I loved the TV show but Scott's latest venture is to cash in by selling get rich quick training. Of course they make it clear that's not what they are doing and that there are no guarantees. BTW Scott does not show up. They hooked me in with a free introductory presentation over lunch. We sat through the first used car salesman who would start many questions with "raise your hand if." Five obviously yes questions culminated in a request to sign up for the 3 day $997 class. At the beginning of the meeting they said "don't leave early because everyone will get a $250 travel voucher. Lunch turned out to be a lunch meat sandwich in a box with a bag of chips and a apple. No drink. I was a sucker and stayed for the travel voucher. Tried to use it. Found out that you could purchase items, wine and travel. Tried to purchase a over priced kitchen mixer. Could I apply the $250 to the cost......no. They let you apply a small amount. With the $50 discount it was cheaper to buy the same product online. Voucher worthless. Even my condo presentation people came through with the $200 Visa card. The second speaker was a bigger used car salesman. He was selling a 2 1/2 day options training class for $299. Actually probably a better deal. More people would probably make money trading options than a "wholesale (no repair) flip" scheme. Save your money. Scott, bring back the show. read more

I have been slowly investing in single family homes since 2005 and I decided to attended a free seminar in Torrance, CA recently to see if I could pick up a couple of good tips or learn about different markets. Scott himself was not present, of course. This first presenter, "Trent" provided some very basic strategies about a few flip concepts. The "meat" of the highly scripted and staged presentation is ongoing promotion of a $2,000 three-day seminar. Based on further research on my part, I later learned that the $2,000 seminar is basically a sales pitch for $20K to $40K worth of "additional training" and "mentoring." All of the success stories that they described came from these people who bought these additional materials or training. I believe that this is horribly deceptive, misleading and unethical and it seems like they are preying on the unsophisticated and the elderly. The address and phone in this listing cannot be found on their website. Hmmmm... What really confused me was their "no credit" loan process. There were no details on how this really works, and there are zero opportunities for questions or discussion from the audience. The communication was all one-way, well crafted and tightly controlled. The tax liens presentation was interesting, but it had a $1,500 "membership" for access. The presenter was one of the slickest guys I have ever seen. I'm a marketing professional myself, but I was just marveling at his presentation style. I just looked up my 401K. I've been doing 12.52% since 2009 with pre-tax dollars, so I don't know how much an 18% lien with after-tax dollars really beats that. I left after about 3-1/2 hours, losing out on my "free gifts" in the process. A very useful review that I just found, consistent with my experience: http://wafflesatnoon.com/2014/01/07/scott-yancey-seminar-review/ Bigger Pockets also has a discussion going: http://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/79/topics/88107-what-to-expect-with-scott-yancey Scary complaints on the Utah Consumer Advocate site: http://www.utahconsumeradvocate.com/complaint-forum/professional-marketing-international-pmi/ read more

Reserved to attend 04-20-18 Noon event at 151 South Parsons Ave Merced CA Holiday Inn Express. Over booked at no seats left. They gave me and my wife each Flipping Your Way to Real Estate Profits book and Bonus Disc: #1 2 Crazy Secrets #2 Scott & Amie Yancey $60 gift certificate to Starbucks is a ruse. http://www.vipcoffeenow.com doesn't exist after I spent $5.25 at Starbucks and tried to redeem.

Okay,this house needed redue!! I lived this for two years. Was remodeled! We replaced everything with quality appliances and better flooring. We sold it, moved to California in late 2019. We made little more on this house. We bought nice on California. We paid all cash on this California home, The was in 600gk plus. read more

Just attended a Scott Yancy/Affluence EDU event in Temecula. I am always skeptical going into these things, a pre 2008 real estate "training" class held by Jeff Kaller; scum bag, has forever armed me against scammers. Never do a RE class with him. 40K out of my pockets-tough lesson! BUT, my lesson learned, loud and clear. Sorry to report the same for Scott and Amie Yancy's course. First, Scott Yancy has never come across as a nice guy on his flipping vegas show but I thought I'd check it out anyway. I knew the Yancy's would not be there, they have bigger fish to fry when they get your money. I didn't get a good feeling overall. I'm a podcast person and have learned a lot by listening to them, for free. You might want to consider the same. Always do your research, no matter how hard Scott Yancy's Group try and sell you "today". They smelled like rotten fish the whole way through. The initial presenter, Steve Johnson says he's been working with Scott and Amie for almost 10 years, maybe that's true. He is very entertaining and funny. This is business though and when you are talking about my money, you'd better be serious and bring serious substance. He sketchy looking; talked fast and didn't look at anyone, he looks over our heads. I didn't learn anything from his pitch I hadn't already learned in a podcast. Actually, I learned a great deal more from the podcast I listen to on BIGGER POCKETS this morning. Of course, Steve pitched a CRM platform for $997 and access to it for $29 bucks a month. Let's face it, at a free event they are trying to sell you something- Just make certain it's actually worth it. In this case, I would strongly urge not. The second presenter, also a Steve talked about stock options; puts and calls. "Timing is everything and there are pros and cons to having different types of investments." He offered 3-day event for stock put and call training for $297 to individuals who did NOT sign up for first guys ($997 pitch/real estate funding and online access platform). For those who did sign up with first offer, they were offered 3 day stock opt and put training for $197. Again, you can learn about stock puts and calls on your own, for free. Just Google it- or buy a book for 15 bucks. They probably converted 2 percent of the room, that's good money at $1000 a head. Most of the 2 percent buying both, that's $1200 bucks per person. Hard-working, middle-class people who obviously don't know much about real estate (I could tell from the questions they were asking) buying into 3 day session for $1,200 and when they go they will be asked for another 20-40K. Ay yi yi! These SCAMMERS COME OUT OF THE WOODWORK WHEN THE GOING GETS TOUGH. it's hard to make money in real estate right now because it is OVERPRICED across the board. A correction is coming in the market. I scooted out of the event prior to the free-bees. I didn't want to waste any time talking to anyone. I had heard nothing of value during the event, why waste any more time? THAT'S A BIG RED FLAG. When you can't grab ONE "AHA" during a free event. Just look at the long list of terrible reviews. All they want is your money. "....find good deals." This is not a good deal. This is ONE of Yancy's Multiple Streams of Income, and it happens to be PASSIVE INCOME for him because he's got nothing to do with holding the seminars. You can buy vacant land in Memphis TN, Detroit Mich, Parts of Ohio, NC/SC for a 1000. If you must burn money, do that and hold it. read more

The FTC is finally on to this ridiculous SCAM. https://magazine.realtor/daily-news/2019/11/07/ftc-cracks-down-on-real-estate-seminar-scams?AdobeAnalytics=ed_rid%3D1783597%26om_mid%3D1634%7CRealtorMagNews_2019_11_07%26om_nytpe%3DREALTOR%20MAG%20NEWS copied from my previous review: Don't waste your time... this is 4 hours of your life you will never get back. Nobody you have ever seen associated with the TV show will be there. Some 2nd rate actor (seriously, he used to do dinner theater) spends over 2 hours trying to engage the audience, while promising the moon and the stars at the end of which, they will ask you to part with over a thousand dollars for a 3-day "retreat" where you are supposed to actually learn how to make money in real estate. Clearly, this is how they make their money. You won't actually receive any useful information or learn anything new. His computer doesn't work and in all those hours nobody can fix it. The person who he says is coming to give a testimonial will get stuck in traffic and not show. The staff is unorganized, They won't even serve you the promised dinner. They will hand out a a few bags of stale turkey sandwiches then say they ran out. If they can't even run an evening sales seminar, why would anyone believe they will support you in your real estate endeavors. Run, don't walk away from this nightmare! read more

As much as I enjoy watching Scott's TV show, but his real estate retreat is a scam. They prey on the lower middle class who don't have much money in the first place. I could invest the $1000 but when they asked me, a single mother to take $30,000 out my 401k was deplorable. It was classic bait and switch, just to get you to sign up for the class. And to back track a little, the "FREE SEMINAR" with "Breakfast" is a scam too. The people that live in your area to give a testimony on how great it was NEVER SHOW up, they got stuck in traffic. The lunch was a plain piece of bread and a banana. I should have known they were dishonest, if you can lie about the little things, you definitely can lie about everything else. Where is the integrity? read more

I am very disappointed with outcome of the class . I paid $900+ to go an all weekend class 1.25.19 to 1.27.19. The presenter of this class told us about this great website we were going to have access to, at the end of the class. I was provider a pager to talk to a salesperson when it went off. I spoke to Kellie Brown and she told me that I was not getting access to the website unless I paid $30,000; I was very mad. By the way, I signed a contract for $1000 to have the class and access to the website. I reached out to Kelly on Monday and she denied our conversation. She said "I never told you about not having access to the web site" She said on 1.25.19 " it is all or nothing". No integrity. These people are going to take your money, runnnnnn. I will report this to the authorities, for sure. P.S. I noticed senior citizens in the class and it looked like they took their money ($30K), how sad...I think someone should investigate these people. read more

They said I would get a 250 target card..but it was a scam its called a shopping red...and it's Bs all of it is very Shady beware

I have purchased many systems and programs over the years. I pride myself on learning and growing. I like to learn the most efficient way possible. Below is my opinion on the Yancy program and I did purchase their Diamond Package. Scott Yancy was not involved in any training that I was a part of. His wife made a brief appearance at the event in Vegas. I am betting they just license his name and pay a royalty. I admit I got SOLD into the big program and spent a lot of money. Don't! I repeat DON'T waste your money. This is WAY overpriced, they way over promise and under deliver. I hope this review keeps as many people as possible from the hard core sales pitches and relentless upsells. Don't even attend the free event. It is a relentless hard core sales pitch and in my opinion should be illegal. Every event starting with the free event they tell you that you need to pay more to learn enough to be successful. Even after spending 5 figures on the Diamond package. They tell you to purchase their mentoring program which is a joke. It was sad watching endless people spend money on their credit cards that they don't have. Even teaching folks how to increase their limit. Claiming it is to leverage real estate but really to purchase the higher price programs. Every event no matter how much you spend is another sales pitch. They try to sell you everything from land, to turn key rentals, to health supplements to stock trading systems. Yes, they do teach you the basics. However, you can learn this same stuff from online forums, local REI groups, partnering with a mentor for FAR, FAR Less Money. They make you think there is a magic pill to transform you into a successful real estate investor all the while sucking money from you that you could be using to purchase real estate. I am a successful Real Estate Investor and Business owner so I pride myself on making a good investment in my education. THIS WAS NOT A GOOD INVESTMENT. I would actually rate it as the worst program I have ever purchased considering the money I spent. The information itself is not bad. JUST WAY OVERPRICED. Plus the unethical sales tactics they use to sell it is in my opinion is criminal. I have found books, forums and free resources with some easy Google searching that have been far more valuable. I have learned far more from networking with true professionals in my area, doing online research through forums and just getting my hands dirty and jumping in. read more

If I could rate minus stars I would. This is a rip off and they don't deliver on the promise they make when they sell you their system/education. They are as high pressured at selling you and taking your money as a timeshare presentation. I am over $16k in debt from their so called training from experts and successful.students. Our boots on the ground instructor gave us the impression he did not want to be there teaching and taught us absolutely nothing!! They will tell you to beg, borrow or steal, drain your 401, cash in your pensions, max out your credit cards, use your equity line on your home's anything to get your money for this useless course. Stay away from these lower life forms. read more

My Son received an invitation and talked me into going as his Guest. He wanted to go because of the free food and the promise on a Free MP3 Player if you sat through the whole lecture, which we did. What we didn't expect is at the end of the 3 hour lecture instead of a MP3 Player we got a voucher with a website that they said we had to go to. When people asked why they replied "There were more people than we expected and we ran out." That put up the red flag for me and I had a feeling we would never see the Free MP3 Player. When we got home we did as instructed and filled out the online form for the Player. Well it has been a month and we have never received it. Yep, Scam in my book. We did get Free food and drinks but that was it. Of course we did not sign up for any of the classes and I am guessing we will never be invited back. read more

Nice "Dog and Pony Show" ! It's not bad information but certainly not worth the money and time, they pray on desperate people with no remorse . Unless you are a hustler like them save your hard earned money. You pay $1,100 to a three day sales show so they can get the big money out of you, anywhere from $20k up to $40k. But great performance Every seminar they walk away with a lot money. Almost forgot don't use the credit service to get your credit score with there "password" all your information is forwarded to them. read more

Scam, Scam, Scam! Beware!!! We were flat out lied to on 4 counts! Thank God we got our money back before our three day notice of cancellation time was up! When we tried to get information, we were told that it was another department that would give us the information and they were never available to talk and they never called back! These are professional crooks! Get the stars out of your eyes from this flipping Las Vegas BS! There are much better ways to get this type education dirt cheap! Do your home work! They tell you how many people get their tuition back from applying their method through their tuition reimbursement program and by turning in the proper paperwork and it results in O .8% for 2017!!! I wonder why? Uhmmmm .... Now I'm looking at reviews online and many people are writing reviews that once they go to the three-day Workshop there is another Workshop that they need to attend that costs $30,000 to help you make your money! read more

Anytime anyone tells you that they can show you how to make money, you should be skeptical. So why would I rate this 5 stars? Let me tell you. I went to an event in up in Sacramento, CA. When I got there I was expecting a good presentation and to be sold some sort of training or package. Ultimately I wanted to figure out a way to get into real estate and start making more money than I am right now. I'm a big fan of Scott Yancey and the Flipping Vegas show, so I was hopeful. They did not disappoint. The information is spot on, the presenters are engaging, and the opportunity is real. They provided thousands of examples of people who have actually done real estate investments after going through their program. This was enough to get me excited. Personally, I'm looking to invest in something better than stocks and hopefully, eventually just work for myself. There aren't lot of businesses I would like to run, but real estate something I feel I can get behind and I'm willing to put in the effort to make that happen. While it is possible to become a successful real estate investor learning from the school of hard knocks, it's nice to have the Yancey support team backing me up. My advice to someone going to one of these seminars would be to know what to expect before you go. If you are looking to find an avenue to augment your financial situation, real estate could be the answer. I don't know if there is a magic bullet for getting rich, but I'm going to work at the real estate thing with Scott Yancey to see if I can make some magic happen. read more

This is a scam company. They entice you to their meetings via a $250 Starbucks card and other gifts that is a lie. Then once you are there they give you just enough information to make you feel that your time was well spent with them. Then they get you to pay for a 3 day event. On the Starbucks card they give you a bogus code that is invalid - I would strongly advise you to run far away from them if you see them coming your way! All their phone numbers are disconnected so that you cannot call them to complain about their service and their lies. SCAMMERS!!! read more

Can't believe these scammers are still being allowed at venues all over the country, basically to blatantly ridicule the lesser informed. I'll keep it short n to the point : - 4 1/2 hours wasted on a weekday listening to these con artists - everyone in this country looking to break out of their day to day rut has gone to a seminar like this; just ask yourself, if it's really so damn great, why aren't the big $ developers just jumping on this ? I'm pretty sure big multi-billion $ corporations building residential and commercial properties would love it. On the contrary, they know damn too well to stay away. - anytime after a presentation like this, ur asked to make a decision right there n then to sign up, u know damn well it's a scam. Why can't ppl go home n decide without being under duress ? - They are even so cunning, to even mention that "we will make $ off of ur deals, blah blah...." Then why charge $2000 for a "retreat", come on lowlifes Scott n Amie Yancey, have some dignity! - Why are there no business cards available, if it's such a great deal ? All legit businesses have business cards with physical address and local phone # to identify the entity, and to a great extent, the legitimacy. read more

I wish there was a "0" rating for what I encountered at one of the seminars. Scott & Amy, I love watching you on TV, but Trent needs to go. Worse night EVER @ a seminar. First off, my name is NOT darlin. Secondly, a man was getting up to leave and he was rude to them. Third, I asked a question and a straight answer wasn't even given. I left after 30 minutes of listening to his cocky attitude. I met a few people there who informed me of the boxed sandwich they were given fr a DINNER!!! That's not a dinner, that's a kids lunch. You want all this money for this BS school. But you can't even give people a REAL dinner? Also... not for nothing, but if you want people to believe that this works, show them it does without them having to spend ANYTHING out of pocket. Like for instance, Dave Ramsey @ www.daveramsey.com, the most awesome man ever! He shows you FREE without you spending a dime that you can do what he teaches. Then after you SEE that it works, IF you CHOSE to buy something, you can, BUT you don't have to. To me you should purchase a house and let the student take control and see if they can do it right in a contract with you of course. If it doesn't go right, then you get ALL MONIES from that house and they get ZIP! But you want up to 40 K!! Unreal!! Left it and glad I did. Oh! And BTW, I NEVER got a camera or anything for going to this event!! read more

I wish there was a way to say that there was a class-action lawsuit pending for this SCAM because it has hurt many persons. We can't begin to imagine how this has impacted many who went there and spent everything they had. We have followed up with some others who participated in purchasing the "Diamond package" and they agree that it does not and has not worked. They remind me of a Time Share, with high pressure salesmen and there's no getting out of it once you are in. We went to a "real" investor who offers "real" classes at 6K. It costs, by the time you get done with their SCAM classes, more than 8 times what it would really cost. The "real" investor in Maryland stated that they could not know the laws for each state, so they have to be in violation of the state regulations from what they teach. read more

I have been investing in funding real estate deals for 20 years. Scott isn't being straight with you, to put it mildly. The property has to have a low LTV, but more importantly, NO ONE IS GOING TO LEND YOU MONEY WITHOUT YOU PUTTING MONEY INTO IT.....YOU HAVE TO HAVE SKIN IN THE GAME. Think about it. If you don't have at least, if not more, money into the house, and you get sick, hit by a car, lose interest, etc. down the road........I am freakin' stuck with a house I DON't want and will lose money. More importantly..........NO ONE IS GOING TO GIVE MONEY TO A FIRST TIME FLIPPER WHO IS NEW AT THIS. These scumbags who do these seminars are the worst of the worst, preying on people who want to be entrepreneurs and don't have much business experience. Don't do any of these stupid ass tv offers. If it sounds to good to be true, it is a scam. Also, the idiot says we are at a bottom in the real estate market and that is an out and out lie. read more

If you been a victim contact your local TV news, file complai ts with BBB.org FTC, FCC, Real Estate Commissioner in your state we have to put an end to them. read more

Attended the may 13th event. This was just a money grab attempt. 1k for the 3 day weekend, which is fine but then they want 30k for a mentor program. Some good info there but this was very misleading. The Yancey's will not be there. Better info on youtube for free. read more

The Steve Yancey project about real estate is a hoax. The presenter will even tell you that the reviews on yelp are made up. I assure you they are not made up. He will tell you how it is big business to trash companies on Yelp and then charge companies $50,000 to the negative reviews down. I live in the San Francisco area and know people that work for Yelp and was told its a lie. Nobody gets paid to take down any reviews. I just attended a three-day in Berkeley California at the LaQuinta Inn. They go on and on about how these events are usually at high-end hotels. The one in Berkeley is anything but a high-end hotel. It's a three day hard sales pitch, seriously you learn nothing. All they do for three days is attempt to convince you that you need more training that cost close to $69,000. Basically you spend $2000 and are told for three days are you need to invest in more training. They keep referring to property Pro software. Deals cannot be done without property Pro software. Do participants get property pro at the end of the three day? No participants must spend more money to get it. On the first day the presenter has everybody's spend about 30 minutes calling their credit card company to attempt to raise their credit line. If people don't have credit they are encouraged to go to credit karma.com and check their credit scores and apply for offers. They want The participants to have high credit limits so they could pay for the additional training on day three. They even tell you your credit score doesn't matter, so ridiculous. One of the advisers, I think is what they call them, was encouraging me to participate in activities that would be lower my credit score. It was so sad to see how many minorities were in the room. Mostly the room consisted of African-Americans and Latin Americans. So sad that Yancey and Company what attempt to get money from people that appear desperate. So sad that Yancey thinks minorities are so desperate for money they will just Max out their credit cards and give their money away to Yancey and his team. This is a new kind of Racial profiling. The amount of valuable information presented could consist of about one hour or less. The presenter repeats the same thing time and time again. It is the most organized form of brainwashing I have ever witnessed. I met with my advisor/personal coach,as the Yancey people call him, and I could not sit through the group presentation. The presentation was horrible, I would give it a negative scores if possible. The presenter is useless. He is dressed nice.The words he says go against every single thing human beings are taught. The presenter offers nothing useful at all and it is a total waste of time, money, and is just a way for them to get $1000 per person. Do not waste your money with this program. I am real, I am not made up, and I am not getting any money for posting this negative review, nor am I going to get any money for removing this negative review. Again I can't stress enough, this is a waste of your money, your time, your energy, and any excitement that you have waiting to go to your three-day was surely disappear very quickly on Friday morning. My coach, my mentor want whatever it is Yancey and Company call the one on one person we meet with, told me he has never seen anybody make one deal without advanced training. This is his words. If you plan to spend about $69,000, I'm sure you can make some money over some period of time. I was NEVER told and given information how to access funds to do deals as promised in the free presentation. In order for this to be successful participants need to know a lawyer, a realtor, a rehabber, and know individuals that are willing to approach people and buy their house from them for way less than the house is worth. read more

First let me say don't waste your time and throw your invitation in the garbage. We attended Scott Yancey seminar yesterday and have nothing good to say about it from start to finish. First of all they ask you to wear business attire, why, can't figure it out. No need, shorts were fine. They tell you it will be a 90 minute presentation with lunch and prizes. Well the 90 minutes turned into 4 hours of hard pitched sales. Felt like we were at a timeshare presentation. Started at noon and it was 2:30 before they gave us our lunch. . A sandwich, chips, cookie, and water all in box that you had to eat on your lap while listening to the next pressure sale. It started with how to buy and sell real estate. Some information was interesting but the rest was all about buying into going to their 3 day seminar for a low cost of only $2000. Then while we ate, the next pitch on how to invest your money came with another pressure sell to attend their seminar for $500. Finally the 3rd pitch came on how to buy tax lien properties by attending another seminar for only $300. If that was not enough while they were smuzing the poor attendees who fell for the whole thing hook line and sinker we were left waiting to get our promised free MP3 players while still having to listen to another sell on if we did not buy into any of the other 3 seminars we could still get a DVD of 1/2 of the first day of the 3 day presentation for another $20. Once it was all over at 4 pm they handed MP3 players ( you can buy for $3 yourself) and and there was no mention of the computer that was to the first 50 to sign up. Needless to say by the end most people were super mad, tired, and felt like there were duped and wasted 4 hours of their time. Also I sat next to a man who's wife was in hospice and had a reverse mortgage on his home and they were still trying to get his money. Really they were not professional at all. It was all a scam to get your money. Your time is more valuable than a sandwich. read more

I am a full time real estate investor and attended 1 of the free seminars and completed some research. Bottom line is this is another cookie cutter seminar formulated to take your money with no support or incentive for them to make sure you are successful. If you want success in any business especially real estate investing you should find a local real estate mentor. As an experienced investor I have heard the same from other successful investors. None of these seminar companies who travel from hotel to hotel care about your success. These Yancey seminars will run their course and walk away with as much of your hard earned money as they can. AVOID AVOID AVOID. Their techniques and strategies are dated and scripted. The disingenuous pitchmen can be compared to the used car salesmen stereotype. No offense to used car salesmen, just trying to make a point. read more

FYI, every Free seminar will try to sell you their products once you are there. We went to their Glendale Arizona seminar last week. There were hundreds of people there, they all get pitched by several good sales people, they start with a higher price of $1,996 for their 3 day retreat training seminar and they tell you if you sign up on the spot, your price goes in half to $998 per person. They throw in other freebies to make it sound good! Once you sign up for this "3 Day Retreat", you will get pitched other products for additional cash. We did not stay for their free lunch, as we were not desperate enough for a $5 boxed lunch. Again, if you go to any Free seminar, they will have great sales people there and they do want your money. read more

Went to a seminar in Virginia Beach, Virginia because of the promise of a Kindle Fire Stick. Nowhere in the information does it say you need to bring $2000 for a 3 day retreat. If I had $2000 I wouldn't be spending it for 3 days indoors. I've learned a lesson about being cheap. The Kindle Fire Stick is only $39 and I now know that my time is worth more than me trying to save the $39 by going to this seminar. If you have $2000 and 3 days it sounds like a nice program, but I can't attest to the 3 day retreat. DON'T GO. Not only was the cheap gift a toy camera, when asked about the Kindle Fire Stick, I was told "oh they change" read more

I attended Scott Yancey seminar yesterday at the Sheraton Reston. I didn't believe on anything that they talked about. It sounded like a big scam and yet people don't get it. The guy keeps repeating things over and over again. I think they are just after peoples money. I decide to leave after the break , when they were telling people to sign up.It looks like a set up, maybe their own people signing up to make it looks like there were people signing up. Some people got up and left, including me. read more

It's all about real estate. You can "flip" or you can "hold". You see the Yancey's on tv, but the seminars and workshops give you the tools. Preparation and opportunities to become successful. All it takes is $$$ read more

I left this event knowing I was going to invest in real estate because I was educated with the tools to become successful. I have to thank the well-educated trainers at the event for helping me see that I can actually have positive returns on my investments! The trainers taught me how the real estate industry works and how to get positive returns on my investments. Thanks Scott Yancey, this event was definitely worth attending read more

Complete waste of my time and a scam. Just a aggressive, smooth car salesman. I did sign up for the event but end up couldn't go because of work. Later asked a refund because of the whole event sounded like a scam, after I thought about it. Called and called but no one seems to know which department handles refund and 2 months past. I asked for a refund through my credit card a month after purchase. Get this, abundance Edu. LIED to my credit card company saying that I already went to the event therefore could not issue refund. And stupid US bank visa card believe them and reversed the credit. Finally got the refund after reporting to BBB! All of $2194. Winx1 BBB, thank you!! read more

0 stars!!!! Attention Abilene Community: I'm gonna tell you what they won't tell you about Scott Yancey's Seminar! I went to this so-called Free Seminar, it's far from Free! It's a 3-day event 1st day ok, that's free 2nd day they convince you to invest $2,000.00 out of your pocket for a packet of info about real estate 3rd day they would Love for you to dig deeper into all your funds for a $40,000.00 investment! You will never see Scott or Amy at this Seminar because they know they are scamming! I did really like Scott and Amy Yancey until this! I got screwed out of the 2nd day investment, but they surely ain't gonna get $40,000.00 out of me for something that's supposed to be Free! This was in Las Vegas, now I see they are at it again here in Abilene! Don't fall for this and regret it as I did! Also they offer Free Lunch/ Dinner, but it's only a $10 gift card per guest! Free iPod or MP3 player was promised as well, it's a lie!!! All of it are lies!!! Scott Yancey just wants your Money, all of your Money!!! Don't Go!!! read more

Feel you were scam? Call them to request refund and contact credit card provider to dispute charge. I was able to get my money back, even after three days had passed. Walked off on first day of training after they try to get an additional $30,000. read more

They actually had the nerve to call and laugh in my face, saying the free lunch which was left over breakfast roll was free, Mr. mays, what do you expect from us.....EXACTLY SCOTT why should I have expected anything different from a a hole like you? You are lieing to folks and taking their last dollars to live your lifestyle. I pray to God, yes Scott "GOD" that he bring you the karma you deserve. And yes if I just paid them more money they said I would be shocked at what could have happened. read more

Attended a three-day real estate workshop in Bakersfield. The classes have equipped me to locate deals, analyze deals, find cash buyers and sellers, and buy a property anywhere in the USA. The instructor was quite knowledgeable and experienced. The lessons taught were definitely appreciated. SBLRivera read more

I just finished my 1st boots on the ground training weekend. I received all types of great information and instructions on how to use this program. It will be put to good use and I appreciate all the help I have given. I look forward to going to the buyers seminar in Las Vegas to learn about other things that I can learn about and other ways I can start other investments. I love this program!!! read more

Signed up for his seminar, based on an infomercial, not having seen his TV show. (Had I seen the TV show first, so unprofessional, I would not have signed up at all.) Had numerous reminder calls and emails. Confirmed we were coming. We showed up... as did approximately 75 other people... but NO ONE from Yancey's group did. After waiting about 30 minutes at a top notch hotel the hotel staff said they tried every contact # they had and could not reach any one from Yancey's group. When I checked the internet for further info (I should have done this first before committing to waste my time) I see many complaints. The good news is we only lost our drive time and 30 minutes waiting for him, but didn't have to endure an unprofessional presentation to take our money and waste more time. read more

Wow, we are learning more and more everyday! Hello Scott Yancey, we appreciate you letting us know that someone would contact us within a week, but it has been almost two weeks and no one from your company has contacted us. Please advise. read more
