Not delivering what was promised. Lies and Fals promises
By: Jul 18, 2019Brian gets people to sign up for a $3000 course by playing on their fears, insecurities and vulnerabilities. He guarantees a profitable business at the end of 8 weeks and promises to "leave no man behind". His "live" masterclasses are actually pre-recorded and he claims to have a 96% success rate. All lies! By the end of the course less than 44% of people completed and the ones that were successful is closer to 5%. He has a money back guarantee, IF you complete the accountability document, and then you find out that the document is actually rigged and cannot be completed, even if you finish all the items. Aside from the lies and false promises he makes to get people to sign up , the course content is a joke and nothing even remotely close to business training or education. He teaches you to vlog, spam your family and friends and actually makes you break the law by using tools to get fake likes & followers on your SM accounts. This dude is a scam artist of note. He does not care what he takes from who, or who he harms in the process. Stay far away.

Not delivering what was promised. Lies and False promises
By: Jul 18, 2019Brian Rose gets you to sign up for his course by playing on your fears, insecurities and vulnerabilities. He tells you how he guarantees a profitable business by the end of 8 weeks. He promises to not leave anyone behind and he claims a 96% success rate. All lies. By the end of the course less than 44% of students completed and of those who did perhaps maybe 5% could be considered successful. He has a money back guarantee if you complete the accountability document, and then you find out the document is rigged and cannot be completed. He breaks laws by making you scam people and use tools that can get your SM accounts blocked. This dude is a con artist of note. Stay far away.

London Real Business Accelerator BRIAN ROSE SCAM - FRAUD; Do NOT believe the Money Back Guarantee!!!
By: Jun 17, 2019"Pulled the Trigger" for a web marketing program. Completed 100% of the work assigned. To succeed, you must SPAM, violate European GDPR laws and get your family to buy from you. I tried several times to get money back within 60 days of class and NO REPLY until the 60 days had lapsed then they told me it was too late. You will not have proof of sending your request as you must do it from THEIR Google doc so there's no trail to submit to your credit card company. Also, they said class ended on a date earlier than was told to us. Of his own accord via a full length documentary, he's a drug addict who cons well known people to come on his show. Had these well known people not come on his show and especially, that the 60 day No QUESTIONS ASKED, No Man LEFT Behind MONEY BACK GUARANTEE was worthless, I wouldn't have subscribed. American Express can't help because I don't have the proof of sending them the Money Back Guarantee from them prior to the 60 days - I sent that at least 3x. No reply except to state - too late!

I'm an educated, professional who was lied to and ripped off by BRIAN ROSE's LONDON REAL BUSINESS ACCELERATOR program for $3565. Stay away from this and his other programs who from what I've read by others are the same type of SCAM/FRAUD job.-

London Real is a LIAR DO NOT BELIEVE ANY MONEY BACK PROMISES
By: Mar 05, 2019I took this course in the summer of last year 2018. When I bought into the course I was under the impression that I would get a risk free 60 day money back guaranteed. So I thought "hey, lets give it a try" "got nothing to lose". HOW WRONG WAS I. It was a complete nightmare. NO REFUNDS EVEN IF YOU COMPLETED EVERYTHING AND WITHIN 60DAYS (THEY WILL LITERALLY IGNORE YOU). Very little business sense, technical help and ghetto. made NO MONEY and I still get threats to this day! I know many families including myself who CANT afford to lose 3K on this nonsense. STAY AWAY

Brought the business accelerator course which was massively missold .
By: Mar 04, 2019The course was hugely basic and did not give the access it claimed. The course leaders were inexperienced and basically people from the course previously. One section was called kick start you social media -that entailed setting up 5 social media accounts and breaking GDPR laws by spamming friends and family to get followers. That describes the course in a nutshell. Horrendous experience.

Dishonest and unwilling to honor money back guarantee
By: Feb 22, 2019It pains me to have to write this follow up review, but I feel it is entirely necessary for any prospective London Real student to fully understand what to expect from a London Real Academy course. The above review, as detailed below, was left in order to reach 100% accountability on the course document and is no longer an accurate reflection of my experience on the course; however, Facebook is not allowing a second review to be posted. The revised review is very long and will be left in a series of multiple comments.

The substantive content of Broadcast Yourself was unnecessarily stretched to cover eight weeks when it could have been covered in only two weeks. In no way, shape or form did this course deliver $2997 worth of content. I am left with the realization that this course was nearly all hype and contained very little useful, unique information. The motivational tone and content delivered in the live calls was nothing more than a continuation of the free “masterclass” content except it was no longer free. We were supposed to cover the entire “funnel” (podcast, email, website, product) in this class as Brian Rose drew on a flip pad during the free “masterclass” and we stopped way short of that.
In terms of the podcast, the technology platforms recommended, especially ShoutEngine, were subpar and by no means industry standard. The host frequently fails to work and there is no customer service or tech support to draw upon. Our team leaders in our final call even went so far as to suggest that ShoutEngine may shut down causing us to lose all eight of our episodes to date. Also, there was little to no information disseminated about microphone and camera technology - I ended up resorting to free content online to answer many of the questions this course left unanswered.
In terms of email, I never expected Brian Rose and the London Real team to advocate and teach GDPR violating practices causing many of us to have our MailChimp accounts permanently revoked and our domains blacklisted to the spam folder. As Brian Rose likes to say, I overcame my “resistance” and did as I was told and culled all of my contacts gained over many years of hard work to develop a network of true connections despite an ethical objection to doing such a thing - I did this to reach 100% completion as evidenced by the accountability document and independent verification by my team leader Virginia Czarnocki who certified it as such in an email to “Maria” before the course end date and time of 11:59 p.m., London on Sunday, February 3, 2019.
In terms of a website, absolutely no information was given about developing a website presence for our podcast. There was no mention of landing pages, show notes, email opt ins - nothing! I found myself having to do countless hours of research to find websites I could model and attempt to reverse engineer the best practices we were promised to receive during the course.
In terms of creating a product, we were given a single “bonus” module from London Real’s Business Accelerator course which just so happened to coincide with an aggressive marketing push by Brian Rose to transition students into the Business Accelerator course that was starting when the Broadcast Yourself course ended. Coincidence? I don’t think so. Brian Rose even went so far as to send in a “coach” or representative to attempt to upsell us to enroll in the Business Accelerator in our last call. Instead, we were encouraged to create a low dollar, scammy guru marketing pdf with the suggested title format of “How to ____ in 6 Easy Steps” with a price of $27 (using 7 in a price is a known psychological trick known to be utilized by scammy guru marketers - now it makes sense while all London Real courses have a 7 in their prices ($2997, $4997, $9997)). I fell for the Broadcast Yourself scam and I’m sure as hell not going to replicate a spammy digital product to lure in my audience that I’m working diligently to build trust with. To add insult to injury, the information given in this module was what Brian Rose delivers in his free “masterclass” - I would have NEVER paid $2997 for information available for free before the course start.
Promises in the masterclass of learning how to monetize my podcast and transition episodes to YouTube are what ultimately led me to “pull the trigger” (Brian Rose’s classic social pressure tactic) and pay $2997 outright. The “fast action” bonuses that were promised on the call for those like me who “paid in full” were given to everyone. Not only was this a let down, I would have otherwise made multiple payments of $297, Brian Rose’s team never responded to the feedback I provided on this matter in my course evaluations and in multiple messages within the live call chat feeds.
As a bonus add on to the accountability document, Brian Rose and the London Real team incentivized students to create a review video on YouTube and embed it in a written article on Medium.com. Brian Rose made the promise during a recorded live call that the first 10 people who completed the review and linked to it on the accountability document would have their review promoted. Christina Castaneda, a team leader, tagged 10 students in the closed Broadcast Yourself Facebook group asking for our Twitter handles. I watched Twitter over the next days and week to see when my review would be published that mentioned my Twitter handle linked to the podcast (provided to Christina Castaneda) and the link to my Medium.com review and it never happened despite urging by community manager David Williams that it would indeed be posted. I followed up with David Williams and Christina Castaneda multiple times in the closed Facebook group and personally in Messenger private messages and all that ever was mentioned on Twitter was a misspelling of my name “Colette Bayer”, no link to my review and no mention of my Twitter handle used to promote the podcast. That empty promise was the last straw for me. I gave Brian Rose and the London Real team the benefit of the doubt and waited to see when the review would be posted and when we would receive our “fast action” restricted bonuses on monetizing our content and transitioning the podcast to YouTube and they never came. Instead, my concerns have not been answered and I have been told I would receive word in 3 business days as to the status of my refund.
On another note, regarding the refund language, nowhere on LondonReal.tv or Academy.LondonReal.tv is there a page on terms and conditions that spell out how a student is eligible for a refund and what criteria they must meet. I even went so far to go back on Archive.org to view the page as it was when I purchased in early November and it was also nowhere to be found. There is no background colored font hyperlinked on the page, a Google search of the site index “site:londonreal.tv” and “site:academy.londonreal.tv” yields no mention of the word refund or a terms and conditions page. The “Refund Request” form, which many students never received even after writing [email protected] to initiate a refund request is a Google document accessed by visiting a redirect link londonreal.tv/rr - this is the epitome of scammy marketing guru tactics! The refund “terms and conditions” link listed on the Google document links back to the academy.londonreal.tv website to an unlisted URL not found anywhere on the site (as evidenced by a screen recording taken on Sunday, February 3, 2019) and which does not return in a Google search.
What we were promised I’ve now discovered is available in free or low cost (<$25) content - in no way did we receive $2997 of value. I did what I was told to do in order to overcome my “resistance” and this course did not deliver. Brian Rose made a promise that if for any reason we were not satisfied and we completed 100% of the course deliverables by the course end date (February 3, 2019) and attended all of the calls (also 100% as per Virginia Czarnocki in writing before the course deadline) we could receive our money back if a refund was initiated within 60 days for any reason. I have listed countless reasons why any student would request a refund, I am so very disappointed in London Real and Brian Rose. The false scarcity, fear tactic, upsell, scam guru marketing practices that were employed to get more than 100 students on the hook for at least $2997 (nearly $300,000 at a minimum not considering many who paid $4997 and $9997 for elite “inner circle” status) are shameful and such a disappointment. In the end, this course was full of hype and empty promises - in good faith I “pulled the trigger” and trusted Brian Rose, London Real and the 60 day money back guarantee and what I am asking for in return is the fulfillment of London Real’s promise by refunding my $2997 in full to my credit card.-

BTW, I've also served as a Dean in several accredited universities in the UK and Middle East, taught at all levels of education up to postgraduate, and been involved in many QAA and Teaching Audits, been an advisor to other UK universities and colleges, the ILEA Inspectorate in London, and served on several national committees, receiving a "Woman of the West" award for my services to lifelong learning and adult and women's education, so I'm something of a veteran in education, training and human development in different cultures, I'm not just having a rant because I didn't think a course was very good. There a serious matters of principle here that need to be addressed and Brian Rose needs to be accountable for his misleading advertising and claims that are not fulfilled. I would NEVER treat a client or student as LRA has done.

I have absolutely the same experience... I finished BA with useless half-baked product which is unprofessional and I have to actually fix all damage I've made by following Brian's process... Clean up social media, re-build the website, get rid of mailchimp... Apology to customers, because automatized e-mails do not work properly... In my opinion, B.Rose has a good deal with squarespace and mailchimp, because we had to create the website from squarespace even we had our own, I had to pay $350 for the website and $15/month for mailchimp to make it work. Even, we were told at the beginning there wouldn't be additional costs, I paid this to make it work, like Brian said many times TRUST THE PROCESS, I did trust and that was a big mistake. No successful business, lost reputation, lost money.... His BA course is definitely NOT worthy US$2997 I spent for it. Plus additional costs for website etc. I am NOT a salesperson and this course is all about sales - no matter what. No matter if your product has a quality or not - just sell it!!! I was very disappointed and wanted money back but then I find out in London Real policy says ALL SALES ARE FINAL... Yup, Brian Rose, enjoy my $2997 and have a nice day!

I've been had... Same amount, 3400$ CDN. Couldn't keep up. Business accelerator. A few weeks ago. I was getting sick! This was too much. Unnecessary stress. No support. No money back. I wish I'd looked it up, read reviews before "pulling the trigger". WE were over 300 people... Some still getting in in week 3... Crazy! I liked to watch BR interviews. That's how I got in. Even contributed close to 200$ CDN to his Freedom platform. He'll have to clean up his act. Integrity is becoming of the upmost importance in business. He's got to let go of greed or else he's doomed.
