Here's an angle: Dalbey makes us establish a business-type setup. Therefore, we come up with a business name. Since we are in business, we need to file with the IRS, of course. Is there any way we can get money back by taking losses? If you make less than a certain amount, aren't you entitled to some kind of credit. I don't know the details, but this would certainly bring these maggots to the attention of the IRS. Of course, what they already pay in taxes probably would cancel that out, in theory. The IRS probably loves this company.

Saw the infomercial and thought, what the heck, for only $39.95 and I could return for full refund if not satisfied. Well, I was not satisfied, returned the material and was debited another 2 installments of $39.95 after I returned the product. Called them to no avail and also reported to my credit card company to no avail. They flat out lied about how much the program would cost and did not stand behind their refund offer. I lost only $120, but I want recourse.

I was ripped off by Dalbey Institute for their protege lessons and later they asked me to enter their fast track personal training for $3500.00. I could not use their program and requested them for a refund but they refused. I got reviews from many actual customers who got ripped off by them. They do not have a refund policy even when they have not given me any actual service of personal training. I would like advise from anyone who can tell me how to get them refund my money.

The Dalbey Institute is Great! I bought the books and cds and the dvd and read all their online articles and said to myself I am going to be the best in the business! and a few months later I closed my first deal for 1560.00! But the other broker who I thought was a buyer made even more! He made a whopping 11,500! and it was only a 90,000 note with a pretty good loan to value ratio. I read the books and re-read the books and it is PACKED with awesome info that I missed the first time. Any one who complains and says that the system doesn't work just doesn't believe in them selves and thinks they're the victims! No, your self esteem is the victim. Do not say that it doesn't work. Look in the mirror and say: I don't work you need to understand the whole process and how to do an outstanding job at it. Then you'll make money. It's worth the hard work. Are you up for it?

My husband lost his job and saw this infomercial on TV and thought he would give it a try for the small investment of $39.95 on 6/30/08. When he called to order the information we got a sales pitch and he ended up spending $395.00. Now he has purchased the Protege program for an additional $3400. I find it strange that as I read the complaints about this company how the prices change so drastically for the products offered. Now they want us to purchase the Master Millionaires program for an additional $4600. I managed to talk him out of it. I am going to request a full refund of our money and if we can't get it back, then I will file a lawsuit against the company.

I bought the program in 2005 and I have not earned anything. All notes are either rejected or somehow sabotaged with wrong information. I am actively looking for a class action to come out of this. anyone who knows anything or finds a class action suite is in the works please post it in this blog.There aren't many sites discussing this scam and he needs to be taken down, one way or another. They even have ways of contacting the sellers even if you don't provide tell all information. everyone here has been preyed on and he's still on tv,3:30 this morning. He's gotta go!

Purchased the program in 2005 for $395.00. Needed to make extra money for medical reasons. The program was full of charts and figures but not vey clear as to how to start except for a few suggestions. Was contacted by severak of his employees ewgarding a website , which was supposed tobe free. The cost was for the information that was to appear on it. His right hand man "Andrew", forgot his last name called me with the exiting news that Russ was offering a very special program, "The Protege Program". Supposedly intended to help people like me. It cost me $1,200 which I put in a credit card. Russ bombarded me withe-mails on a daily basis which was to teach me the program. Tha was when I realized the mistake I had made. Asked for my money back and never got an answer. To date, I still receive his invitations to go and spend time in his office and give me notes worth $5,000.+ for free. Please let me know if there is a class action suit against him. I will join in a heart beat.

i also got ripped off by this company. I paid $39.95 for the basic program. Then like a sucker, I purchase the website, newsletters, and Protege training. I have not received any money on my investment and I have spent over $4,000. Anyone interested in purchasing this Scam beware. This company should be made to pay.

This takes way more time and money than RD promises. All his information and business guide can be found for free on the internet. RD and others like him are trying to monopolize the market and get rich on your hard work and marketing. His infomercial is very misleading to the point of lies. Be wary.

I am ashamed to admit to all of you that I was ripped off $6000 by this bulls..t company. Does anybody know if there are any class action suits regarding this scam? Not 1 of his promises ever spanned out. I was supposed to be assigned a "MENTOR" and NEVER heard from anybody. Now they are saying that it's too late to get any type of help and are trying to get another $3000 from me to "RESTART" the program. If anyone else was ripped off from this company and would like to start some type of lawsuit, feel free to contact me at my email address listed below!!

My story is exactly the same experience of Joshua on 3/5. I just want my money back! I too have $5000 invested in this and realized it was not for me but they only wanted to sell me more stuff. They care nothing for the fact that I am an unsatisfied customer. If there is any avenue out there to get my money back please let me know as well. Thanks.

I was reeled into this scam of a note business by a mailing. I purchased the 3 books known as the steps to making money for $199. After reading them and receiving loads of emails about moving faster in the business I called. I spoke to one of the reps who pressured me into the Executive Fast Track and the Protege Program for $6000. I flew to Colorado for the weekend class which was mediocre at best. We received a $125 gift card to jump start our business which amounted to ordering business cards and a few other items. I didn't feel confident in getting this business off the ground after that weekend. The protege course had some good information but not enough to give you the confidence or the tools to get your business going without help. When you call for help you don't speak to a professional, just people they hired who read from some question and response manual. I have yet to get a note deal since doing this program some 9 months ago. I spent and an extra $3000 for mailings, ads, printing cost, etc. The one potential note deal I could have cashed in on may have been sabotaged since I listed it on the Dalbey network. My seller told me that he had been getting calls from other finders since he had contacted me initially. I wondered how that happened since he contacted me first. No one from the institute calls to see how you're doing or to give advice. All I get is email promoting another way to get a jump start and of course to pay more money for it. I sent an email in response to one of those emails to offer one of those chances for free....of course I never heard anything. I kept in contact with another student who took the same program and he did do a few deals for small amounts of money. Nothing near the amount of the $12,000 he paid for the Fast track and Boot camp programs. Also I wonder how many people closed 10 note deals in a year and got their money back. I feel scammed and disappointed in this program. I'd like to find out how to recoup some of my hard earned money from the Dalbey network. I'm sure there are a few of my fellow students who feel the same way.

I bought the Winning in the cash flow business after watching an infomercial. Like everyone else Irecieved an upgrade call. I didn't have thousands of dollars and no credit cards so He let me in his "protege program" for 700 dollars on a "scholarship" payabale in monthly payments. I didn't have time to really search out the note process because it was to time demanding. I told the dirty buggers that I wanted my money back after they took another payment and they we're quite rude. They told me they would not refund the money but that theywould call the account paid in full. What a dirty rotten sob. I want all my money back if there is a class action suit I wanna be in. After reading othere testimonials though I feel fortunate to hasve gotten away with so little damage.

I just want my money back. I spent too much money on this program and the money-back guarantee had expired before I could really test this program. They gave me too much information all at once and kept telling me to keep up with it while at the same time telling me to go at my own pace. I couldn't keep up. I wish I had never bought the program. I haven't seen a satisfaction guarantee yet. I'm not satisfied and they haven't done anything to insure my satisfaction. Usually they just want to charge me more money for more programs and workshops. I've spent almost $5000 for their "help." I tried it and I don't like it. If there's any way I can get my money back, please let me know.

I purchased the product with the 30-day trial. I do not want the product and I was refused a refund. The "Customer Service Team" is rude, short, and quite annoying. I have pleaded repeatedly over the past year to stop e-mailing and attempting to contact me and I still am repeatedly flooded with unwanted e-mails. Don't try to call them, they do not respond or reply.

As many have said this is the worst money making deal ever and if you do find a note, they ask for the note holders name and info so they can just take the note holder for themselfs. I have put in 1 hour or more per day to find note holders and none of their teaching really works and if i did find one they would just take it for themselfs. Why would they do that i don't know. We are not as stupid as they think we are. Well if anyone is filing a lawsuit count me in...i have put time and money into this and waisted it away just to get him richer. All his classes call for 1500 or more when you call about his deals that he sends you on our email. Plz ppl we must put a stop to this scam. He has done this to so many others. thanks for listening.....
