Not for everybody

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
Rich dad is an excellent company in my opinion, I have attended several seminars and yes they are not cheap, but the content, and the people that you meet are worth the price. If you thing you can get free valuable education (the same as everyone else) or free financial advise, go to University of Havana, Cuba. Like I said this is not for the unwashed masses, this is for people who value education, self improvement and invest in themselves. This is for the 1% like or not, they don't tell you this, this is something that you already should know going in, if you don't know that, then you are the 99%.

Scammed in Texas into multi-thousand dollar trainings

I was scammed in Texas. A slick speaker tricked me and others into signing up for multi-thousand dollar, phony trainings. I hired a good lawyer and we are going to take RD to court. If you were ripped-off by RD in Texas, please email me at smfrk@***.com. I believe we can help each other. I wish everyone financial health and freedom from this dirty company. P.S. For those of you who are not aware, this company was forced in 2012 to repay $194,897.83 to consumers identified by the Florida Attorney General's Office; and-- The company must pay $500,000.00 to the Florida Attorney General's Office as reimbursement for costs and fees incurred. It seems that RD is not working hard enough to keep their scam job camouflaged. The Attorney General's Office of Florida understands that they are ripping people off. The below paragraph comes from the BBB's website: FLORIDA: On July 2, 2012, a Consent Agreement and Final Order was entered finalizing the Florida Attorney General's action against the company, alleging violations of Florida's Unfair and Deceptive Trade Practices Act (Case Number 2012-CA-8543-O, filed in the Circuit Court of the Ninth Judicial Circuit in Orange County, Florida). The terms of the Consent Agreement are:-- The company can only use consumer endorsements that accurately depict the actual experiences of the consumers' who have used the company's products or services;-- The company may not use any consumer endorsement that does not accurately depict the experiences that are representative of those that consumers usually achieve from the use of the company's products or services; -- The company must clearly disclose the total price of the products and services the consumer cited in their endorsement which the consumer received for free or at a discounted price not regularly available to all consumers; -- The company cannot engage in deceptive price comparisons;-- The company must maintain a list of all products and services related to real estate investment education and will clearly disclose the list on any website or person-to-person advertisement it uses to advertise its services related to real estate investment education;-- The company must pay $194,897.83 to consumers identified by the Florida Attorney General's Office; and-- The company must pay $500,000.00 to the Florida Attorney General's Office as reimbursement for costs and fees incurred. - See more at: Rich Dad Education, Inc.

2 hour free seminar to $495 for 3 day to 12k to 42k elite training

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
in the 2 hour free class they sold me on a 3 day training class where whole selling and foreclosures and many other items were supposed to be taught. They were only glossed over and said that in the Elite Training they would cover in depth. I felt like it was a 3 day info-mercial that I had to pay $495 for. very disappointed as I enjoyed and learned from Richard Kiyosaki books . Ann was also our trainer and she never really answered questions, very good at diverting. I did not attend the third day either, too frustrating to be sold again and again every day

Don't go. Don't pay.

Hello, i just read the review above and it is very true. I paid $495 as well earlier this year and they said they were supposed to cover everything and didn't cover ***, She talked nonsese the whole time and killed 8 hours b.s over dumb topics. I didn't attend the last day and left early the second day because i was so angry with this ***.

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

Please i need someone's help, i want to sue richdadeducation.com for bridge of contract and fraud.

A few among the many email conversations i had with richdadeducation.com before making payments for the course.

From Myself

Hi Clint,

I was lucky to be among those the government is going to pay due to the damage caused by one of their agencies.

I will now be able to pay for the advanced forex courses listed below, i hope it will be the only money i have to pay, because i will be highly disappointed if i am asked to pay additional fee for more training.

1 advanced training: $1,490.00

2 advanced training's: $ 2,490.00

4 advanced training's: $ 4,490.00

What i want is very simple, IT IS TO GENERATE CASH FLOW from the foreign exchange a.k.a (FOREX) market consistently on a monthly basis, Is it possible to generate cashflow from the forex market?

Please kindly explain to me how the training's work and what i will get.

From the richdadeducation.com

On Monday, November 4, 2013 9:15 PM, Clint Trujillo Hi Kelvin,

It is good to hear back from you!

If you want to learn how to effectively trade and generate cash flow from the foreign exchange markets you need to take Master Trader & Focus Forex. Below is a description of each training curriculum. The two trainings would be $2,490 and you will have immediate access upon payment. I can also have one of my FX specialists spend some one-on-one time with you as you have question and need help.

This will give you the starting point that you will need to start building your trading business. Keep in mind you can always learn more through education but this will give you the foundation that you need to start building your business into what you want to.

Let me know when you would like to start the training and I will help you to get everything setup.

Clint Trujillo Sr. Education Consultant

They aren't honest so therefore it's perceived as a scam..what u pay for is not what u get cause they focus on marketing the next upgrade class while your in a class that was paid for already

.that's the bummer of it all...read the books and get your money's worth..the coaching I paid $6000 for was a waste cause even though they guided me thru the process I didn't learn anything new and it didn't make my success..some info tge y offer is helpful but certainly not worth the price you have to pay..

Guest

Clint I am so sorry to hear your experience. I have stumbled upon your review after attending my second day and having a gut feeling this is all a scam.

Are you still looking to take action on this? I certainly am and have the vehicle to do so.

If so Contact me on my personal email. Dferraez5@***.com

Rich Dad 3-day training is a SCAM!!!

They say live life with no regrets...screw that, this is a regret that I will live with for the rest of my life. I was convinced to purchase the 3-day course for $495. I was told that the price was a special and would soon go up to $1050. I was promised to learn about closing a wholesale deal, doing foreclosures, asset protection, and so much more. At the 3-day class we never learned anything! The instructor, Ann, merely gave numerous positive affirmations. Her lectures never went further than motivational quotes and giving reasons to INVEST in our education. Throughout the course she told different stories of cheap deals that she scored in the past using techniques that she learned while taking OTHER RICH DAD CLASSES. Get it?????? This class is not meant to teach real estate, as it says on the cover page of the training manual. In fact, we never even used the manual. This class turned out to be a 3-day sales pitch to purchase expensive rich dad packages ranging between $11k-$58k. Oh yeah, lets not forget about the increasing your credit limit portion of the class...I mean how else will you afford the class? There was never a time for the "students" to ask questions in the class. The only time that we were "allowed" to ask questions was during breaks on a 1-on-1 basis with the trainers. I remember specifically a time where my "free guest" and I asked a rich dad employee of the success rates of past students who have gone through and purchased the next level classes. This man knew nothing, he literally said, "I can't tell you what your success rate will be. I know that Rich Dad has been good to me!" LOL Really???!!!!!! I worked and trained as a sales rep for 3 years and Rich Dad employees did everything that I was taught. Control the conversation...Answer questions with questions...and overcome objections with statistics. Unless you have money to waste on motivational quotes and a sales pitch then don't take this class!!!

Resolved: Rich Dad Coaching Scam

Updated by user Aug 25, 2014

The good news is that I did eventually negotiated a fair refund. Not the total amount, but what I asked for as a compromise, considering I did use 2months of the course. (I never did get to hear a playback of the voice recordings though, so am still sure that I was...

Original review Jul 09, 2014
I paid USD$4899 for a program that promoted itself as 12 months of Rich Dad Coaching. The program is called Rich Dad Choose to be Rich - International Real Estate, however the coaching stopped after just 2 months.

The rest of the time is meant to be self paced online learning that might not even be assessed when submitted. The coaching that I did have, was for 1/2 an hour a week and it was only on the 7th week that I was told that the 8th week would be my last. I thought ok, the next part of the 'training' must involve something different, hopefully something less in the way of general chats about how I was going and the odd explanation or tip. This was not the case.

I complained and asked for a refund for the remaining months of my training, and a copy of the recording of the conversations I had with the reps who sold me this program (to prove that I had been sold 12 months of coaching - not just 2).

To date I have not had my complaint answered nor have I been provided with a copy of the voice recordings. It seems that I have fallen victim to a money grabbing scam.

I got ripped off by these charlatans on their business coaching course. Cost was similar to this person, and the person who was supposedly delivering the training was a total amateur.

Nothing provided by the course was new or enlightening, and it seemed that coach was reading directly out of a manual during the phone calls.

Would never, ever buy anything endorsed by or produced by Robert Kiyosaki again. When I first read Rich Dad Poor Dad I thought this guy had something interesting to teach, but what I learned is that he's got a great marketing machine behind him building a lot of hype with no substance.

As an Aussie, who has invested in Australia, the UK and the ME, I was just interested in buying into the US property market. At the time the exchange rate was very good from this end.

I still wish I had made it happen. But having tried twice to get professional help, and twice realized that the professionals were professional ***-artists, I think I've gone right off the idea.

There are plenty of other places in the world to invest. The US needs to do something about these operations, as I'm sure I'm one of many who'll not bother again

Rich Dad Education won't stop spamming

I've received unsolicited emails from these guys every day for the past three weeks, sometimes more than one a day and always from "hijacked" email addresses. When I say "hijacked" I mean email addresses like: abduction.eventregistration@***.com eventregistration98107@***.pw eventregistration-54115****miyssqforestation@***.com Do you think legit companies would advertise this way? I would expect something with a "richdad" domain name since their web address is richdadeducation.com but I guess they've hired a *** marketing company to push their product. Unsubscribing and calling them has done no good, nor has posting to their Facebook page but after reading the Ripoff Report on them I guess I'm not surprised. Have you heard the warning "buyer beware?" It may have been created for these guys.

Course price is high

​I signed up for the elite training package after the 3-day seminar in St.Louis Hilton Hotel. It's a $27000 package for three courses, with two softwares. I took the Lease Option and Foreclosure. Good courses, lots of useful info, instructors shared their experience. One of the instructors is the one who created the tool market scanner. He is doing deals day and night, he completed two of his own deals in the 5 weeks training period. He showed us the whole process, all documentations. That was a good class. Now I have another course to choose from out of three from the initial package, but I'm thinking two subjects are enough for me for now. So, I am willing to share my another spot with anyone who's interested. I called Rich Dad Education, they allow me to transfer my spot for another course to anyone, I just to need to sign a release form. So, if you are interested, please send me(James) a mail by the end of Dec 2014. I can be reached at jsstl2014@***.com

Rich Dad Education are Scammers, Beware of them.

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

www.richdadeducation.com is a scam company, beware of them.

I am crying, i need an angel to save my life, i am about to commit suicide,i will be arrested for the second time because i am unable to pay back the money robert kiyosaki's company www.richdadeducation.com scammed me,they are based in Florida, i was lured to pay the sum of $2500 for Advanced Forex Cashflow Education,that will enable me to generate consistent profit

I told Clint Trujillo, a senior educational consultant at rich dad education, that i want to learn how to make cash flow from the Forex Market, he said they can teach me how to generate consistent income from the Forex market and turn it into whatever business i want, now i can not even make capital gains talk less of cash flow, i even explained the conditions behind the way i will be sponsored to pay the training fee, he said it sounds good, so i proceeded, he told me i can generate cashflow from the Forex Market if i take the Advanced Forex Course, i am the first child in a family of 5, and we are too poor to afford $2500, i only paint to feed my self and my 4 younger ones. It took me 2 years to get someone that accepted my proposal for sponsorship to take the education, but with heavy terms, which i told the Clint Trujillo and he gave me the go ahead.

Now i am fraustrated and useless in life, we use to be poor but have peace, but now these company has robbed my peace and will rob me my life very soon.

I have sent several emails to the company to refund back the money to my sponsor to save my life, but they refused.

They no longer reply my emails or pick my calls, please advice me on what i can do to get back my money from these scam company.

My name is Kelvin, i am from nigeria, my phone number is +234809****971, my email is kelvindfxguru@***.com, if you know anyway i can get the money from these heartless criminals, please tell me and save me from commiting suicide.
