Wow, I looked up Alan Fine as I'd gotten his name from I believe a China Rose some time ago and was looking for some web work that I've since gotten done elsewhere but I'm not only glad I found this site but very surprised by the comments.Not in a bad way, but in a glad way, I didn't get a good feeling at the presentation but I think it may have been Peter (heavy set man, moustache and seemed to know very little about online development). At anyrate, I'm not here to post any harshness, only my encounter with their group and I wasn't comfortable and glad I did not go ahead with either one of them.Thank goodness for details like what is here, it was going to cost me $2500 if memory serves so thank you all for your insight.Geniveve

Unsolicited fax from My Dog Spots www.mydogspots.com  Same as above, no contact info on website or on fax.  Looks like both businesses are scam using a "hidden" fax provider.

Hello,Be Vary Wary of Peter Singleton and Alan Fine, they have joined each other and are scamming people using Meetup.com (Alan uses Meetup) and their plan is to create a program (the latest is mobile marketing) as a loss leader to get you to a meeting, when you are there, it clearly becomes a poorly planned garbage session, give them $9,000.00 to start a really poorly designed coaching program from a company called Leader Global Consulting, started by a guy named Karly Byran or Bryan out of BC.  This company has sold "coaching" positions to 7-8 people for $44K each, of which NONE of them coaching to this day!  They didn't like the SCAM approach.When I purchased the program, I paid Peter $9,000 and that is when the real truth started.  He would get on a "coaching" call (more like a be-little call) and when I failed to complete 1 bloody segment due to business related issues, he told me he was done, that I'd not met my part of the agreement.  He harrassed me and that was it!  Nothing good will come of your meeting Peter Singleton of CGAA or Alan Fine, also of CGAA and TLC Franchising (also a host of other new names)PETER SINGLETON and ALAN FINE are ripping people off, do NOT let your self become a victim like I did, sadly I lost my small business, in part due to my poor management and largely in part due to the last few dollars I had and gave it to this scum bag.  His list of scam centers are:www.accountablecommunications.comwww.tlcmarketingandfranchising.comwww.cgaa.netRemember, buyer beware!

Again, I agree with Alan, this is not the place to lay any blame.  It's not Alan's fault that he was likely someone who was taken with Peters "ideas" or "lets get rich" plan.  He would not be the first and likely won't be the last person either.Alan, don't take this personally, but you were taken by Peter, and likely this Ryan person as well.  When Peter took my $9000 and then it was 6-weeks later he told me that i had not followed his program and done my weekly task so the contract was nullified.  I learned the hard way and likely  you have as well.Very best to youMVA
