princeton review scam....just know!!!

UAG med students know that Mr. ***** ***** is running a scam in Guadalajara. He is taking advantage of the medical students. Last I heard a few months ago he was still running the Princeton office in Guadalajara. How do I know? I was one of the victims. I reported the situation with the Princeton Corporate office in NY and they said they were going to investigate. During the 1st phone call they told me that they were going to give me my $ money back. To make a looong story short, now Princeton (USA) doesn't want to take responsbility and that's when they said that Mr. ***** is running a scam and now they won't give me my money back. ***** ***** was reviewing my case (she in charge of the international franchises or something like that)
Before I signed up for the course I called Princeton in the US they assured me that Mr. ***** was part of the Princeton organization and that the franchise he had in GDL was legit. After I talked to Princeton I decided to sign up for the Step 1 review and paid....what a mistake!!!
I notified UAG, Better Business Bureau, US Embassy in GDL, I emailed at least 100 students, I also notified PROFECO in Mexico. UAG never gave me a repply....BBB tried to resolve the case with Princeton but Princeton ignored BBB's request to try to come up with a solution. The US Embassy repplied saying that they can't do anything about it because they are not a law enforcement agency but that they were going to pass that info to the legal office in GDL.
Next step is to take Mr. ***** to court but he vanished, I'm sure he still is in GDL so med students....be careful!!!
Good luck with your studies!!!! Keep up the good work!!!!

still waiting....

I'm still waiting for my money. I can tell you this...this all true, that's why I wrote the name of the person (C.L.) who is taking advantage of many students in GDL but the name was modified with *'s. The guy owes more than 10k to one of the teachers and she is also trying to get her money back. This is for real, that's why I am spreading the word. I lost hope of getting my money back but I can spread the word and prevent students from taking the course. You can pm me if you would like to know more details about this guy so you don't become his next victim.
Please, spread the word!!!!!

Well if you find out his name tell me or I can just give you the telephone of a great attorney from GDL. He is one of teh best attorneys in Jalisco and Mexico when it comes to penal laws. And of course he has a lot of "contacts" within the Jalisco Judicial system. He has represented very interested and well known personalities from Jalisco and Mexico.

Good Luck!
