I used to work there for a short while, I got the job from a temp agency. This company is a total scam. For those of you who have lost money, Have your credit card company dispute the charges. The Dalbey Educational Institute will dispute the charge back but keep at it--you will get money back. Good Luck.

If you're reading these reviews, then you have questions and doubts about this. I only wish that I had known about this website earlier. My husband and I were "suckered" into this scam by some fast-talking people at the Russ Dalbey firm. Our advice is: DON'T DO THIS!!!! Don't believe anything they tell you--nothing. We attended the 3-day boot camp just recently--June 13 - 15. On the second day of the "class"????? we simply asked to speak to someone about the way things were going and before we knew it a shuttle was waiting out front for us, we were informed that we would be checked out of the hotel immediately and they would be so "kind" as to change our flight reservations and get us out of there immediately (so we couldn't converse with the other students). We were extremely unhappy with our experience and would advise anyone thinking about doing this -- DON'T!!!!! The only people making money on this are Russ Dalbey and his group. Have a blessed day and be thankful you found out what a scam this is before it was too late!!!

These guys are real scam artists. My dad who is 85 ordered the $39 introduction material from Russ Dalbey. After that these people started hounding him everyday and one of them named Josh called him and asked him if he understood all the material but while he was talking to him he asked him if he thought a education program would be of help and of course my dad said yes. He never authorized any kind of payment but on his next credit card statement he had been charged $10,000. My dad is hard of hearing and of course at 85 he does not understand or know how to use a computer so he had no idea of what they were doing. I had him notify the credit card company to dispute the charge but I am wondering if I should notify DFACS to report them for senior citizen abuse since he is clearly not able to understand all of this.

I was home on disability and heard about the Russ Dalbey program, ordered the materials for $40 then the calls started coming. Week after week after week trying to get me to get involved with some group that they try to make you believe that you were selected out of hundreds of people to get into the training group. Then I told the lady on the phone that I wasn't purchasing anything so if she was trying to sell me something then we could end the call and she says oh no this is a once in a lifetime offer just for you at whatever you can give us.

So then she transfers me to another guy who was so rude it didn't even make any sense because he was mad that I told him, I told the lady before transferring me to him that I wasn't purchasing anything from them and he got hysterical telling me I wasted their time on the phone then said oh well you don't have to pay today, we will just deduct it from your first closing and I said how will you deduct if from my first closing and he said oh well we have your credit card on file from when you ordered the materials and we can just go ahead right now and put a hold on your card for the amount and when you close on your first closing you will get your money back.

I said NO, you will not use my card for anything, I am not giving you authorization to take anything from my card and I'm not purchasing anything else from you all. Now every week another Russ Dalbey person is calling trying to get me into the same thing and I tell them look just like I told the last person to call me I'M NOT PURCHASING ANYTHING FROM YOU ALL AT ALL! I found it odd that they all of sudden calling for you to purchase more products and not just for $40. So I left it alone.

Hello I was a victim of Russ Dalbey. They only want to scam you from your hard earn money and they don't care. Is there any one that could make him stop? His staff cheated me out of 400.00 because I was going to get a coach that would help me find notes and he was going to also help step by step. He only helped themselves to my money. I found out that he is being investigated by attorney general of Colorado. If you want for this to be stopped then let's join together so we could get this man stopped. So if you were scammed e-mail the attorney general for Colorado, don't be afraid be heard if you were scammed don't let him get away with it. Please send this man an e-mail to stop Russ Dalbey.

My Son In Law purchased the Russ Dalbey product in the hopes of making some money for his wife and new baby son. The product came in and his asked me to look it over. The first thing that stands out is the fact that YOU MUST have a broker dealer lic in order to sell notes, mortgages etc. It is illegal in all 50 states to sell notes without a broker dealer lic. Sad part is even if you were to get a lic it would still be impossible to be successful. The materials given are very vague and incomplete at best, and it does not explain anything. The "Support Line" is useless, and than the sales calls start. These crooks start calling you five times a day trying to sell you a dream. A dream that costs up to $10,000.00. They push and bully you into buying their sales program. Bottom line is this is a SCAM! My son in law was one of the lucky ones, only having lost $50.00. Which by the way he never got back. Russ Dalbey is a con artist who someday will be caught as a fraud in put in prison where he belongs. Don't waste you hard earned money on this crap.

A friend and I went to the Russ Dalbey seminar and I will tell you....they put on quite a show! For $3,000 we got everything (almost). It was another $10,000 for the website they build for you and my friend went for it. It was supposedly turn-key...Turn-key without the website...the website would maximize profits. They also supposedly gave you books full of "priceless" contacts that would work to get you funded... LIES and more LIES. The so-called experts were rude and condescending. NONE of them wanted to help and in fact they treated you like you were bothering them. I have over 30 years of sales experience, so if I cannot make this work no one can unless, of course, you are a con-artist too! This is a pretty slick one but KEEP your money! Why do you think they no longer have seminars in the US?? If they do, they are staying away from the places they previously had them... people would probably try to have them arrested. CON-artists every one of them and yes, there is a special place in hell for folks like this.

Signed up for the Russ Dalbey information packet, was hassled nearly every day with high pressure sales to do additional training for high fees. I live in the city in which the classes are held but yet they still are "required" to charge me for hotel stays.
