I canceled my subscription to this course in 2020 because I couldn't afford it. The woman I spoke with over the phone said that it would be canceled. The company has tried to charge me $394 every single month since then I have tried reaching out to them to no avail. If you are wondering how they make their money this is at. They initially wanted me to add my bank account. I WOULD GIVE THE 0 STARS IF I COULD, SERIOUS.Review from Simona D

SCAM! If I could turn back time, I would go back to the day I had a choice to go with the program or to not do it and be free from Spectacular Business Academy. I am locked in their contract, if youre making some good money already then this could MAYBE could help you. However, I am someone who is working from paycheck to paycheck and still lacking. Many of the things theyve suggested, selling courses requires monthly MONEY that I do not have. I grew distant from the program with the thought that, according to them The Program would pause and youll be restricted from doing anything on the program. I was fine with that. However I receive an email saying they are transferring my account to collections on 1/11/2024 and said they tried to reach out. No emails were sent. I responded saying that I wasnt doing well financially and that theres nothing I can do on my end and to feel free to do whatever they need to on their end. Then they sent my account to collections. I wanted to work with them through my law firm so they could get THEIR money back and request documents from the Academy so I could repay them. NO RESPONSE from the academy! Its giving SCAM. They are purposefully withholding my information and thats bad business!!

Hi ******, it is unfortunate that you made a decision to consciously commit to an annual enrollment commitment in our academy and then call this academy a scam because we are holding you accountable to your financial commitment that you made with us.
In return to your commitment to your annual enrollment we had to commit to providing you with invaluable, upfront coaching, mentorship, proven strategies, hundreds of thousands worth database of trainings that you can use to leverage and improve income as it has done for other students.
It is unfair to say that we charge a monthly fee when that is simply not true.. you were charged monthly because you opted into a payment plan instead of paying your tuition in full.
Our program has a strict cancellation and return policy, and you were made very aware of that prior to joining our Academy.
Our program is a one-year commitment and not want to month. With this one year commitment, we provide you with our entire framework and business model resources, Scripts, processes, operations, our internal team, to help you skill your team we help you hire, brand yourself and love your social media. Once that information is given to you, you can use it for the rest of your life.
As we stated before, we cant not take the information in the resources, we give you back. this is entrepreneurship, while we understand, it can be difficult at times, and it is not for everyone, but we are not responsible for the decisions that you made. In this case, you made a commitment, but yet you are calling us a scam because you are failing to honor that commitment.
we work very hard to help others. It is a shame to write search fallacies when you are very aware that our program helps everyone from different stages in their entrepreneurship journey we help very beginners, and we help people that are ready to scale and build their team.
We are so sorry that you feel this way that we are still here to help so if it any point youre ready to get back on entrepreneurship journey leveraging, social media, please give us a call.

I started in this Academy in August of 2022. Since then I've scaled by business to multiple 6 figures and have left my 9-5 Job at one of the top companies in the world. The thing about this program is, you have to put in the work and listen to the direction of the mentors and team. They have the framework, tools, resources, and step by step processes that not only save you time, energy, and money... but helps you grow and scale your business and life. You have to put in the work though. If you don't work for it, it won't work for you!Review from Tashaka S

Spectacular Academy is a SCAM. I was signing up to see **** Trade and Travel for $20 and ended up in a subscription.Spectacular Academy Response

Hi *******, we did a one time training with ***** on trade and travel, but at the end it looks like she may have offered you to join her program on a subscription.
The only way this would have happened is if you opted in to this, we do not have the ability or capability to opt you into something without your permission.
if you are receiving notifications of payment, I recommend checking your emails for the receipts and contacting them directly to cancel the subscription and possibly issuing a refund.
Spectacular academy does not have a $20 product. I do apologize for this negative experience please let us know how this can help.

Spectacular Academy is another scheme to take advantage of the poor and oppressed. Do they have good advice? Yes. Will you be successful as a social media entrepreneur, when following their tips and suggestions? Most likely. Will you be able to receive your refund after their 15 day trial, if your not happy with the service? NO! They have stipulations on their contract making it nearly impossible. First off, they mandate 10% completion of their videos. As well as implementing what you've learned. In addition to joining 1 live Q&A Zoom call, that's held 1x per. week and NEVER starts. The host never starts the meeting! Therefore, you cannot attend!. No one responds to your emails or calls as promised. They basically take your money and run! Most of their testimonials are mainstream individuals that already have money. Its a hoax! If a company can't stand by their own word then why should anyone invest anything into them? Regardless of the future financial benefit. I feel foolish to falling victim into a dream simply to provide for my family. Please be wiser. Follow God not man. It will lead to regrets. Sooner or later. Know that these celebrities aren't fulfilled. They pride themselves over material things. But strip them from their money and fame and their human in the flesh. With nothing. Be careful. Stay far from Spectacular Academy.Spectacular Academy Response

*******, It is such a shame to say things like this as it directly affects the reputation of the person, company you are referring to.
You recieved a full refund on Dec 16, 2021 without ANY issue.
This untrue statment affects the familys and employees of the entire company. We do not scheme or take advantage of anyone, we help and have many suucessful students and also make it clear not to enroll if you are not willing to do the work! 10% is only 5 videos and joining the live Q&A is so that you can get help if you are stuck. We allow a 15 day refund window which you are able to attend 2 to 3 live q&A's during that period. They are actually held twice per week an not only once as you stated and they are all recorded with attendance taken. Our refund policy is this so that people can push themselves past their fears of achievement but we also make it extrememly easy because if it is not a good fit for you then you can get a refund.
Unfortunately, you did not want to do the work and seems you had buyers remorse. It is ashamed that you would make these kind of false statements affect the lives and future of others that are trying to shake this type of mindset and take leaps that are scarey just because you did not want to do the work that you were aware of before you signed up and it was located on your enrollment agreement
I wish you the best and hope you get out of the mindset of thinking you are poor and opressed.Customer Response

My statement was not false. Neither was my refund granted on 12/16. My refund was granted 12/27 by the grace of God on someone's heart; 3 days after I received an email stating I still had to join a Q&A. And I reached out to my bank for further investigation. In addition, if the academy offers the live Q&A 2x per. Week, the website should state so. You teach others about being active on their post yet your website is not up-to-date according to you. Plus no one responded the numerous attempts when the "live Q&A zoom call never started. I wish I could post the email where a rep. Specifically mentioned the 1 day per week on Thursday when Q&As are held. But anyone reading this will have to take my word for it. And your incognito "insult" at the end of your statement is lame and proof of the character of the people in Spectacular. Money does not make you better than anyone else. So you can stay sticking your post it notes on your mirror and completing your to do list as I trust in The Lord of my Father in heaven. May God bless you in Jesus name, with unveiling your eyes to the truth of what matters in this life. We all have a purpose...have you been working on yours?
