Scott McGillivray Seminar Calls: How to Protect Yourself
Summary — +15028713347
Expert Opinion
Skip the free‑ticket lure, because these calls are a high‑pressure telemarketing scheme targeting real‑estate investors. Callers claim you’ve won free tickets or a complimentary tablet if you attend a real estate seminar, then pressure you into paying steep course fees. Never share personal or financial details with unknown callers, and always verify a company’s legitimacy before committing. Register your number on the Do Not Call list, use call‑blocking tools, and hang up if the pitch feels rushed or vague. Report persistent offenders to the FTC or your state consumer protection agency, and share your experience to warn others.

It seems strange that Scott M hasnt taken legal action against the seminar company, given his reptation and sucess, it makes you wonder whats realy going on

The disappointment with Scott McGillivray's seminar stems from unfulfilled promises and the use of aggressive sales tactics reminiscent of timeshare pitches, which failed to deliver on the expected educational content for real estate investing, particularly for a Canadian audience.
I wasted my time and money attendin the first seminar, but what they didnt mention is that you have to pay another $25,000 to $60,000 for more education, peoples borrowed from their homes, credit cards and retirement funds just to get more education without geting any return on they're first investment, thats not good!
The Scott McGillivray NY event has been identified as a scam, and it's crucial not to provide any financial support to these scam artists, as they are known to target the tristate area.
Thanks to this blog and the shared experiences of others, I've come to realize that I was nearly deceived and am now attempting to cancel my order, although the scammers are unresponsive.
Initially, I posted this on a community website but it was removed. Hopefully, this post will help those researching PMI.
I attended the seminar for 2 days, but I was removed by the staff, they told me it wasnt for me, and that they had information I couldnt be exposed to, I beleive it's a scam, and I'm going to file a formal complaint with the Attorney General.
Contrary to initial assumptions, this call is not related to debt collection; rather, it appears to be associated with a seminar on house flipping, promoted by Scott McGillvray, a figure known for his appearances on HGTV.

A disappointing experience at a seminar, which turned out to be a sales pitch for a costly 3-day event, smells like a scam to me
Those making accusations of scamming are at risk of being sued for slander, as it is common sense to use Caller ID and avoid answering unknown numbers, making it the recipient's responsibility for engaging with such calls.
It's unfair to accuse Scott McGillivray's company of being a scam, as he's a reputable individual who wouldn't engage in such activities, I can attest to his character having attended his seminars and read his books.
In my opinion, this is a scam aimed at discrediting Scott, who is a genuine and ethical person
I recorded the conversation with the caller.
Attendees of the Scott Mcgillivray seminars have fallen prey to a fraudulent scheme that promises free gifts but delivers nothing, with a steep initial price tag that is later reduced, and hilariously, includes planted attendees to create a false sense of urgency, all while the main speaker is notably absent, and the organizers have gone to great lengths to silence critics by purchasing domains that could be used to report their scam.
A seminar invitation was extended, promising insights into real estate investment, but at a steep cost of $2,000 to $3,000 and a significant time commitment.

On June 13, 2011, at 11:33 AM, I received a call from (502)871-3347 regarding property-related matters. When I inquired about how they obtained my cell number, I was met with resistance and promptly told them I wouldn't engage in any conversation. It's frustrating, considering I'm on the DO NOT CALL LIST, which raises questions about the government's potential involvement in selling our numbers to alleviate debt or line their own pockets. I plan to investigate this further by contacting my Congressman, Senator, and the Attorney General's Office in my state to put an end to these unwanted calls.
This incident bears a striking resemblance to the Armado Montelongo scam, with the caller becoming rude upon being told I was uninterested, and it is essential for people to share their negative experiences on Google to warn others, as numerous complaints about Armando are already listed.
