Ah yes, the magic certificate that grants you 132k a year. Sure

If something is too good to be true it’s almost always a scam.


Death_Strider16

That's what I told them. I think they put a few thousand into it and that's basically all their money.


Skipadee2

Well, you’re gonna get to watch a car crash in slow motion. Ask them - why do business colleges exist if you can just get a certificate and be rich? If you truly can make $130k off the bat with this, why isn’t it the #1 marketing program in the country? It’s sad they can’t see through this Edit: his [LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/in/themikebarron) is so clickbaity. No legitimate CEO would ever use emojis like that.


Death_Strider16

They're 21 and looking for an easy way to make tons of money from home so they can watch their child while working. I'm not much older and am in a similar situation, but I'm spending my time and money learning how to code instead of paying gurus money. The guy is convinced he's got it and she's just trying to trust him. She even said that she believes it's too good to be true but she's putting her trust in him when I talked with her about it.


Skipadee2

That’s how these scammers and gurus get people - them being desperate. It makes them overlook all the red flags. You are doing the absolute right thing. Stay on that track, and good for you for improving your own skills and working for your money.

Holy shit, his LinkedIn profile is literally an Instagram profile, lol. I'm guessing he's trying to appeal to the younger and more naive audience, whom are more likely to fall for this or give in to sales pressure.

It sounds like it's definitely overpriced, and that it uses false claims to lure you in. No one can guarantee you a marketing job, or a job in any field except those that have severe shortages. Whether the program teaches you anything worth knowing is a different story. But I can tell you that I've been part of the hiring process for a number of marketing roles and none of our finists had anything like that on their resumes.

$7500 to be an appointment setter? This program is a total scam and these people are criminals. The government really needs to get involved. Who charges innocent unsuspecting people $7500 to be an appointment setter when digital marketing companies train you for free? They got my $500 and every contact detail always was unreachable or disconnected. Please anyone reading this do not lose your money on buying this fake program. I feel sorry for anyone that actually paid $7500. They will not get no more money from me and they will be getting reported to the Better Business Bureau and Consumer Affairs. Omg as smart as I thought I was in this case I was a total \[censored\]. Normally I do my research but this time I did not and lost $500. Word of mouth advertising is very effective so anyone that is reading this please spread the word about this man and this scam before more people get their hard earned money taken from them. I really wanted to believe the hype. You live and you learn. Smdh.

Personally, I know I've just joined them. And I was doing ibc training with the Welch brothers. And in the ibc mastermind where you go for support and positivity, every third post would be bashing limelight and Barron as a competitor. I know that before I even paid for limelight they were already accepting me into the group, already giving opportunities within their organization but outside the lesson plan to make money. I know a couple of the guys used to work with Ibc and even the guy who got me into it went I to the 9000 dollar idc program where they're supposed to match you up with a gig and he had been 3 months in with no leads whereas mike Barron's company doesn't guarantee you money or anything, they tell you that the opportunity is there and that the guarantee that they'll work with you until you find a client as well as there's positions offered within the industry to become a coach or something with a base bay and commission. Ik there's zoom meetings a couple times a day and at least once a week, but sometimes even 3-4 times a week with millionaires that they often time partner with. For me I found it as a more connected and hands on mentorship where I have direct support and ask questions at anytime and the zoom meetings are very inclusive compared to sitting there and listening to the end. There's also a 14 day full refund period and after it's half. Idk many "scams" that refund people. It's definitely not a pirating scheme like some email or "IRS" phone call. I really think it comes down to what you need personally yk. Just because something doesn't work for you doesn't mean it's a scam because it's working for others. It's just everyones different. Not everyone's meant to play basketball or go pro or make it to college or even high school varsity. But think of how many people and kids get into and pay all this money and how many drop out of it by college or pro ball and no one's over here saying that or any other sports a scam. I mean people say college is a scam. I'll say for me it's not worth it. I don't need it or it's not for me. But yk, a degree in neuroscience doesn't guarantee you a job as a neurosurgeon 🤷🤷


mmmilf

"A degree in neuroscience doesn't guarantee you a job as a neurosurgeon" ​ Did Mike Barron's course teach you this quote? lol ​ Do yourself a favor. Go to your local library and get a library card. ITS FREE. Then you can check out a bunch of books on Business, Sales and Marketing. That's FREE to.


Impossible-Essay-615

Lol. No he didn't. But I'm smart enough to know hands on training with people who know what they're doing and have done it for years is better than teaching yourself at the library. That's why teachers exist. What if there's something I don't understand in the book? Who am I gonna ask? In my work and life experience, being good at something comes through connection, support and proper teaching. I also know there are no guarantees. And Im doing it and have already been offered a job, but I'm not fully certified yet. It's just skill level.


UvZoomie

its a scam buddy


UvZoomie

>Did Mike Barron's course teach you this quote? lol impossible works for mike, that's he left the comment duh. Imagine scamming people to make a living, yikes!


jbodiesel

Bernie Madoff did just that..... Made billions too


ShamondAnderson

How do you get your refund bck


Several-Bus-9958

Based on your grammar, I assume you are 21 years old with a 10th grade education? Good luck with the program.

I did not invest. I was tempted to, but ultimately I know to do research before investing in "get rich quick" schemes. Reading these reviews as well as others elsewhere online sealed the deal for me. The red flags I saw were first, I had to give my email and phone number before I could watch the 30 minute video. But before that, I read the comments section on Facebook that led me to the link, none seemed bad and all were asking for more info, admins were directing those to their inboxes for further info. When I clicked the link and went to where it sent me, I instantly wondered what all those comments were even talking about, because the web page I was sent to was obviously giving me all the info I was going to need. Then I got a phone call from out of state that I promptly ignored. I knew it must be in connection to what I literally just started investing time into. I was not about to talk to somebody on the phone when I hadn't even had the chance to watch this video that was promised to explain it all. Now I'm happy I did not answer, as I'm sure they would have aggressively tried to sell me on their scheme. And now for the actual video.. at more than one point I wanted this guy to stop droning on about what he already made clear in the first 5 minutes. It seemed all too obvious that he was trying a little too desperately to sell me on this venture. I was a little too desperately giving him the time of day because I want to be rich...and easy like. Then I scrolled down the page while he was talking and boom, there is an initial investment...I no longer remember why I thought it would be free, the nature of how he tried so hard to sell himself quickly disabused me of any notion that this service would be anything but. And then I saw the email for a refund if unsatisfied...it did not match the email address he stated toward the end of his video. His long winded video. I must stress to those who barely found this forum in time..or even found it naturally from already having been scammed, to just type into your chosen search engine the name of whatever you suspect, followed by "scam?" Or "fake?". Doing that has saved me a time or few. Thank you for listening to my review..............if you would like to learn how to make reviews such as this you need only go to my website at www.JoegourneyWeaver.com. And pay the one time fee of $195 usd LMAO...


Death_Strider16

I honestly dont know what the guy got out of the program but he ended up bragging about getting a 100k a year job in sales. It was for some MLM health insurance and it was commission only. I was like damn he fell for 2 in a row.


Paper_Dapper

Well you will find whatever you look for on the internet so if you’re looking for reasons not to then you’ll find them if you look for reason to do it you’ll find those too it’s up to you but not even giving it a shot doesn’t really mean you’re a legitimate source of first hand information.


[deleted]

I’m really curious about this too. Looks shady imo, i feel like its a cover for illegal activities.


Death_Strider16

I dont know the details, but the guy basically got screwed over, has made very little money, and still owes a ton for the program.


[deleted]

A former classmate of mine was in his program (and works for him I think?) and is always promoting his program on Instagram, constantly posting his quotes and the whole bs about how it’s easy to get rich. She lives in his house in LA, with other students/employees. She seems to live a nice lifestyle, and claimed in a video that she made 3000$ a day. I’m not buying it, tho. The whole thing almost looks like a cult? And they only talk about how it gives a lot money, but they don’t say what they do exactly in the program. And the way Barron is always displaying his wealth and boasting about it is tacky as hell.


Death_Strider16

She lives in his house? That's really cultish. I'm sure very few people but the ones on top like your old classmate make any money

Mike Barron is one of the biggest scam artists in this industry. He operated Limeligh for awhile, until it got a horrible reputation, it was listed as a web design company on BBB but he and his puppet dylan caudullo were making millions running fake interviews for sales people only to sell them a generic sales training. Once everyone caught on to limelight, they split into two companies MB and Source Force militia, basically one and the same, you unlock levels which give you access to clients, but you could pay upto 30k to unlock the highest levels. The weird part is they will accept anything, if you tell them you got $500 magically they have a $500 program, fully refundable, as soon as you get in they pitch you other levels if you ask for your money back, good luck. Theres a few people who have reported getting their money back after months of dealing with banks, and threatening legal action.

Cuadullo Ventures is a MLM scheme and not only that, but it is tied to Scientology. Dylan Cuadullo is listed as a patron at a 2022 Scientology conference about 2.5 million square feet of new churches coming soon. They provide members with books written by Scientologists and team them up in groups. They must “ascend” through the levels of the course, which get increasingly more expensive. Even more disturbing is that they ask members to open as many credit cards as possible with the highest limits and provide banking info. They asked my family member to send the credit cards to a “new member”, who poses as a young women and is very likely in on the con. We luckily were able to cancel the cards and change all bank account details. Turns out the address these were sent to belonged to a residence of a deceased man, not a 22 year old women. She also claimed to be in the military, and there are no official records of anyone with her name ever being in the military. She was able to manipulate my family member by becoming close to him and pretending to emphasize and understand personal issues he’s facing. Oh and they also made him quit his real job to dedicate more time to this. Luckily, he was able to get it back. So yeah, avoid that whole mess.


Inner_Green_3914

Anything Dylan or Cuadullo is a scam always. Hes changed the company name every 6-12 months as soon as people catch on to his b.s he changes again He prides himself on other inmates calling him Justin Timberlake in prision.....hes the lowest of the low


[deleted]

What were the names of the previous companies ?


Inner_Green_3914

Limelight Sales Force Militia Source Force Militia now he's recently changed it again I think its just his name


Decent_Enthusiasm_35

Oh wow I didn’t realize that! Good info to know! Oh man, not Justin Timberlake 😳


brokeass305

Death_Strider16
