Big Education scam...


I just wanted to warn you that there is a company out there called Global Educators Inc, a high ticket coaching scam that is soliciting folks via telephone.
They are also claiming that they are associated with Wealthy Affiliate. THIS IS A LIE. We are in no way associated or partnered with ANY companies.

How is this Happening?

When you purchase a domain name, you should be registering it with a "private" whois. If you don't, it is going to show your contact details to any company like this that takes advantage of these contact details with their "cold calling" procedures.
When you go to register any domain of your own going forward, please do make sure that you choose the option for "whois privacy". This will prevent you from getting contacted and solicited by companies such as Global Educators Inc.

What to Do?

The Global Educators Inc company has no right to solicit to you and spam you in this manner. You should be reporting this to the FTC.

If you have been solicited by this company, please share your experience here so that we can warn others and help prevent others from being succumb to this scam.
Also, you can report the individuals that are contacting you as well. Please get their names and how they got in touch with you (got your details).
Here is an example of one of the individuals from this company that is reaching out trying to scam people with their $2000 mentoring packages (ouch). His name is Bruce Gott and he is a known scammer.
