After numerous phone calls, extreme pressure guaranteeing an income from home of £2, 000 per month and also being asked about my credit card limits etc I agreed to pay a deposit of £497 from my credit card and agreed to monthly payments of £109 per month which if I was earning £2, 000 seemed affordable.

PMI Education Scam!!!

I was drilled for an hour and half to join their success team over the phone. They asked me for my credit cards and their limit and how much I have in my bank account. Two interviewers drilled me that PMI promises to make my dream come true by helping me pay off my credit card debt and student loan debt. After a few days, I found out it's a program that helps you set up your own online business website. I complained to the guy that works in the Quality Assurance that I wanted to quit and want my refund back. He said that 3 day opt out is expired and he then manipulated me that I needed an income and PMI can do just that in 60 days. I reluctantly continued because I wanted to recoup my initial investment of $5, 770.oo. I recently told my dad about the investment on his credit card and he freaked out. He told to call them and quit and ask for a refund. I called the Quality Assurance guy again thinking he would be sympathetic to my story but he told me he didn't gave a crap and I shouldn't always listen to my dad says. He then called me the next day to complain how my uncle called the program to speak on my behalf. He said no one should speak on my behalf because I"m an adult and I should have kept all this a secret from my close knit family. He won't gave me a refund unless the finished the program in 6 months. The whole time I've been with PMI I loss sleep and woke up with panic attacks or cold sweat. Please don't be guillble that this company will make you an instant millionaire. This is a scam! I'm going to file another compaint and a lawsuit.

PMI Education Another person scammed by PMI!

Dave Hodgkinson, a sales manager for Professional Marketing International (PMI) Education contacted me at the end of October and spent about an hour and a half convincing and pushing me to sign up for their success team program so I can make great money. Based on the credit limit and the balance on all of my credit cards, he told me it would cost $9, 540.00 to start up. Interestingly enough, they are selling the same services for half or even a quarter of the price they charged me, see this post: http://www.complaintsboard.com/complaints/pmi-education-c271177.html.
I asked to see the contract first before charging my card, but Dave said he needed to charge the card first. Many times Dave stated to that only smart and intelligent people qualify for this service, and if I did not sign up he insinuated that I was a fool and of low intelligence. Dave did not let it go, and several times when I hang up stating that I don’t think this is for me, he called me back over and over. He did not give up until I finally said yes after 1.5 hours – he practically manipulated me into signing. I gave in only after he promised me that they will help me 100% with everything there is to do to get a real estate deal. He said that a coach will call me to start letting me know about the program, and that I will have 3 days after an extensive interview with another representative from PMI to cancel the program. The interview was supposed to be within 1-2 weeks from the day of signing. He also promised me that if I decide that the program is not for me and I’m not making money, I can get a refund even after the end of the refund policy. Only with this assurance and after being manipulated for 1.5 hours I finally gave up.
A couple days later I got a call from my coach Eric who told me about the educational website where I should complete real estate lessons. During second call the week after that, he told me that I need to compile the buyer/seller lists myself, even though Dave told me that PMI have the buyer lists available which I could use for selling real estate I find. Eric said that I needed to compile the lists myself. Dave told me otherwise and this was one of the lies he told me. When Eric, my coach called me the third time I told him that I did not have time to allocate for this to do all the work myself and I wanted to cancel the service. I called up the customer service to cancel it, and the lady told me there is not much she can do, that quality assurance department would give me a call. I asked her when they will give me a call she mentioned that the call will be in 2 days. 2 days went on and past and I still did not get a call. Third day Jason called and he told me that I cannot get my refund because I past 3 days. I expressed how unhappy I was with the service because I only got a total of 3 calls for my coach and that I never received a call from another person who was suppose to interview me (which would trigger the start of the 3 days to cancel). I did all the leg work with no follow up and asked him that I want my refund because I did not appreciate how I was scammed and lied to by Dave. Jason told me that the conversation with the coach Eric WAS that interview, however Dave said that the interviewer will be somebody different than my coach and that the conversation would be extensive. He went on arguing that there will be no refund. I am very upset with PMI education, the whole experience is a nerve wreck, and I’m left with almost $10, 000 in debt for something that is completely useless. The service was supposed to be for a year with possible extension of the term. And I only received 2 training sessions with the coach for $10K.
Beware and please post on all websites about their scamming policies. I'm filing a BBB complaint and if that will not produce any results, I am filing a lawsuit and posting about them all over internet. I even created a blog to stop people from signing up with them.

PMI Education Commercial Real Estate

Hi guys just wanted to submit my opinion of this group PMI Education. It's not a complaint I just want to clarify on what you guys get into when you sign up for the Commercial Real Estate Mentor Program.

First off I signed up paying $6805 for 20 sessions and from my perspective right now that is EXACTLY what you get. Overall the coaches seem to be helpful so far but DON'T expect to be able to contact your coach with 1-on1 sessions whenever you like as they will not return calls or email you back questions you may have. Unless you reschedule your lessons and charge another session they will not help you. BUT, I have called the advisory line a few times for questions and they have been responsive and helpful but I would rather speak to my real coach who has had more experience.

For the Commercial Mentor program there is no syllabus or workbooks or study guides whatsoever so if your just starting out with no knowledge of commercial real estate, your money would be better spent elsewhere like I did learning the basics.

Anyway I'm about 3 months into the program with no solid deals to work off so far so I'm postponing my sessions in order to preserve them for when I do have a solid deal.

So far I believe that this has NOT been a good investment and if you are considering signing up I would look how much your willing to pay for 20 sessions as this is NOT a mentor coaching, it is just advice over 20 sessions.

This is the worst investment I've ever made, and glad you think the same. I did request a refund in November and still no answer from them. They told me that they will provide me with lists of investors, but that was a misrepresentation.
Please read my story on my blog: http://scammedbypmi.blogspot.com/
Also, be sure to comment and write your own story on the site, so if more people complain and talk about PMI Education scam, maybe less people will be signing up for their services.

PMI Education Did not honor refund

I was told that PMI would send me a contract that would list the services they would provide and that I would 3 days to opt out. They wouldn't send the contract until I gave them my credit card number. Then, they didn't send me the contract but charged the card. The bank told me that I should not have given them the credit card number until AFTER they sent me the contract. The only thing professional about Professional Marketing International is that they are professional scam artists. For the full story, see my blog at http://scambuster108.blogspot.com/2010/08/pmi-education-scam.html .

I sincerely hope that my stupidity will at least help other people see that this company is not to be trusted and to NEVER give your credit card to anyone without first receiving a signed statement with their refund policy in plain English.

BTW, in my complaint to Utah BBB, I also used the basis that they promised to mail a contract. But they didn't mail anything... They just have this online signature nonsense, and that's suppose to be the contract, that's very deceptive... Their response to my complaint refused to achknoledge what they did was wrong, but I still got most my money back. They don't want their name to become bad with the BBB so it looks like they try to keep 0 complaints current. I was hoping there wasn't corruption between BBB and PMI, it looks like there isn't.

People. I just got 80% of my money refunded... I sent a complaint via the Utah BBB website and they responded within a month, and I got my money refunded, PMI sent a check through dhl... I spent 2500, and got refunded 1862 because I didn't extensively use their program or services. So try going through the utah bbb, and consumer services also replied to my complaint, but they replied weeks after I sent them a certified complaint about PMI. So I suggest u do that.

I fell for the same thing . Andy Young, the Financial Manager for PMI said the business would pay for it self anyway and I had nothing to worry about and he would email me a Contract. I also asked him if I would need to spend any more money and he said "No" .When I got the Contract the numbers didn't add up s0 I called to ask why the numbers didn't add up. I was treated rudely by Anthony Young who instead of answering my questions talked over me asking me if I thought I was getting the program for nothing and why did I think I was qualified to be considered for the program and was I teachable. I agreed to look at the Contract unaware that if I followed the emails that followed I would be agreeing to and signing the Contract. I was not aware there was such a thing as an "E" Signature. The Program was $3, 500.00. I was asked to pay $500.00 down and they would finance the rest. He then said it would be $519.00 when I asked him why the $19.00 extra dollars he never really answered me he just kept talking over me about Affilliates and Hosting Fees. I also talked to two women via emails. Jennie Daly who told me she couldn't let me out of the Contract but would reduce my monthly payment to $100 from $194.61. and leave it open until paid. When I got the Contract the Total Cost was $4, 001.94. which included $452.94. (18% interest) less the $519. = $3452.94 not $4oo1.94 Never did get an answer. That is when I found out from Jenni Daly my account was turned over to Duvera Financial. That is when I met Cara Levens, Billing Manager. who told me they did not process Paypal Accounts only Credit Cards and Checking Accounts. Somehow Anthony Morrission, PMI and Duvera Financial, Andy Young, Jennie Daly and Cara Levens, and someone named Victor Rich are all tied in together. This is a hugh scam and there are many, many arms to it. I have contacted the Attorney General's Office in California because they need to be stopped.

Too bad I read these posts too late and I did fell and sign up for the program after being drilled and convinced by a sales rep for almost 2 hours.
Please read my story and share yours on my blog: http://scammedbypmi.blogspot.com/.
The more we post and write on all the sites and blogs, the more we will help other potential customers and maybe PMI will hear our voices as well. I am also considering filing a complaint with Utah's Attorney General and it would be helpful if several of us joined in the complaint. Please message me privately if interested.

i totally agree that this company is a scam and my dad just signed up for it yesterday. i will have to let my dad know about this before that 3 day trial is due. i knew that this company is a scam, but i just searched Google to make sure that PMI is a scam. i will definitely make sure to tell my dad about this and tell him to call either the company up and tell them to cancel or just call up the credit card company and have the credit card company cancel the card and send out a new one. to all the people reading this site about this PMI company, please whatever you do, do not answer your phone when they do call your house and basically please do not answer these people that are thieves who will try to steal and take away your money. sure there are people making money from home and some are legit and others are just plain scams. do not fall prey and be a victim of this type of scam. due your due diligence and go by this old saying, if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. stay away from this company.

Thank you and God bless you for posting this on the internet. I also signed up with them last night. Because of you, I was able to stop the payment from my credit card company. If anyone else out there has recently signed up, don't wait the 3 days and try to deal with this company to tell them you have changed your mind. I called directly to my credit card company and told them it was a scam. They reversed the payment, canceled my card, and are sending me a new card. These kind of people are nothing but hard core thieves! And once again, thank you MCabral0820 and the rest of you who posted your stories on the internet. You saved a 60 year old woman from making a very big mistake.

I have also been stupid enough to fall for this scam. But I’m also going to fight and bring this company down in any way I can find. It will be hard to do it alone but if we all pull together we might be able to bring them down. With a law suite or closing their doors so they can't do it to anyone else.
