Consumer Complaints & Reviews

Wow! The 10 grand sounds ooh too familiar. The weird thing was that I was reading about Prosper Inc. and the formula looked familiar. It's Bobby Allen up to his old tricks. He was running something out of Boca Raton a while back. He took 2 of my friends for $10K a piece with his multiple streams of income garbage. Here's a good one that he was running with his real estate boot camps back in 2004. Buy real estate in Detroit because the Super Bowl is coming and the prices of the real estate will go up. Super Bowls are real estate neutral unless you're selling beers, pizzas or renting out your house for a party. Bobby was running a real estate boot camp for about $10K with Glenn ** at the time.

The funny thing about his programs is that the folks who answer the phone are strictly employees and are not vested in the programs. Mr. Allen should get people who have used his programs to get rich and have them actually engage the students. You won't find any! Look at it this way, if his programs were truly

on the up and up, anyone of us should be able to find members or graduates in any major city across the US to physically speak to. If anybody asks what your credit limit is, it's a scam. If you ever have the turn done on, you run like hell. The turn is, you should be honored to work with me. Not! Give me your money and the honor is all mine.

Interview process to have someone take your money! Scam! I recently had someone interview me to see if I would be a good fit for his organization and he was accepting money. No! I don't think so. Testimonials can be bought, pictures can be bought, ads in magazines puffing up a product can be bought albeit the look like true articles, fake news broadcasts can be bought.

I was lead to believe that Prosper could show me how to make as much money as I set my goals to. Now the salesmen double-teamed me by switching one to the other and just conned me into signing, I was on the phone with them for over 3 hours. For 10 grand I did not want to sign but they convinced me I would make my investment back within 6 months. Their contract gives me no guarantee to making any amount of money. This pretty much says it all to give any company 10 grand and they do not have the confidence to guarantee their work. Prosper is a fraud, everybody that defends them has taken on their fraudulent ways. No, I was not a committed student that is why I put up 10 grand.

The only success with Prosper is learning how to scam strangers out of the money. And those that claim they succeeded give me a call at ** after 5 pm pacific. First of all, why are you even surfing the complaint boards, second why can you not help the broke failing student if you're so successful. I am here to warn people about Prosper Inc. I know what they're not telling you, believe me or not, but will all find out that is a guarantee. The mental damage is not reversible, I will not stop telling people that Prosper did me wrong. I trusted them to a tune of 10 thousand that is the highest kind of trust I have. And to have them play me for a fool learning that this is not going to work for me, yea there is damage control on this ship.

When I was contacted by Prosper Inc., they only seemed interested in how much I could pay. When I told them specifically the help I was looking for, they assured me that they had experts in the field that would help to walk me through every step in the process. After signing up, when you are speaking with your coach is the first time you find out that the coach actually knows little or nothing about what you really needed. I was informed after nearly every question I asked that I needed to hire a professional. When I pointed out that the salesperson informed me that they were the professionals, they became very rude and I was told that they can not possibly know how to do everything. This type of an answer would be okay if I had not asked before signing up for the coaching program, if this type of question would be answered. They were also unable to give answers in other areas as well and they seemed unwilling to admit that there were any answers that they should know.

Robert Allen of Prosper, Inc e-mailed me on November 19th, November 28th December 1st and 3rd 2008.He eurges me to take his 90 day challenge and promises me that if I would invest in his program I would get coaches that would take me by the hand and walk me through getting real estate property, (i.e. Foreclosures).

On November 25th after specking with Harry Belliston at Prosper He e-mailed me:

Dawn,

It was good talking to you. You see, Robert Allen is looking for people who are serious about making money. Reading his books and downloads will give you a good idea, but coaching is what will get you there. Watch the videos at this link robertgallencoaching.com

and think about what you could accomplish if you had one of his experts on your side.

Twelve months from now you will arrive somewhere, the question is where. Will you be

celebrating success...or will you be regretting the lack of it?

Most people never build the life of their dreams because they are afraid of making a mistake

or of looking foolish in front of their friends and family. We have developed proven systems that

will give you the confidence to accomplish your goals.

Call me now to see if you can qualify for this invitation only program.

Best wishes,

Harry Belliston | Program Consultant

AFTER WATCHING THE VIDEO I CALLED HARRY BELLISTON BACK A WEEK LATER AFTER CONSIDERING WHAT I LEARNT. I WAS "INTERVIEWED" BY JOSH CHRISTOPHERSON TO SE IF I WAS "QUALIFIED" FOR THE COACHING PROGRAM.

AFTER PAYING $950 FOR THE COACHING PROGRAM JOSH CHRISTOPHERSON E-MAILS ME:

Dawn,

I wanted to personally take a moment and again congratulate you on being welcomed aboard the? SUCCESS TEAM?. I want you to expect good things to happen! We feel that you are an exceptional candidate and truly look forward to helping you achieve the level of success you desire.

I would like you to begin this exciting educational journey with the following thought From me to You.

Our Deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us.

We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, talented and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of god.

Your playing small doesnt serve the world.There is nothing enlightening about shrinking so that other people wont feel insecure around you. We are born to make manifest the glory of god that is within us. It is with in us. It is not just in some of us: It is in everyone.

When we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, Our presence automatically liberates others. Nelson Mandela

Please, dont hesitate to call if you have any questions.

Sincerely Yours

In Success

Joshua K. Christopherson

Senior Executive

THEY HAVE NOT GIVEN ME A COACH. I HAVE CALLED SEVERAL TIMES COMPLAINING THAT NO ONE IS COACHING ME OR CALLING ME. THEY NEVER CALL ME BACK WHEN I HAVE QUESTIONS. I ASKED FOR A REFUND BECAUSE I WAS UNSATISFIED WITH THEIR SERVICES AND THEY FLAT-OUT REFUSED TO GIVE ME A REFUND!!! THIS COMPANY HAS DUPT ME, AND FILLED MY HEAD WITH THEIR PROMISES THEY NEVER FULLFILLED TO ME. THEY JUST LIED TO ME ABOUT THEM GIVING ME A COACH THAT WOULD TAKE ME BY THE HAND AND MAKE ME A SUCCESS STORY. THEY SAID THEY WOULD COACH ME AND WALK ME THROUGH MY FIRST FEW REAL ESTATE DEALS TO THAT I WOULD MAKE SOME MONEY.

My name is Bunny. I am a single, 61 year old therapist living in Oxnard, CA. I hold a Ph.D. in clinical Hypnotherapy.

I am filing a complaint against a company that represents itself as a financial coach for individuals and small businesses. The name of the company is Prosper, Inc. They are located at 5072 North 300 West, Provo, Utah 84604.

I invested a total of $11,920.00.00 with their company.

I have been in business for myself for over 35 years and am in good standing in my community. I hold Hall of Fame status with the Better Business Bureau of the Tri Counties and am a member in good standing with the Ventura, Oxnard and Camarillo Chambers of Commerce. I am a Paul Harris Fellow with Rotary, International and have been a Soroptomist as well as a member of many other organizations. I have been on the board of over 25 non-profits over the years.

Due to my busy schedule and community outreach, I contacted Prosper, Inc. with the specific goal of attracting potential consumers to purchase my educational CDs on my website. I really wanted to focus on and draw attention to my website which showcases my educational CDs. After I signed the contract, I noticed immediately that things werent as promised. Not only did I did not receive all the appropriate materials, I only received half of the shipment of materials and found out later, by accident, that I was missing much of my product. In addition, they sent me faulty and inferior CDs, DVD and workbooks. Some of the items had to be sent back because of the poor quality of the materials.

At that time, I told Prosper that the subject content was clearly not appropriate for my needs and 80-90% of the materials sent to me had nothing to do with the goals we spoke about. It went downhill from there.

During my numerous conversations with their staff I reiterated that selling my CDs was my highest priority. I continuously shared my specific needs and goals with Prosper and they continuously tried to put me in a cookie cutter mold that did not apply to my business or me. As I look back, I realize that, instead of addressing my agreed upon needs, they tried to make me fit into their cookie cutter program.

This is my major complaint against Prosper, Inc.; They werent honest with me regarding the promises they made and, instead, took my money and strung me along for two years. At this point, they are trying to take credit for my successes that I have worked very hard for, over the years, instead of refunding my money as I have requested. To date, I am not only out my $11,920.00 original investment but have seen absolutely no profit connected with Prosper, as promised.

The career coaching I received was inconsistent, had no continuity and the follow-up was incomplete. It was obvious that they were/are still trying to fit me into their business model. I shared with them my concern and seriously questioned if my goal was realistic with their business program. They repeatedly reassured me and promised me that if I worked with them, I would not only make my money back but went so far and to have one of the staff members, Damon Willis, promise me that I would double my money within a year or Prosper would return my investment. I questioned this and he repeated it 3 times.

The reason I am contacting you is because Prosper, Inc., stated they wanted to provide 100% customer satisfaction. It is apparent, in my case, that this did not happen. To add insult to injury they now trying to take credit for my personal successes which has nothing to do with Prosper. Presently, they are trying to manipulate the situation to their advantage by offering me further useless services instead of refunding my money as I have requested many, many times.
