Winning the Property Wars with Doug Hopkins-Seminar Disgrace
2-3 weeks ago i attended a Free Seminar- Winning the property wars with doug hopkins (he wasn't there). Im so Eager to start a Career in Real Estate investing so i thought there was no loss in coming. I would give it a shot. After they promised me the whole world and that i would become a very successful real estate investor they convinced me to purchase the 3-day Real Estate Accelarator workshop for $2,000 where i will be taught to flip homes, and they also made purchasing tax liens seem very very lucrative through there "tax liens buyers club" so i gave into there bait and that was $997. i attended the 3 day seminar and I'm extremely disappointed. First two days were about raising your credit card limits and how successful our coach was and that if we didn't purchase the 42k program we would be losers in life in the world of real estate. Has anybody gone to the workshop and been able to get your $2000 refund? In my opinion it was a waste of my time and money. So upset at myself for falling for this stupid $3,000 trap just to pitch us another sale...Has anybody been able to successfully get a refund past the "3day no questions asked" policy??? Any opinion on how to pressure them to give me refund??

Doug, if you really want to help a former student, I suggest you can best help Daniel by arranging to refund the $3000 he was coerced into spending at your conference that you were too busy to actually attend yourself. Daniel has posted here asking for help in getting his money back. Fortunately for him, the man whose name (and reputation) is on the conference is reading this thread and saying he wants to help students of the Doug Hopkins Seminars. If you are a man of your word, Doug, I ask that you be a stand up guy and refund Daniel his money.
