips, buy some properties, and stop working for others in the building field.  When calling immediately they want your inform.  But I stopped them with questions, like what if I do not return it in 30 days and keep it what is the cost. $50.00 for 4 payments. Where does the $9.95 get credited and so forth.. I asked others questions, they did not seem to care much for that or know the answers. I prayed and asked God prior to the call it is your will.  What do you think?  Guess what I sat at the computer looked up Carleton Sheets name. Numberous sites to go on, but the complaint site was there in clear view.  I read all your complaints and I am glad I did not do this.  They were not given my full or correct name, or my personal inform.  E-mail yes, but hey I can block them, PO Box I can throw away or sent as no such person.  Not even sure I gave them correct number, just in case.  But no phone, or acct. info.  You have to protect yourself until you are sure of something.  I thank each of you for your stories, I hope others will read and research before going ahead with his so called product.  I am thankful I did not fall for it.  I pray and hope that you all succeed in getting your money or whatever rewards you want in return.  But know one thing you are helping others by posting your complaints to make sure others like myself do not fall into this.  Thank you, Good luck, and God Bless.

I advise anyone thinking about buying off tv 2 check out any complaints. This is a great site! I know u all saved me a lot of time & money!

2/10/2007 - Karen writes: Sorry for every one who spent so much money.  I bought The Red earlier this week for $89.99 at a local sports store.  This is definately a scam.  I am glad I got busy and was not able to open box.  After reading the reviews I will be making a return later this afternoon!

2/9/2007 - Anonymous writes: Thanks to all of you for sharing your stories- I was very tempted to purchase this item (core rhythms), but after reading through all of your experiences here, I decided against it. Good luck to all of you- I hope you can get everything straightened out.

2/7/2007 - Christie writes: I just saw the infomercial (john beck free and clear) and have seen the tax sales in the paper...maybe once or twice a year and wondered if it were possible to put a family out of their home simply by paying their taxes off. When I saw them in the paper years ago, I drove by some and the people were still living in them. This happened to my sister where her house was being auctioned off and she didnt even know...her auction (and many others I heard)was cancelled the same day it was to occure-she just paid her tax bill..but not after dozens of people drove by her home checking it out for a couple weeks.Now, I was about to order this to learn how to get in on this because I know the auctions happen..just didnt know if they meant you owned the home or not. I saw someone say the johnbeckcancel website doesnt exist, so I went there..it does exist and first tries to talk you out of it, then it lets you submit your info to cancel and ends with saying you acct will now be cancelled and money refunded. SO, the site exists, but they didnt ask for my acct number or member number or anything..how will they know who to give the refund to?I have never had such an easy time cancelling something...not even coffee club memberships! Which tells me, beware. I havent even gotten to the end of the infomercial..its late so I thought I would see if the bottom line price is on a website, like many infomercials are, and I came across these complaints. Thank you for saving me. I would say, watch your local paper, be smart..call  your county property clerk and ask about this..you dont need a system by someone else to do somehting that is open to the public.Its a public sale and posted in your local papers...you just have to find out when, drive by them first and show up on the date indicated in the newspaper. You can access most newspaper around the country online...and all of these records are public information. You dont need to pay him...its not a secret. Good luck to all of you- remember, if it sounds too good to be true, it most likely is.You may not get rich on this, but you might get a decent home to live in or rent for less than its worth...but not $200. I have read the tax sales fine print in the newspsper..theres more to it snd contact numbers listed before the sales. Good luck retrieving your lost money; Im sorry this happened to all of you. Christie

2/7/2007 - Daniel writes: I was about to order this product (dual action cleanse). However, when I noticed the s/h fees I became suspicious. I decided to do a search "dual action cleanse warning" and found this site. I thank whoever began this site. It has kept me from being duped. After finding this site I began a search for colonic cleanse. Most cities have clinics that offer a colonic cleanse for about $80.00USD. The benefits of a colonic cleanse is correct and I strongely recommend everyone going to a clinic for the cleanse. It is simple and easy...they use warm water. Thanks again for the warning.

2/4/2007 - Lisa writes: I too was tempted and excited to buy this product.  I have decided to wait.  I think the best thing to do for all of us who would still like this product (leg magic), would be to wait until it is in stores.  This way if you have a problem, take your reciept w/ it back to the store.  Thank you to all those who opened my eyes. I KNEW IT WAS TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE!!!!

2/4/2007 - Robert writes: Wow!! I can't believe what I am reading. I was on my laptop this morning getting ready to order the Red Exerciser. I really am glad I stopped by this web site first. Thank you everyone for saving my the headache!! Best of luck to all of you in getting your money back. I will bookmark this site and chack back before I ever order anything on the internet. I can't belive there aren't a few "shills" saying how wonderful this thing is. AMAZING INFO!!!

2/1/2007 - Jean writes: I was going to order the leg magic but noticed the sight was not secure. Upgrades...I thought this was a rather new product.  With further readings about the difficulty on ordering, I will pass.

1/29/2007 - Angie writes: I just wanted to thank everyone for writing about their experiences here.  I was just about to order the core rhythms videos and decided to see if there had been any reviews posted about the company as well as any of their practices.  I found this site and decided that I would not doing business with that company.

1/24/2007 - Kevin writes: I saw the infomercial a few nights back. It sounded like a good product that would do as claimed. I don't like talking to faceless voices on the phone so I decided to visit the website. This evening I tried to go to the website but I had trouble getting to it. I went back to my search page and wound up visiting a "complaint" website. I read a page that outlined the claims and how scientifically false the claims are. Then I got here. I thank each of you for bringing your experiences to us. You've all saved me a great deal of time, aggrevation and, of course, money. I thought that Klee Irwin kinda had the Snidely Whiplash look going in the infomercial. Now I know he's just as sleazy. I think I'm done searching for his products... Again, thanks to all of you for saving me from this headache. Best of luck to each of you in your resolutions with these scammers.

1/9/2007 - Loreta writes: I'm just SO glad that I researched this product (core rhythms) first and found this site before ordering it on the phone. I've trie every website and noone offered for less than $14.95. That made me suspicious... Now I know why...

1/3/2007 - Trish writes: I am ever so grateful for this site.  I was just about to go to Core Rhythms site and purchase the product for the advertised $14.95 + S & H, but decided to read some opinions first.  Definitely am not going to waste my time or money on some misleading membership nonsense.  Thanks.

1/2/2007 - Michael writes: Well I must say that I am fortunate to have read these testimonies, but it's sad to see so many unhappy customers for much the same reason. Why I say this is that I am a poor person, and have been seeing these informercials of Klee's & Co (dual action cleanse)., and I feel really quite angry with the business practices of this man and his faulty product and croony hangers-on. This product has just been released in New Zealand (where I live) and to say they have the cheek to try globalising this crap was kinda easy to see.... Dupe one lot, move on.... except we DO have laws in New Zealand that prosecutes dodgy companies, and I'm sure that it would take one man on a mission with a lawsuit that could wind up taking this SOB down. I feel relieved that I didn't buy the product, but not for all those that just have very little hope because of not having enough money or the law on their side. I realise this is harder to prosecute in the United States, but he may indeed (or his company) be prosecuted here...

12/31/2006 - Col writes: Thanks for eveyone's input. I am going to make fittness my goal this year but I will not be making this mistake (core rhythms) this time around.

12/27/2006 - Bethany writes: Hey Everyone!  First off, I'm so sorry that you all went through this!! This is all so outrageous!  I haven't ordered it yet - I was looking for more information online before I did - and then found this website.  I wanted to thank you for stopping me from making a big mistake.  What sucks is - I really wanted this DVD (core rhythms)!!

12/18/2006 - Dorothy writes: I want to thank you all for informing me of this product (True Ceramic Pro).  I ordered the first one 11-2006, was charged in full a few days later.  To this day I still don't have the product.  I had just called to see where it was, was assured that it would ship tomorrow.  I went back on line, found this site, immediately called back to cancel my order before I was stuck with a defective product.  Hopefully they will issue the credit.  I thought it was strange that they have no way to track their shipments.  I personally don't think they are shipping anything.  When I questioned the CSR she said "that is the way the company chooses to do it".  I guess it really is true...if it sounds to good to be true, it probably is.

12/9/2006 - Henry writes: Hello everyone!  I was almost scammed by Mr. John Beck & his so called "Free & clear Real Estate System".  Thank God that I did some reasearch before buying it.  I truly feel sorry for all the good people that have been scammed.  I read through several pages of complaints from people all over the U.S.A.  One person's complaint to me seemed like it might be most helpfull to all who have lost their money to this jerk & everyone else who works for Mr. John Beck.  I have coppied & pasted it below.  Please read it & maybe it'll help everyone to get their money back & maybe get this guy thrown in jail where he belongs!  GOOD LUCK EVERYONE!

12/7/2006 - Kelly writes: Thank you all!  I was going to buy this product (dual action cleanse) but not anymore! I even read the one response that supports this (Only one???).  I urge you all to contact the BBB- Better Business Bureau and report these people, then maybe seek legal advice?  Some attorneys don't charge for over the phone advice.  It pisses me off that these people can do this and get away with it.  Did you all notice the same guy that invented this is now pushing "A Super Vitamin"!  The very same kiniving guy who really does resemble a weasel!!!

12/3/2006 - Diane writes: Well after reading all of this, no way am I going to order (greatest treasury of health secrets book).  I saw the infomercial where Hugh Down was highly endorsing the book and wrote down the number figuring if he gave it the OK, it had to be worth buying.  I came across this website 2 days after seeing the infomercial and was shocked to see what I was reading.  I also went to another website at one of the writer's request and it showed how the author, Kevin Trudeau was in trouble left and right for his scamming on the internet.  See under google "Kevin Trudeau Felon", and it's quite an eye opener.  Thank you everyone for letting me save $39.95 of my hard earned money for a worthless book and poor customer service to followup at the end!

11/29/2006 - AJ writes: Thank you so much for your postings. I was drawn right to the edge and was about to buy the John Beck program.  After reading your experiences i am running as fast as i can away from him. Discouraging...it seems all these guys are the same.  The No Money Down program has a similar list of horror stories. Thanks again AJ

11/16/2006 - Carol writes: THANK YOU THANK YOU, for this site.We had an appointment last night (with Direct Buy) to meet with these people, while my husband was at a meeting on Tuesday I decided to check them out. Thank God I did. When my husband came home I took him to the computer and said read this. He said that's enough for me. We probably would have gone and been pressured into joining. I can't thank you enough for this site.  Carol

11/16/2006 - Jen writes: (re: john beck's free and clear) I'm sending this as a big Thank You!   Thank You to U and to everyone who shared their complaints and rotten encounters with this scam.   You All saved me thousands of dollars that I cannot afford to part with.   I would surely be on the street w/ nowhere to go.   NYC, or any other place, in late fall or winter is a terrible place to be homless w/o family.  So for Thanksgiving, I'm thankful to you all for pointing me in the right direction and that I shoud go with my gut instinct.   This ounce of prevention was more than a pound of cure.

11/12/2006 - Paula writes: Thank You for your wonderful website! I was in the process of ordering this product today and could never speak with a person. I was interested in knowing the additional shipping and        handling on the steamer and second vac (not really needed) and thought I should check this on the internet.  I too felt that I am a wise consumer and not gullible.  I would have been scammed except for your website.

11/8/2006 - Twin writes: I was ALMOST taken by this Dual Action Cleanse scam.  I called to inquire about the price and each time I called they had a different price. Even, the website says a different price than what is quoted over the phone.  Anyway, after I called my gut told me something is not right. So I told them I needed to ask my husband and would call back.  But, nope, these fools have caller ID. They have been calling me everyday 2 and 3 times trying to get me to order the product. So I again inquired about the price, it was yet a different price than those offered previously. But it was much cheaper, so I said started to consider buying it. This time I was in front of my laptop and thought let me Google them, I did and found a host of complaints - even this site - had been filed against DAC all over the US. I ended my phone call without saying goodbye and they called right back.  Of course I did not take the call. I am glad I found this site before I too ordered that mess. Twin

11/4/2006 - Wade writes: WOW!.....and I was just getting ready to buy into this (Russ Dalbey's Winning in the Cashflow Business).  I really hate that I'm acquiring all this information at the expense of other people, but man o man thanks for the warning and the "pitch" of this company.

10/29/2006 - Gail writes: I almost made the mistake that many before have. I try never to order anything by phone...not knowing the safety of that. I went to the computer to find their (Core Rhythms) website. Thankfully it brought me to the infocomercialscams.com first. After reading the complaints I will not be purchasing the DVD's. Thank you for your postings...I know that doesn't help those who have fell victim to the scam. I can only offer encouragement to take all action possible. Our voices can make a difference when it comes to info commercials...they can be stopped!!!

10/29/2006 - Olivia writes: I am so glad I happened upon this site.  I was just about to plunk down $130 for this product (True Ceramic Pro) b/c I thought it would help me fight against dry hair.  I have a 'hot tools professional ceramic' that I purchased at a salon years ago for $60.  It straightens fine and still works to this day, I was just hoping for something to help against dry hair.

10/25/2006 - Jennifer writes: well, thank you all for all of your experiences and input, just so you know someone does care. i was looking for it online to purchase (Core Rhythms) for my sister for christmas this year and now see that i will have to look for a used one instead of going through all of this. thanks so much for the advanced warning, it was not a waste of time.

10/24/2006 - Jeanne writes: I want to thank all of you from saving me from falling into this trap (Core Rhythms)! I was looking on the pc to order and this core rhythm, and this site popped up and I read about all the scamming they do, so THANK YOU ALL!

10/11/2006 - Jason writes: I am very grateful for this site. I actually emailed (Core Rhythms) and said that i am concerned about what has been said. the cust service rep said that it was that people dont read. well i think thats wrong, people do read. so i cut paste some of these neg reviews to her. what is odd there arent many good reiews to back them up

10/10/2006 - Kelley writes: I have all of you to thank, because I had the opportunity to cancel my card and get a new one before they (Core Rhythms) could keep charging me! Because of their own stupidity they could not process my card. I kept calling in to find out WHERE my product was. I was continually told it was on the way, etc. Well, today I call and they tell me my card is declined and that they have kept trying over two weeks and not been able to get it to go through. After berating them for not contacting me about this, I did some research and happened across this website, and thank heavens I did! I called my credit card company and they claim that the charges couldn't go through because the imbeciles were using an incorrect expiration date (I actually ordered online so I had numbers, etc in writing and this just means they can't read, obviously). I beat them to the punch by cancelling my card and getting a new one because I wouldn't put it past them to keep on trying (even though I told them to forget it, I don't even want the product now). So thank you everyone for sharing your horror stories and saving me the aggravation of what you poor people have gone (and are going) through. Would love to see them try to charge me again!

I am a procrastinator and have heard of the John Beck Free and Clear progarm and have seen his informercial for many years. I have always been intrigued.

8/20/2006 -  William writes: I lucked out.  I actually viewed the infomercial (John Beck Free & Clear) and did my search before buying.  Thanks to this site I will not be victim to their pray on my finances.  What really baffles me on this website is the fact that with everyones rightful displeasures of these scam artist that no one seems to make mention of the cable companies themselves.  If the cable stations were ethical and moral they would not allow such garbage to be aired on there stations.  Sure I understand for them it is a business but honestly do we as a capitalistic society always have to just look at the bottom line.  We have to believe that the cable execs are fully aware of the infomercials being aired are complete scams but yet we find them on several times a day every day of the week.  Just once I would like to see someone do the right thing as a genuine service the the public rather than just be concerned with the $$.  These so called gurus always state that they are so eager to help others be successful but at what cost are they truly inspired to want to help.  Just once I want to see one of these gurus to come clean and truly offer a service under a non-profit organization and truly deliver a genuine service to help out the public.  We get scammed out of our hard earned savings and are left with bigger headaches and anxiety's.  While these assholes live in their mansions, travel the word and walk FREELY as humans in our society.  Truly, where is Justice.  Next time you get someone asking you for your credit card info or bank info ask the person on the other line for their info.  Tell them you will share yours after they share theirs.  In the middle of their pitch tell them you need to run for an emergency and ask for a direct number you can call them back on.  Toy with them.....make them try really really hard to get you to buy only to say in the end "No Thanks".  I wish all who have been duped a very positive and happy resolve.

7/19/2006 - Dan writes: A couple nights ago I was sitting around with a cold, absolutely wasted on various mostly useless cold medicines.  That my excuse for ordeing John Becks Free & Clear.  After reading these and MANY other horror stories last night, I was very concerned about the whole possibility of overbilling, ETC. I'm glad to report that I'll be having the last laugh on these criminals.  I placed the order on July 18th, and now on the 20th, I checked with my bank to see if the charge has been submitted.  It hasn't.  I asked them to disable the checkcard number that I used, and to issue a new  number.  They gladly complied.  I was also assured that these crooks will have no recourse with the bank to get at my money.  If they want to get belligerant, they'll have to deal with me personally.  I'm practicing my best "Bzzzzzzzzzz!" sound to buzz then out and hang up if/when they call to harass me about giving them the shaft.  Thanks for the warnings and if anyone else finds themselves in my same boat, and the charge hasn't hit yet, by all means, close out the card number you used and get a new number!

You have saved me $ that can be put forth to something else. I am truely sorry for those that were scammed, but don't give up on pursuing a law suit.

6/4/2006 - Lynn writes: I am grateful for this site. I saw the infomercial Sunday afternoon and after seeing so many people telling how much money they made, I made the call. When the programmed responder (no live person) asked for my credit card number I realized I didn't know how much the postage and handling would be. I hung up and got on the Internet, thinking I would go to the site advertised on TV (www.JohnBeck.tv) to get more information. However, before doing that I went to Google and typed in: "John Beck" and complaint. WOW! after reading all the complaints here, I will not be making that call to earn thousands of dollars. I can't afford all that free money. Thanks so much to everyone for telling your stories. It has saved me in many, many ways.

5/25/2006 - Sandra writes: I just want to thank all of you for this website. My husband talked to me about this wonderful opportunity to make more money, having a family I was all for it. He ordered the John Beck program on 03/31/06 for 54.45 shipping included.He recieved it the next month. He then has a question about something and called the customer line for answers, they proceeded to tell him that for a low fee he could be a member and have all his questions answered. When he heard for a small monthly fee he refused and hung up never to call again. So while I was checking on my bank account I noticed another 39.95 mistery charge. Low and behold it was the monthly membership charge...I imediatley called the 818-464-1650 number given by my bank. Surpise they were closed but they gave me there web address. And thank god I went on wright away because I found your letters. Needless to say I called my bank and canceled there access and my bank is going to take action, even though I may not ever get my money back. Well again I am deeply sorry for all of you that have lost thousands of dollars to this scam. I just want to know who these people think they are taking money from people who work hard to survive and support a family. My moto is everyone gets theres in the end and even slugs have to survive even if it means stealing from others. I wonder if they would think it would be ok if there mother had this happen to them!!!

5/17/2006 - Ray writes: I fell for the JB infomercial and gave the automated machine my cc# etc.  I received the package and had cooled off and did not read it.  I was contacted be the Beck person and they assured me that it didn't matter that I had not read it. I talked to the manager but luckily told him it was too late in the day to speak further and I would talk to him the next day (which is tonight)  After dozing off I thought why not google John Beck Scam and see what comes up.  Thank God I did because the negative comments about people loosing huge amounts of money was/is bloodcurdling. This morning I called Mastercard and cancelled the card and a new one with new number is being fedexed to me and will arrive tomorrow.  The $46 charged to my account I accept for my stupidity and I look forward to the Beck salesperson calling me tonight. Beck did ask if I had any other credit cards several times and each time I answered that I did not even though I do.  Thanks for small favors!!!! Anything I can do to help those who have been screwed but whose advise saved me I will do!!!

(Note: I lower cased his name purposely because he surely is a "lowly person") The first warning for me was when I couldn't speak with a phone rep to purchase john becks Line Of BS. I've never seen that before, ever! I personally need that, "one on one" when buying something, hence why I don't purchase anything online. Now for the second warning, which for me the first was more then enough! After calling 1-800-314-1258 and saw myself being directed to purchase this BS completely through an automated phone service, I tried pressing zero to speak with a live person several times and finally I was directed to second number. ( 1-888-461-9029 was the second number ) After I called that number the recorded message said to call between 6 AM and 6 PM PST M-F. The problem was, I did call between that time and still couldn't reach a live phone rep! Right there for me it was set in stone that this is a huge line of CRAP! I'll be honest with everyone here. A few times I nearly purchased something similar to john becks BS! But up until now I never fell for it. I was tempted because I'm trying to get back to work now after being out on Workers Compensation for nearly two years. If anyone knows anything about NY Workers Compensation benefits that you make much more working then not! Again, I'd like to thank everyone for making a difference. Also, I'll be praying for everyone who lost out because of money hungry evil people such as john beck as well as all who may fall for his line a BS in the future. (Hopefully he as well as others like him will be stopped!) God Bless

I saw this site first and clicked on it and am very glad I did!!! I was seriously considering buying this product cuz I thought it would be a good way to burn fat around my tummy while I'd sleep all night. After reading many of the postings on here and everyone's bad experiences with it, it makes me glad that I never pulled out my creditcard to purchase this product. My thanks goes out to all the honest people that replied on this website! We all work hard for our money .. we shouldn't be scammed out of it by informercials that blatantly lie to us in the comfort and security of our own homes! Goes to show you that you can't believe everything you see or hear on tv! Fight the power! Down with false advertising! It pays to check out what real people  have to say about this product rather than hearing it from paid actors on an informercial! PS! You are better off going to the gym and lifting weights and doing cardio and eating right to get the body that you want! It's a lifestyle that you owe to yourself! And you will feel a lot better about it! All you need to do is commit an hour a day, 5 days a week to excercise and cardio. I usually do 30-45 minutes with weights and then an hour of cardio, 5 days a week. I use the eliptical trainer that  looks like a ski/cycle machine. I make it a goal to burn 1000 calories on it in 1 hour. I promise you will see a good difference if you commit to this for a month. Make sure you eat right too! It's a lifestyle and not a quick fix solution. Get with the program! Give yourself the body that you truly deserve! You can do it! You will feel good about it and you will be more fit and healthy too as a result of it!JUST DO IT!!!  Thank You!

I thought that this was something that I really wanted (turbo jam) but after listening to you all, I'm glad I didn't get it. I wish the best for all of you and I hope that you get your money back.

4/22/2006 - Lolita writes: It's me again with another update.  I posted on this website Jan. 3rd and Feb. 4th.  I suggest you all do what I did.  I disputed the charges with my bank, the one that had my charge card.  They backed out the charges, credited my account and I also cancelled my card and opened a new one.  This way Igia could not charge me again.  I ordered the 'Free' offer on Nov. 19th before the first rip-off posting was visible on this site (Nov. 28, 2005).  They charged my account over 214.00.  As stated before, if by chance I receive them, I will refuse them.  If UPS leaves them when I'm not home, I will not open them and take them to the nearest UPS store and return them, as refused. I sent my bank the link to this website, so they could see all the other victims of this company and as proof that it was a scam, this really helped my case.  Good luck to all of you in getting your money back.  I wanted to share my story so you could also try the same thing.  A BIG thank you to this site for allowing all these postings.  :)

3/13/2006 - Renee writes: Thanks to this site, I am NOT a victim of the JOHN BECK SCAM!!  I started to order the product for $39.95 but as I was going through the automatic ordering system, I changed my mind!!  I tried to terminate the process but I was unable to do so, as there was no confirmation or acknowledgement prompt as is the case with legitimate companies.  Prior to having my card charged erroneously, I called the bank and CANCELLED THE CARD WITH IMMEDIATE EFFECT.   While I do have to incur the hassle of reestablishing legitimate bank card debits with a new card, I'm thankful that I don't have to deal with trying to get my money back from this con artist.  Perhaps others, that are reading this board prior to incurring credit charges, can take the action that I did to TERMINATE THE CREDIT CARD BEFORE CHARGES HIT.  That way John Beck's crooks doesn't have access to a card that they can actually charge. Hope this info helps someone in the way that this board has helped me!!

2/11/2006 - Lisa writes: I want to thank you for having this site!  I was in the middle of being scammed with this Jeff Paul System.  I had even given my credit card number to go on to the "next level" and this company would have gotten thousands from me. I read about the scam on here and called my credit card company and they agreed to help me. We got on a three way call with a credit card representative and with the Jeff Paul people, and I told them that I was disputing the charge and wanted to cancel my purchase.  They agreed and I didn't lose the money - whew! (I think it was because the charge was still on a 72 hour hold - so they hadn't gotten the money in their greedy little hands yet.) Thanks for having a site with info to help those of us who are sometimes gullible out here. The system sounds like a great idea but I have a feeling that Jeff Paul's riches come from suckering a bunch of people, rather than having a great product.  Way too many sites have complaints on him.

2/3/2006 - Lisa writes: I am so thankful for this forum.   I puchased the initial startup kit (John Beck program) for around $50 bucks. Last night, Jeff, "the Director" phoned me without an appointment and kept me on the phone for nearly 90 minutes.  I had just come home from work, no dinner, and family waiting for me. The man spoke like a machine gun firing psychological tricks and convincing arguments as to why I shouldn't give him $4300 on the spot. I told him I'd consider investing half that much.  He did not sound happy. When I finally told him I needed to sleep on it, he instantly got rude and unprofessional and said "I personally don't care whether you buy the program or not!" His voice also dropped about 7 notches when I stated I needed to discuss it over with my husband before investing a dime. I asked him to call me back today, but will certainly not answer my phone now.   I already sent an email notice to my financial institution to NOT process any additional debits that may come in on my checking or Visa credit card accounts. THANK YOU ALL for taking your time to let us know what happened to you.  I feel really sorry for those of you who lost so much money and trust.  Live and learn!

1/30/2006 - Kristina writes: I just wanted to say thank you for the posts.  I considered purchasing the program (John Beck Free and Clear) while watching the infomercial on 1/30/2006. I called to get the details, they immediately began asking for my information, name address, etc. I declined and was told that the only charge for everything was the initial purchase price of $60.00, I was already skeptical and decided to look online for more insight.  Although there is nothing that I can do to help you get back your monies, perhaps you can take solace in the fact that you have helped to save at least one more person.

1/19/2006 - Mike writes: Thank you for this great forum.   After seeing the famous infomercial, I typed in John Beck Free and Clear and your forum came up.  Delighted as I read on about how this is a total scam.  This infomercial and claim products of wealth is costing innocent people thousands and thousands of dollars and they are not getting anything back.  I just hope others use the internet to research products and ideas before purchasing them. Words cant describe how glad I am I took the time to do some research. Thank you all.

1/16/2006 - Chris writes: thank god i found this site, i was almost considering ordering it (Carleton Sheets No Money Down), i figure almost all infomercials that sell "products" like that are scams and i guess my hunch was right on the money, but i do find it funny how they said "no check or money order" which means they have your credit card on file and will probley just keep billing it, seems like thats been the case with the majority of people on this board. best of luck in getting your hard earned money back chris

I sense a lot of very mad peaple out there at this john beck guy and it has been my expierience to hurt rip off artists where they will feel it.   1 someone with the program has to post it on the internet ( dont worry about being sued this guy runs scared and most of you are trying to find him anyway right????) He took your money and now it is your responsibility to look out for others by making his program unable to turn a profit by making whatever he is selling common knoledge.  this message board is a start but its not hurting him in the wallet enough for him to respond.. so pull out those scanners and put them to good use shut this guy down.

I saw the informercial this morning and decided to invest in the program, but I thought it would be wise to research for complaints. I'm so glad I did. Thanks to your website and individuals that shared their experience, I was saved. It's sad to say, but we must be cautious and skeptical about offers made on tv, radio, etc. The most important part of the experience is that we learn and not repeat the action. We should always remember buyer beware!!!!

Thank God I did. How enlightning your site is!! Carlton Sheets is obviously running a scam just as I feared he might be. Thank-you for publishing the letters from disatisfied customers. I have faith in the truth of so many letters telling such similar stories. There are many problems with the Internet (like unwanted porn), but your site shows the positive side of the Internet. A decade or two ago, it would have been impossible to find this much information on a scam with just the click of a mouse. Keep up the good work and Thank you again, Mary
