Gary Shawkey
Where do I start?
This is from a couple of interviews by people who have been taken in by Mr. Shawkey.
In her interview D. R had this to say;
"My life has changed so much, since coming to know there are such
deceitful and evil men/women like Gary and Stephanie. And my funds are
gone.
People
are led in by friends, someone trusted, believing "this guy is honest
and he will help us make money !" He sold us useless shares/units in
his so called "Company"!
In
turn they sell their friends and family members. Some money is paid out
to entice a lot of people to "believe". When it is evident you have
been "taken", your friends and family can't get their money back, you
can't go to work without facing the ones there that lost money, you are
left embarrassed and humiliated. You have lost credibility. There is so
much lost, besides money.
From J. S.
I was an aging RN...with some minor health problems. I could foresee
that I was not going to be able to continue to do bedside nursing until
I was 65 yrs old. I had a fairly good retirement plan, but felt I
should be lining up another way to earn some money
I joined for FREE initially, but then overtime, various programs were
introduced with paid versions and we were encouraged to take a paid
version in order to make 'bigger commissions'
Part
of Gary's way of doing things, was to hype every new program he came
out with, a great deal. And then urge those of us who HAD already
invested money to help get the last program going.... to open our
checkbooks one more time for the newest one. Since we weren't getting
paid any significant return on our investments due to various
'problems' he kept having.... we would always open the checkbook one
more time, believing that riches were right around the corner.
It didn't seem to matter that his current programs did not work. His
marketing tools did not get me anything all those years except a few
random hits and a total of 54 FREE members signed up in a downline. In
the end, currently, only 12 of them have a reachable email address at
all. One of those members WAS a paying member for a couple years in ONE
program, which paid me a whopping $8.00/mo commission. Gary also was
able to keep us all from communicating with each other, and when we
were having problems making money or getting his tools to work, it
would be explained away in a manner that left us thinking WE didn't
know what we were doing!
I
just urge anyone to BE WARY of this man. Do NOT be his next victim. He
needs more victims because most of his loyal marketing group members
have jumped ship and won't bail him out any more. He is a smooth
operator, so don't listen too long. He once told us in a training
meeting that once he got someone on the phone, he could sell them
anything.... as long as he didn't let them hang up on him.... it was
just a matter of time! Don't be one of those people!!
The
next person asked that his name not be used because he did not want his
famly and friends to know how badly he had been talked by Gary Shawkey.
Parts of the 2nd interview could have been my own, the opinions and
story are so similar. I feel like a light bulb was just lit to show me
the truth behind scores of emails I've rec'd the last couple of years.
Shawkey sure knows how to spin a believable tale of opportunity, and
then when things don't work out, he starts something new and improved
to keep people hanging on. Every time a venture fails, he blames the
members for not participating or supporting him. I have to wonder now
if he really set up those various businesses, or if it was all smoke
and mirrors designed to milk more money from people desperate for a
financial savior.
Funny
how clear things look in hind sight, and how many times he has run the
same scheme only painted a slightly different color. He preys on the
hope of needy people whose world has been expanded by the internet, and
shames those who dare to question his use of their money.
When his income stream begins to slow down, he hastily puts up a
website with pictures, or a video of himself and something or someone
impressive to help substantiate his claims, all of which have some
element of peace and prosperity for the 'family', good health,
morality, and a better way of life for people everywhere. He can make
you feel like a bad person for not participating, like it is your duty,
and you are a disappointment to all humanity if you don't spend your
last dime to further his cause. Surely his next step will be into
politics!
The
more I think about it, the more I remember just how much of my money
went into the Shawkey pockets. I bought into the 'safe portal' and
registered several domain names, bought his bizopp CD, and paid for
membership to his 'money list'. I purchased health products during his
'fire sale', that had been priced so high to start with, that the sale
price wasn't cheap. I paid for his 'secrets' newsletter sent out every
month or two, that usually had out dated articles written by other
professionals. It is embarrassing to look back and remember how easily
I gave him my money.
These are from three people who have each lost a large amount of money to a man who is still running scams on the internet.
Beware
of Gary Shawkey and his get rich deals as HE is the one who is going to
get rich and leave you wondering why you gave him your money.
