I went to a free 3 day seminar and was sold on getting into real estate. I was promised I would make 20,000 in 90 days with one deal and after that I could make 5 deals a week (earning a min. of 20K each deal). I was told that it would be okay if my husband doesn't want to be a part of this. My total due was 36,000. I paid 10,000 down. I have since learned that I cannot attend classes without my husband and that all classes were out of state. I can't afford to go anyway.

This started the first week of Aug. All I get is being hounded for more money to pay them -they charged my credit card 10,000 for software that I never received and one on one training with I have not received. Still I have not made one penny. This is the biggest scam I have ever seen! They use the fact that they are Mormon, God and helping people and giving back and I fell prey! After a lifetime of perfect credit - I am now filing bankruptcy. I have been turned down for 2 job opportunities because of my credit thanks to EWI.

At a free seminar we were talked into cashing out our 401k and buyout to pay for classes that we were told would make us millioners within a year. We had just lost our jobs of 32 years. R. Allen and the Enlightened Wealth Institute team put on a very good show to get you to spend all your money or max out your credit cards with promisses of a great way to make money helping other people and providing for your own family. We went to 4 classes and were not able to finish the last 3 because they were out of state and we ran out of money.

We were not able to buy any houses with no money down or no credit like they teach. No one in any of the classes had been able to either. They said we did not need a job or money to buy a house. They only teach you how to cheat someone out of their home. They turned us over to collections for the rest of the classes.

We are still unemployed, we wasted our buyout and 401k on worthless classes and have received an eviction notice. EWI says they give back to help people after they make their millions. But they make their millions by cheating poor people who are desparate to feed their family and want an honest job. If they gave back, they would not send us to collections and further ruin our credit, when we run out of money for their over priced worthless classes.

If they were honest they would just cancel the rest of the classes when we were unable to pay more. R. Allen preaches God and giving back to the poor to get you to trust him, so he can rip you off for every cent he can. We no longer have a retirement account. We are being evicted because we can't pay our rent. Our car and truck were repossed. We spent almost 20,000 for classes that were supposed to provide us with means to support our family.
