Befoundjobs.com This is scam

Wasted 15 minutes listening to the web meeting introduction. Though it was one of these short free webinars. Realized quickly this is phishing in a different way. There was ZERO info said. All they wanted is to gather info on people, contact them, get money and do nothing. SCAM.
I did not contact this company. They sent me an email and I thought they were connected to LINKEDIN. Apparently they don't even know Linkedin. They're just trying to get people to pay for nothing. Worst thing is that they can provide like 7 advices (that almost everybody knows) on how to improve your profile on Linkedin. Just 7 general advices.
Keep away from them. There are many free places on the web that provide the basic info.

Greig Wells lures people into participating in a 2.5+ hour webinar to help people "be found" by recruiters in order to find jobs faster. The big lur is there are "Super Connectors" out there and if you can connect with them, your chances of being found go up astronomically. He offers a few other tips but this is primarily the crux. He does state, he can't...

Befoundjobs.com They didn't provide info about seminar

I recently found the website www.befoundjobs.com. I updated my resume and thy offered to visit their seminar about jobs, opportunities and etc. I decided to visit this seminar. I paid and the rep promised to send me the date and time of this seminar. I waited couple of days, but no one replied. I called them and left messages, but they ignored me.I wonder if there are other people, who had the same experience. Let’s share views about this website.

Befoundjobs.com Certainly feels like a scam

Are you kidding? I paid, I scheduled and they cancelled. No call back number - no way to contact them... 4 emails sent and none returned... Certainly feels like a scam!

My LinkedIn account is now restricted as they had changed their user agreement in June of last year. Unaware, I added Befound Jobs August 3rd, 2017. After realizing I had been taken advantage of in the worst way I posted here: XXX The product was delivered but poorly, as a warning to others. I have found that my credit card was accessed for a second $997 payment. That's under review with my bank. LinkedIn is reviewing my account. My advice to the wise is to review the user agreement. Oh and, Greig Wells, with all due respect, give a public explanation on how to fully remove The BeFoundJobs borg software. Regards, Patricia~

I sat through the initial free seminar and liked the techniques mentioned. I was intrigued further so I went ahead and paid the $500 for the session.

I received what I paid for. What I expected was a revamp of my profile as far as the "heading" portion of it...obviously they were not going to touch my work experience, but they did look at skills and attempt to match them up with what they thought was the best description of your profession. Even that section I could only take with a grain of salt because unless the coach was in my line of work they may not have known many of the buzz words...but I was actually pleased that my coach when looking at my profile did catch some of the relevant important skills that were relevant to today.

The advantage of becoming and connecting with super connectors did get my profile moving. I went from 107 connections to 700 connections in just two weeks, and they only provided me 200 connections. My views per week is healthy at 15-20 so far. I had received nothing for consideration prior to this, but in just the first two weeks I have been contacted by two recruiters, and 3 HR departments about possible positions. With some further tweaks on the employment history and such I do not feel there would be any problems landing just the right job.

The add in information has been great as well...they call them the "bonus" material. I have worked with someone in reference to branding and have picked up some great ideas from that as well and am working to implement them. There will be one on one coaching for a month that I am yet to try out...need to do that soon :) And have received some great information on interviewing, resume writing, and some other stuff that has dramatically changed the look and ultimately the feel of my resume.

I have seen some folks in the past respond that HR people say differently on some things...but the key is to get past those HR people, the HR folks are the ones that run the filters...and if you are structured correctly to get past the filters then you are going to get an email or a phone call to set something up. Once you are in the door you have bypassed the HR folks and now the hiring manager is looking at your resume and your LinkedIn profile and they are the ones that you can target the "wow" for.

Perhaps one of the few hits I have already had will pan out for a job offer. If so then I will be back to provide an update :)

XXX The product was delivered but poorly. It really set off my warning alarms when I later looked at my resume on Linkedin no longer in correct format and grammar. I contacted Greig Wells directly through the net of different email addresses; there might be one that reaches him directly. The response was little more than, "I can't make people hire you". I don't know if it came from him or a rep. I was told by a recruiter friend that the coined phrase, " open to opportunities" marks a candidate as desperate! Fool me once shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. You can go into Paypal and remove the recurring payment. You can also call your bank or credit card. They know when this type of transaction is questionable. As soon as I have the time to bring my Linkedin account back to its original state of correctness and contacts, I will. Buyer be warned! No, you can't lie about any job information! Creating a group isn't but marking that you currently work there is a falsehood. Good luck and Be Careful out there!

Oh wow so many negative reviews! I also purchased his LinkedIn training and haven't received any support for over 2 weeks while writing 3 emails to them asking about issues that I had on my personal website https://www.mitjadolinsek.com/ - so far they haven't delivered on ANYTHING!

I didn't give it the time or money to find out if it was a scam. I bailed after the first 20 minutes. With his exhausting hyped-up, near-yelling tone and 10 minute-long diatribe about his accomplishments, it felt more like an info-mercial for stain remover than a serious, professional job hunting aid. The guy needs to lay off the caffeine and learnt o use inflections in his speech...and stop spending so much telling people *about* what you're going to teach, and just give them the information.

Although I believe in the A.I.M. Coaching system, I can see how crucial it is to selling clients to continue with the coaching program.
At this point, I am rather confused if I am signed up for the Premium partners and Founding Members program.
I'd appreciate someone getting back to me. Also, I have requested over 6 times what the status was on my SEO resume I paid for. Noone, has gotten back to me. The more I read from the comments, the more skeptical I am getting and I still want to be a life coach.
Thanks,
L.Blumenthal

I tried Greig's "free" one month trial of four 15-minute personal coaching sessions. All I had to do was pay $1.00 and Greig ASSURED everyone on the webinar that would be the only charge we would see. In fact, he said, if we were unhappy with the coaching, he would even refund our $1.00. The coach missed my first call! I got some lame excuse and assigned to another coach. Her first coaching call was 6 minutes long. Then she called me back because she forgot to ask me "why" I wanted what I said I wanted. Sounded like she checked in with someone who told her what she missed. Then she read from the script. After the second week, I quit because I was getting nothing out of another 6 minute "coaching" call. I didn't want to WASTE MY TIME, or hers. But the WORST PART was two months later WHEN MY CREDIT CARD WAS CHARGED $297! I am not kidding. Plus, I keep getting emails about Greig's "Coaching Webinars" and how I can make $150/hr being a coach for him! It's so easy, he says, that your background doesn't really matter, as you follow a script. NO KIDDING! What a fraudulent scam and a waste of time.

Greig is a master...of finding endless numbers of partners who are also pitching "breatkhrough" job search or sales prospecting programs.

The worst among these are a woman named Tammy and fast buck "how to set up your own consulting business ad get rich" artist from Australia. The M.O. for all is the same: Grieg allows them to use his name in promoting webinars, where the script always follows the same structure: first, make the audience members feel trapped in hopeless job searches or stuck in dead-end positions. Then hold out some supposed path of salvation to employment or entrepreneurial nirvana. Next, move in for the the kill, by pivoting to an inevitable sales pitch (which usually takes up half to two thirds of the total webinar) where Greig or the partner hypes a "turnkey "shortcut way to get you there. The latter of course plays the classic game of scarcity ("we can only accept "X" number or participants), fake discounts ("we normally sell this for "Y", but for our special guests today, we're taking 40% off that price") and time sensitivity (that discount is only good for purchases made right now.")

And once you are on his mailing list, you'll get endless invitations to these things. He changes the subject matter titles to try and keep things fresh, but again the M.O. is the same: These "free webinars" are nothing more than thinly disguised infomercials for canned and usually ineffective "solutions."
