I have returned item for full refund, filed a complaint with the BBB, Oregon States attorney general and PayPal and the refuse to refund money. Basically their program has no training and is garbage...see complete letter below. The owe me $350.00 Barry

 

CURRENT PROBLEMS WITH THE MAZU PROGRAM Let's start at the top of what his program offers, and make points about why your refund is justified: 1. Matt says, " We are not refunding folks that are interested in doing the business." ** You did not buy it strictly for that reason. You bought it because of the 'qualified claims' made on his sales page. You are not yet capable of running the business that Matt describes, as is no one else who starts. JUST being able to run the business is one thing. But Matt describes a business that you aren't able to run yet (no Console access for only God knows how long). So, this point of his is an attempt to 'smear' the issue at hand. And this point fails.

2. Matt says, "Upfront profits: Know what you are going to make on each trade. Before you do it." ** You cannot possibly do this for an unknown quantity of time into the future. Thus, this statement on his site is actually a misstatement [false claim by default] for probably several months to come... but he does not warn you of that.

3. Matt says, " Very short learning curve: Learn the business in just a few hours." ** Baloney. But we can let that slide. You can learn specifics in just a few hours.

4. Matt says, " This is where you come in. By effectively lending your money to the pool of available funds you are paid a upfront fee when your money enters the pool and a fee when the funds come back (usually within 24 hours)." ** Here, he confuses two things: a. 'lending your money' is the 'passive side' of this business: namely, the Portfolios. You do NOT get your money back in (usually within 24 hours.) What that last point refers to is the Console... and again, you do not have access to it. So, this statement is a false claim.

5. Matt says, " By pushing $100 from Int-gold into the pool (float) you receive a fee of about $2. This process takes about 30 seconds to complete.

When the funds come back into your account (about 24 hours). You make another $2; Now $4 doesn't sound like a lot but that is $240 a month for something that takes about 30 seconds a day and with $100." ** Again, this is something that you cannot do. Therefore it is also a false claim, and a VERY MATERIAL one.

6. Matt says, " I got Steve and Doug to sit down (which, believe me, wasn't

easy) and I grill them for 2 hours with every question I think a person would have about the currency exchange business. We cover... " This insinuates that you find the following information in that 2-hour seminar which is represented by his program (the following points are what's missing from his CD's, though he did not tell you that you would have to visit forums to learn ALL of this also; you THOUGHT that the CD's would cover at least THIS much): a. Exactly what the opportunity is and how to profit from it (not covered.

Note the words 'exactly' and 'how to profit'... neither is explained on the

CD's) b. How you could make $10,000 a month in a year with just a few hundred dollar investment. (not covered. Note the word 'how') c. Difference between an out and in in-exchange and claim. (They kept changing terms to describe things: 'do an OutX [what does 'do' mean?

Process? Or list?].' 'send a Claim. [how do you 'send a Claim to someone else? You can't. They're YOURS and not transferable -- thus, structurally confused info.]' 'do an InX.' Etc. You have no clue what these things are or how many different versions there are by the time they're done... let alone how to use them as a group to your advantage. Because, again, the info is so 'muddled.' d. How to profit big-time from claims. (Notice that this and the above are still features that he insinuates that you can use... you haven't been able to for months, now, and it might be months before you can again. I don't expect the Consoles to be available again until Sept/Oct, frankly). e. Step by step. A to Z. (ABSOLUTELY false. Again, you have no idea how to operate this business at ALL after you listen to the CD's. You have a vague concept that there is money here, and a vague concept that there are processes to getting to it. All you actually LEARN is how to start your e-currency accounts until you hit the forums. That's about it. EVERYTHING ELSE has to come from the mess of Q/A that they have on their forums...

which is really just DXPT's, TeamSuccessDX's, and DX4Dummies' stuff.) ** Note that the above are three false (misleading) statements, when taken together. You're given to believe that you're getting a product which you patently are not.

7. In the yellow box: " How much can I make? That depends on how much you invest. With $200 you could make $200 to $300 per month without any additional investments. You could end up making thousands per month if you leave some of your profit in the system and let your profits grow." ** FALSE. This implies that you have a Console. You will not make anything like this normally with the Portfolio. The P4 System is not implied at all here; in the P4 System, you never 'invest.' The 'invest' part -- the very word -- always implies the Portfolio. Never the Console nor the P4, because you do no 'investing' in either of those places.

8. In the yellow box: the topic called, 'Is it legal?' : "... Can I run more than one account: The system allows you to run two accounts which is a great way to accelerate your profits. You cannot have more accounts then that or you risk getting shut out of the system and we don't want that." ** FALSE. You can only have one account. This already means that you can only have one original point of contact to the system at large. Therefore, your profits are already cut in half based on this. MARRIED folks can have an account for their spouse, if it's identified... and if their spouse runs it. Ultimately, "only one account per customer."

9. Next section: "How long does it take?" ... "You can do this at any hour of the day. In the morning or at night. You can accelerate your earnings if you can check your machine 3 or 4 times per day but more is not necessary." ** FALSE. Again, this assumes that you have access to a Console. You don't.

Therefore, this entire idea cannot apply to you.

10. "Why should I buy this? Because there is not an easier, less expensive, highly profitable business that you can start out there." ** Baloney. Matt makes it sound like he is the sole-runner of this program... again, it's a 'smear tactic.' He suggests that 'this' IS the only way to get into this program. Also, his program is, as he says, 'not perfect.' (You know what I mean by looking around his program and others)

11. " Look for something that allows you to put in $500 and take out $10,000 in a year" ** At the current rate of growth on the Portfolios, you won't see anything like this. And again, this statement assumes that you have access to a Console... which you clearly do not, have not, and have no clue when it will happen again.

12. " Peanuts for how much money you WILL make doing exchanges." ** What exchanges? You cannot process any. Again, this is a false statement by default. It implies that you have access to a Console.

13. Now, I haven't asked, but looking at his Testimonials, I see this: "...your support has really been great. Thanks for the live calls as well. I would never been able to get started without them."

-Justin Hartman ** Justin could not believe he was quoted here. He never bought the program. He never needed it. Many, if not all, of these Testimonials are probably.. because Matt did not have a 'test version' of their system already out for these guys. Most of them, if not all, are my guys, and these Testimonials would not have been talking about the Mazu program, but about DXPT and/or the others. Most if not all of these Testimonials are completely bogus (junk testimonials). Also notice that these Testimonials CLEARLY tend to reference Console activities ('I check my account 5 or 6 times a day'... etc.)

14. Here's the kicker... " Plus our incredible guarantee:

100% return in 90 days or I will buy the program myself.

I'll even pay to ship your stuff back.

This is not a typo. You either make 100% return on your investment or I will buy back your program for $300 plus shipping. I will even send Fed Ex out to pick it up from your home. I do require that you trade at least 5 days a week for about 10 minutes each day. We will also took a quick peak at your account to make you did the work. The fact is that you are going to probably make more like 500% return but I think 100% is just a low ball number so folks don't think I am crazy." ** This guarantee is based on your performing Console exchanges for at least

5 days a week. Else, you are not 'trading'... you are 'investing' in the Portfolio. So, this whole guarantee is based on the Console. It can't be based on the P4; they were not doing anything with the P4 at the time this entire page was offered to the market. They hadn't asked me for permission yet (the P4 is mine, and I have the absolute right to dictate who uses it and who does not). 15. Matt says, " I have never asked for you or anyone else's account. Even Dave Bennett has acknowledged this." Well, this is actually a bold-faced lie. Even Support knows that Matt HAS asked for someone's account info before. He surely can't be saying that he forgot about that...? And if he had NOT been stopped by me (my notes and a very serious letter about what he may NOT do with the DXGold program, directly to him, since he clearly doesn't know what is and is not legal), or by someone else along the way, then he would have gotten away with it and surely gone after others' accounts. The first attempt establishes the 'motive.' Even DXGold Support is monitoring his account. Keeping up his behaviour will directly result in his being banned from the DXGold program. He claims that he 'won't ever do it again.' I believe him... it wouldn't look good for him to run a program that he himself has been banned from. Simply put... Matt's misstatements are so broad and so false. Any one of them alone means that his offer is NOT 'The truth, only the truth, and nothing other than the truth.' That alone... ONE simple uncorrected misstatement... is grounds for a full refund (he'll even send FedEx out to your house if you haven't made 100% on your money in 90 days, remember?) No matter what, his program is one... looooong... misrepresentation of what this system is to you and all others. He sold you on a misrepresentation, and is trying to smear the issues (combating refund requests) with you now with 'browbeating' tactics, 'groveling', and simple 'two-faced duplicity.' The man knows the most elementary points about this system, and Steve's knowledge is the equivalent of a BBA: he knows much of the functional step-by-steps, but not a heck of a lot more, as far as anyone who listens to him can guess Click this link to e-mail the message author: Email User
