Beware of the Prepayment SCAM!My son attended this location for many years, where I was offered discounts for prepayments on classes promising reimbursement if unused. Each prepayment agreement got longer and longer till I was conned into prepaying for 3 years. Halfway through, the Master left the state leaving my son in an undesirable situation. Shortly after, I received a call from the new “Master” running the same scam, trying to get more prepayments from me. I explained that my son was done, and we actually wanted the promised refund of the unused prepayment of 18 months. He said, “No problem” but I would have to go through headquarters. It took 7 months of me contacting them before I received a phone call back from Mr. Gimemez. He immediately stated that they didn’t give refunds and then LAUGHED at me! He then told me I got a great deal, and I shouldn’t be upset! The Google Reviews under headquarters are flooded with this scam. This location requested I not post my issue here since this is Headquarters decision not theirs. However, this location scammed me and took my money, Headquarters is only the Strong Man they are hiding behind. I never signed a contract, only trusted the previous Master’s honest word. BEWARE OF THIS SCAM! THEY DO NOT REFUND! NO MATTER WHAT IS PROMISED TO YOU!!
