Story like most people... Was off one day seen the informercial suggesting to attend a free seminar in New York. Of course, did some research before all and all even considering calling but they give you such a small window to call. At first was skeptical, called the number and a representative who said she worked with Armando for some time said he will be there and I did ask should i bring a check or anything?...she replied no because its free. So I show up, not to mention with my guest, they said it accommodates up to two guest with you. Did not see Armando, except a bunch of belly worm vultures eating away at our brains. It was about 20-25 guests, only maybe about 4-5 stood behind and bought the $1500 scam. Within about 5 minutes they were talking money and with 1 hour to 2 hours they were pricing and talking discounts and limited seating, along with first come first serve basis. Remember... She said NO, you do not have to bring anything! Not to mention they had a speaker who is not a veteran speak so we all could feel close to home and have a real life sorrow moment as if reality is in our face and he's making it work through Armando's plan. People did feel sorry for him and that's when they say... Well for another $500 you can get access to a tax lien website with 24/7 access. At this point I'm sick! Just graduated college, have bills like no other and not to mention children, mind you, they did ask who has children (people even brung their children there, smh). Anyways, me and my guest are trying to ask the veteran some questions about the tax lien program but he was too stuck up some lady's behind that he missed a sale but what does it matter to him? Well, congrats... You are on the team. Get home and read more reviews in depth, to only realize here.. I have been scammed. There's more money required in this even though they say within 3 months you get a return on your investment. Called my credit card company and crazy thing is they said this is a scam. At this point I am furious because I am literally poor not even joking that was my last literally last of my bill money. People are spending anywhere from an extra 20-60k+ on tour buses and other things. This "supposedly" was not required. I just hope he smarten up and realize not everyone is going to take this bullying into scamming people from their hard earned work money. This is a sad situation, I wish upon NO ONE!... Just do MORE research before doing anything, apparently I did but not in so much depth, I really did believe this was a way out! A way out of the entrapment of poverty but instead it's a way of trapping someone into debt and a heart attack! They say you form a family with them but family will not do the deceitfulness they do. THINK AGAIN, DO NOT DO THIS... IT IS A SCAM, TRUST ME I DID HOURS AND HOURS OF RESEARCH, NOT TO MENTION YOU ONLY HAVE A 2-3 DAY WINDOW TO CANCEL YOUR AGREEMENT BY MAIL TO TEXAS OR CALIFORNIA!!!!!!!!!!! If thats not ABSURD then I do not now what is! BBB does not even recognize them except for negativity and scam complaints! GOOD LUCK!!!

Update: 12/12/2013

I meant, the veteran that was working with them is a VETERAN according to him. The above line in the complaint was a typo.
