The society teaches people over how they have to direct their lives to success; if and if only the person himself/herself discovers the method to find the right direction from society. This definition might seem complicated to a lot of readers if simplified, which means that success isn’t an easy task to accomplish yet it isn’t much difficult to understand. People, unfortunately, mistook the latter part of the definition and archetype the whole foundation of the definition onto the concepts of ‘personal responsibility’. We have seen different motivational speakers constituting scam out of their conceptual and entrepreneurial startups and ideas that usually demonstrate away or aversion to “make money in no time.” These ‘entrepreneurs’ have used the concept of money and greed and combined it so smoothly forging it into another attractive feeling or a decimation that brought to them, progressive attention of people who have been focusing success conjoined with “making more money.”
Certain teachings come from different products. Such is an example of another Silicon Valley affluential, motivational speaker and a teacher to ‘success’ Alex Mehr and his’ MentorBox; a product not only having a numerous amount of business and success related books but additionally has a lot of other videos tutoring people on how to move their barrow towards the ladder of success. Wheels can never climb ladders. That is what I along with several other fools lacked at first when we came across the ad of MentorBox with Alex asking us the question of how we all have been failing our businesses. People certainly fall for advertisements. I was a live example of it.
What I got throughout the advertisements was a $7 to $9 plan with a 3 free day trial for us to test the product along with a clear indication of them delivering books to us every month. It seemed to be a low key purchase at the moment and honestly, a very great entry-level price. As I kept digging into the product and what it had to offer us, it turns out that the very “books” aren’t to be delivered to your spot. Rather certain offers were being accounted for further as we entered into the website. For me, this is nothing less than a scam to forge your product into something colossal and then unfolding newer dimensions as you get someone attracted to it. Even this ad pops and people visiting the website bring about revenue to the owners. This was nothing more than a marketing stunt at first yet the MentorBox seemed interesting which led me to move further into the system.
With initial purchases, the sales pages get more elaborative with more offers on the plate. What I eventually discovered from the tangible information presented within the sales page was that I had been paying $7-$9 for video workshops which had some lectures from some authors who have written books on leadership and success and businesses. Those lessons were, without a doubt, awful and absurd. If we judge it on the scale of teaching something specific and important regarding improving your life, these video workshops are to be dealt with the lowest grade. The content the MentorBox had to offer in the videos was gibberish with no structuring. Not only the company invited its customer with a “Free” label but also presented a completely new bill with newer rates than the expected one of few dollars. With two-step orders, the cost moved to hundreds of extra dollars. I was an enthusiast to gain more out of it. This made my overall billing cheque to exceed $190 which was completely confusing for me in every way. With just one signup and a few hours wandering over, discovering things about the site they made me pay a lot of it. This made me very clear about how ridiculous their system is.
This wasn’t the only thing that Alex Mehr had kept in his product for his customers. If some people run clear of the gibberish charges I, along with many others had to pay, they are greeted with upsells. In the funnel sequence, people come across upsells which are pretty much expensive and get stuck with it if, they accidentally get to click it with their divergent attention. We have seen a lot of scam websites using these upsells to fondue an expensive bill, in the end, to grab it out from their credit cards. Alex Mehr came up with these unethical upsells; making our point clearer of it being a complete scam. People, just like me, had to pay thousands of dollars under the name of upsells and some ‘services’ that we intended to take and under no circumstances did we get either of these services. There was nothing to the consumers who thought that clicking onto upsells would cost them hundreds of dollars.
The scam continues with its self-contemplating consumer service that they most likely regard as a very ‘responsive’ service. I was charged more than a hundred dollars of services that I had no access to and neither had I used those services to gain any knowledge. Plus the knowledge constituted in the video workshops was of no use too. With an email to the support exchange, it seemed as if they’d be responding to the complaint any time, which never came. The customer support is too lazy to even reply. Regardless of this, the clever Alex Mehr had kept no other source to connect with the support of MentorBox. These motivational speakers have nothing important to teach to the people, yet we will find extraordinary bragging of their success stories which would just be another marketing stunt in tempting people with a certain need to success. They intend to pass this concept on the minds of such people that they would always need these people in every portion of their succeeding business; hence making a one-way ticket for Alex Mehr to have his products sold under the name of teaching people the road to success.
MentorBox is a ‘business’ run by the multi-millionaire Alex under the facts of dishonesty and fraud.
How grasping the sight of getting books delivered under a $7 bill is? Yet, the sooner we visit the website, the obvious it gets. To have physical access to the books available in the MentorBox, the purchases raise to $89 per month. This comes to be a very obvious purchase that gives lucrative access to the product. Yet if we discuss how elegantly this entrepreneur has put information in is next to nothing. This $89 is what I paid for is nothing. Their consistent statement of gaining knowledge from success stories and books is a pure half-led fact that they particularly used to get a hold of a lot of foolish people in search of a breakthrough in our lives.
The purchases move further, which aren’t our doings. Yet the business with their upsell offers to blend in the system makes it difficult for a normal person to understand the basic purpose of these upsells. There have been hundreds of cases where people have reported such issues who got attention over the $7 bill and with some surfing over the MentorBox to have to pay more than a hundred dollars. It has been seen that people who only sign up on the website and without even any purchases have been billed thousands of dollars. This is the basic problem with the upsells that they have been continuously creating for their users. The clever thing within it is the hidden cost of these upsells; which is then automatically recharged without any confirmation of regard.
MentorBox came to be hurting my purchases more than enough when they used the card credentials even without letting me know. I was surrounded by a shark waiting to shred me piece by piece. The website had been setting up an environment that was making it impossible for people to understand, leaving no clue but to goof around.
These mentors who supposedly aim to ‘help’ people have such absurd ways of teaching which are evident to an observant eye. Alex Mehr came up with certain introductory videos along with his colleague in crime, Tai Lopez, who constantly have nothing but just a few exclaims of how great they or their product have been. It is horrendously difficult for them to explain the real answers that certainly would mean something for people for their businesses. With some rhetoric discussion over ‘how you can become great like us’ and workshops that supposedly had nothing good in terms of content; this is what MentorBox has to offer to customers.
With unethical upsells for the customers along with no marginalized subscriptions, these ‘motivational speakers’ are to bill your credit cards even after you are done with them. They are a bunch of crooks who only care about stealing money from the pockets of innocent people. I wouldn’t trust Alex, and neither should you.
It is a common reaction among people of reacting over any extra billing they’ve been charged with. MentorBox did nothing different than the stated obscuring. I, along with any other user who has been unethically charged over things, hadn’t even thought that Alex’s company ‘MentorBox’ is a fraud without any hesitation. With these enchanting bills, people usually contact the customer supports and people who are responsible for these billings; which are then responded and refunded accordingly, if proven innocent. I followed the procedure and went to the support center that was guided on the website. The emails were done without any mistake along with proper subjection of every small detail. It was then, the answer to the customer care that was awaited. It took me days to realize that the customer care wasn’t that caring to have a look at my email. The cancellation practice turns out to be harder than expected with negligible or no response from the owner’s side. It gets impossible to either get our subscription canceled or get our refund back. With hard luck was I able to get partial contact with the team which led to a small response of a mere “great”. It was truly an irresponsible behavior with a worth of over millions of dollars.
With no response over the emails, the company was then contacted by different methods that were possible to get access to their customer care. With my credit ruined, I desperately needed this subscription to be canceled and refunded. Yet with us getting devastated with the lucrative advertisements, the MentorBox teams felt no heed to get my emails reviewed and my calls picked.
This made me dig deeper into the system that they have been running. With a lot of reviews, I found MentorBox being treating its customers with the same irresponsible customer support which I had been treated with lately. There had been cases where people lost thousands over just getting signed up into the website. With all their money lost, they tried to get the maximum refund out. Hardly anyone got access to the support that was then paid a few dollars as ransom money to get far from their subscription. It made us clear that this website is supposedly a slaughterhouse in which a person entering would only lose.
Motivational Speakers and teachers like Alex Mehr aren’t supposedly into the system where they are to improve the lives of other people by teaching them the real reasoning and analytics involved in the business modeling and success, yet they are potentially here for their interest that drives the MentorBox. With such purpose, the car of irresponsible customer service and support is driven. With no other sources to get connected with the website support center, many people just like me are stuck into the system for no reason, making us lose almost everything that we never intended to pay for. This particularly leaves the owners dwelling with all the money they gain through such fraud and scam. This site has nothing to offer except unethical upsells, confusing subscriptions and scamming customer support.
MentorBox is a cheap scam guys, avoid them at all costs.
I signed up for the free trial. I was extremely wary when presented with all of the initial upsell options. I declined them all. I sampled the content, it was ok, but not great, lots of it created by third parties. Some interviews with desperate authors trying to sell books. Nothing you couldn’t find on a podcast. I wasn’t satisfied about the value and decided to cancel within a couple of days. Support advised me this was ok, and my account would not be charged. Then I check my credit card and find Ive been charged $81 !!! I immediately contact mentorbox support …. silence. I wait. Silence. Then I contact Alex Mehr PhD. I turns out Alex Mehr doesnt have a PhD in customer service. Its been a couple of days, no refund, no contact, and I feel like I’ve been mugged.
