Wealth Masters International in Financial Troubles?

Delayed Payments

Wealth Masters International seems to be in heavy weather. Several sources confirms the company Is super delayed in paying their members – 21+ days past due and even later. Earlier Top Earner Michael Hamburger resigned

Patrick Combs, a hired speaker for an event on his Facebook: Seeking a lawyer to collect around $10,000 from Wealth Masters International (Ironic, I know). Anyhow, they owe me for keynotes I did for them more than 6 months ago in Puerto Rico. A signed contract and collection calls haven't prompted them to pay.

After several leaders resigned, delayed payments are a strong sign the company could be going down. The SEC has placed WMI under investigation:

  1. Hi Ted,
    Not looking good for WMI and I guess there will be more bad news to come for the remaining members, many of whom will be hanging on in the hope of receiving outstanding commissions.
    In an industry largely reliant on the combimed efforts of large numbers of people, it’s very survival of almost every company relies as much on a continued good reputation as the product, payplan or any other aspect of their business but once damaged, reputation is probaly the hardest element to repair.
    The other challenge that every time this type of situation arises, the rest of us then have to combat the negative images of the entire industry which re-emerge.
    That said though Ted, it’s good that your information at least brings these things out into the open and that can surely never be a bad thing.
    Regards,
    John S.

  2. Greg, To answer your question no. All the big names have left, including mike dillard, jay kubassek, aaron rashkin, michael force, gregg davison, lena bjorna, aaron parkinson, rick & susann crawford and many others. They did announce that jeff lerner has come back which is not a surprise since he is now engaged to karl bessey’s daughter. even several top corporate brass have left: deanna latson, mary dee and most recently michael hamburger. It’s not the pretty picture they portray. Several complaints can be seen from disgruntled ex-distributors detailing how WMI Corp has been over charging and under delivering, especially anything ryan nelson has produced. Sounds like his work is epic failure after epic failure. Rumors have it that he cheated members out of millions with his SEO work. Word on http://www.behindmlm.com is that per gunnar hoem is the next to leave.

  3. I have alot of info from wealth masters I’ve been trying to get a refund for3 months now and haven’t received anything I was promised the world and received nothingin return you can reach me at 267-8473138 I’m into them for about 13000.00,and they have not come through on anything as soon as theygot there money noone would call back ive pleaded with them for a refund but was pretty much blown off they rush you in the begining and deliver nothing

  4. Hi, everyone, what is the matter with you people looking for refunds? Did you get into WMI for no good reasons and discovering that you have to learn what to do for any kind of success? That is marketing! Learn and master it. You cannot blame WMI. It was your decision to join and your responsibility for making it in the business. Looking for bad rumors or non -confirmed third hand information to justify your logic that WMI is bad because you want a refund and have problems with it is not a positive way to look at it. You are in one of the greatest systems on line for creating wealth. Now look for the marketing solution! WMI is not a pro marketing department. CCPro was but there is still a way to market WMI and it is not in their back office or expertise. I will be happy to help in anyway marketing their WMI business. All you need is the right attitude and I my website can give everything you need when and if you want it. Regards, Anders
