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 DR. 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.
