My 21 year old son who is recently unemployed and living with us has been dealing with depression. He has a 1 year old son as well and not a very healthy relationship with his son’s mother. We had been trying to get him to go to therapy, but instead, he joins Mike Barron’s promise by being coerced into filling out an American Express credit card application, lie on his income on said application by the guidance of Mike Barron, and was approved for an Amex gold with unlimited spending and a 29% apr rate. Then my son goes and gives Mike Barron $10,000 from this Amex card that he JUST opened.

We had told him to NOT give money to these people (these snake oil sellers) and now he’s in the whole of $10k with zero income and an APR rate of 29%, which means when the credit card bill comes, and he can’t pay, $3,000 will be tacked onto that statement and the downward spiral continues. How could Amex approve such an application and not get red flags with such an extravagant purchase from a new applicant who is only an authorized user on his father’s credit cards, how could a “legit” business talk someone into going into such extreme debt? We also see that he is being picked up around 8am and not getting back home until 3am, which is a cause for concern of his physical and mental health.

I had went through with purchasing Mike Barrons closing academy back in June 7th, 2023, I had put down 750 USD (approximately 1050 CAN) with the understanding that I would get my money back if I changed my mind about the academy. The morning of June 8th I decided to back out, phoning them less than 8 hours later stating that I wished to retract my application and wanted a refund. I had not accessed the portal, or any of the training materials. About 3 weeks later I looked in my bank account to see that the money had been returned to me on June 26th, however… on July 20th, they took the money back out without telling me. This is one of their tricks. Please don’t fall for their games, or their BS inner circles, they are there to take care of themselves and themselves only!

I have been in the Mike's Inner circle for about a year. I have to say this is the best investment I EVER made. He has provide tons of valuable information that has changed my life and the life of others. I have triple the initial investment of the inner circle. If you can commit, and follow instruction, Your are missing out!

Mikes has always been there to answer any questions I have, Danica and Nicole and Amazing. The support me with any barriers or questions I have. The value is there. They over deliver. I highly recommend Mikes program.

I AM WRITING IN CAPITAL LETTERS TO EXPRESS THE AMOUNT OF DAMAGE LIMELIGHT MEDIA IS DOING, 50K TO INVEST IN AN INNER CIRCLE OR PARTNER, CAUSE THEY ARE EVEN CONFUSED ON THE PRICE AND YOU GET THE SAME PRODUCT IF THERE WAS A PRODUCT TO RECEIVE. THEY SALE YOU ON A BIG VACATION THAT YOU END UP ON AN ISLAND BY YOURSELF WITH 50K BURNED ..
THE CLOSERS THEY PROVIDE YOU ARE BELOW MEDIOCRE AND WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO SELL ANYTHING, THERE ARE 30 PLUS 50K INVESTORS WHO ARE ALSO DISGRUNTLED AND HAVE NOT RECEIVED THE PRODUCT. PLEASE STAY AWAY FROM MIKE AND VAN BECAUSE THEY ARE JUST SALESMEN THAT PROMISE YOU THE WORLD AND NEVER DELIVER ON WHAT THE CONTRACT STATED.

YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED, MIKE BARRON IS THE RING LEADER

I also go scammed we paid 50k for an inner circle program to help us with infrastructure sales and a sales team provided by Mike Barron and the closer academy and we have not received what we paid for we to this day 1/4/2023 have made $0 and we invested the 50k back in July of 2022. It's been a constant shuffle around to different people and departments no one takes accountability for the mistakes and lack of communication for the top down. We have asked multiple times for a refund and express via email our frustration and dissatisfaction with this process and how we have been handled. We thought we were the only "partners" with the $0 sales and no communication but soon found out that it was 15+ other people that paid either 25k or 50k for the fake [censored] inner circle program and so at this point it's about recovering our investment because it's not just the money it's our time that we can never recoup.

I worked there with these punks and scammers. Fortunately I never invested my hard earned money. But I watched as Mike and his real Inner Circle sat in the back offices and laughed at making people pay up to 50k for a stolen product that should never had Mike Barton’s name on it. Ask GC. I said 99% cause 1% does make money. Mike and his hit squad. Casey, Jon, Trey, CB, Mark oh and I can go on. It was a game for them and they’re still playing the game. With these peoples money. Buying Lambos and hosting fake events to scam more people. Just know this. I was fired cause I found out. They will say different but with over 500 pissed off victims (students of the fake academy) should say a totally different story than the limelight gang.

I've had a great experience going through the closer academy. I went from nothing to being able to afford a nice place to stay and getting ready to buy a car that I thought I would never have. You have to take the information and apply it. You cant rush through and think everything is going to stick. Keep learning.

I see a lot of people complaining about the placement side of things but you can absorb this knowledge and take it anywhere! Thanks Mike and Limelight Team!

I signed up expecting to make income from this, but it's just a pyramid scheme. Mike makes his money by manipulating people into thinking that if they invest into themselves, they'll make even MORE within 30-90 days. First you sign up for his free sales info, then you get upsold onto the closer academy, then you get upsold to his higher ticket "products." DO NOT sign up for his bogus sales course. It's all a lie. You make money by recruiting people and having them buy HIS products, which are no real products. It's a carefully crafted script to manipulate you into signing up for his academy or for his higher ticket items which gets you more "access to the guru (mike)" it's all bull[censored]. They tell you on your hopes and dreams. Do not do it. Invest in your money else where! They took $10,000 of my money cause I was sold on my own hopes and dreams when I signed up for inner circle not even knowing what it is. these people do not care about you. They just want your money.

t seems like everyone here has a negative mindset. Because you think negative you literally look for negative and then you wonder why that’s all you see. The problem is that people are lazy and don’t want to put in the work. You’re taught how to make 6 figures and you complain about paying a portion of that upfront? Anybody that does their financing literally can pay off the program within the first 6 months. And that’s with the minimum amount of effort. And you’re guaranteed a job. You guys are trippin.

Thanks have been with mike Barron’s program since August of 2021! The coaching in the academy was superior and very supportive! I had my doubts about it! But got encouragement to stick with it! May 30th of this year, I finally passed my closer practical! I already invested $18,000.00 in their programs and events! That very evening! I got my arm twisted into joining the inner circle group for another $30,000.00! To this day I regret this! I am currently living out of my van amd had to quit my job earlier then I had planned due to the vaccination mandate! This $30k came pit of my retirement I worked hard to save! I got procredited $18k amd ended up getting coehersed into joining the inner circle! I have been on this for only 5 weeks and realizing this isn’t for me! I offered them to keep the $18k for services done in the innercircle. I just want my $30k back! They putme in touch with billing amd billing sent me over the resolution center! I already knew I was going to have to trouble with them! I explained my situation on the form and they gave me the same old run around telling me I had 3 days! I hate to report this ! I am extremely disappointed with this program amd the way mike amd his team have handled this! I put my trust in this! Especially sense I have tried a few different things! All I want is to end on good terms! Unfortunately at this point it doesn’t seem like it! After many days of trying to get in touch through messenger and texting! One of my mentors and I formally spoke. He gave me a down graded option! And let me know of the choice I had. I feel like my rights are being violated I chose the down graded they would coach me amd help get me placed! I was already on the academy amd job placement was part of that program! I am 55 yrs old no job or place to live! I had to take the rest of my retirement money due to the $30k financial loss to a program that isn’t for me! I am truly sorry to have to report this! Thanks want to settle this with out having to hire a attorney! I have read so many complaints that I cam relate to! Againg mike ; I tried to resolve this with your company! Unfortunately I have to speak up! This has been extremely disappointing to me!

I got started back in July 2021, no prior sales experience. Invested $2500. Went through the sales training in about 3 weeks and then went to job placement where I had 3 different interviews for fitness, exotic cars, and to work for mike himself. If it was really a scam, then how isn't mike getting sued? … Everyone that gets started in the academy has to sign a contract, if something in the contract isn't fulfilled you can sue mike and his company. Idk if people on this site were under the impression that this was a get rich quick lol, but that doesn't exist. You lazy people actually have to put in the work… How'd I go from working heating and air in Ohio to living on the beach in Florida, paying over 2k a month in rent working from home. The only way you fail with mike is if you quit. And I see a lot of quitters on this page. Put in the work. Show up every day. And you will see results. Everything in the contract is black and white, and again you can sue if something in the contract isn't fulfilled. So how hasn't mike got sued? Because all the people calling it a scam are quitters with no ambition and will never touch 6 figures.

Ty you poor soul. Some people quit some people get hustled. You made money cause limelight Jon Pena and Mike let you make money. It’s called an inner circle for a reason. Only the real inner circle members (oh I can name the names Fam haha) but I’ll do that in court. See you boys in prison. Stealing millions from people is a federal crime and you just incriminated yourself. 🚀

I seen this mike barron ad on Facebook and gave them my email.I was promised to earn 6 digit figures by becoming certified to close high end deals.They convinced me to sign a contract for a total payment of 7,500$ it's all misleading because they are actually selling a marking strategy for a business I don't have they call it a click funnel system witch is a reinvention of the pyramid scheme

Promised me a closer opportunity, with a team of setters and bookings...

Didn't have the closer opportunity, no team of setters, had to hunt my own bookings (leads which were shared between the whole team - so leads were stolen by others).

Complained, removed from group because of "negative feedback".

No response to my emails - Mike ignored all my messages (didn't ignore me prior to paying the $12.5K).

Overall awful service, false promises and no refund of the $12.5K.

I lost 1k from this scam artist, long story short, it’s all for your money because once your in it’s just nonsense videos you have to watch everyday which most of the time showing mike glorifying his sales techniques and status. Teaching really much nothing about making your own sales marketing business. A lot of lying and a lot of greed comming from this place. I cancelled on November of 2020 and it took about 10 to 20 phone calls and e-mails to get through to them. After they said i was cancelled and didn’t even give me a refund as they described on there guarantee, i was charged 375 a month after. But at least i was smart this time and blocked there transaction prior, knowing how careless and sloppy they are. I usually don’t write these, but i had to warn people that make an honest living from being scammed by these people and the mike Barron.

I'm sorry you feel that way Hien! From what it sounds like you only got started! The meat and potatoes is when you get to the practicals. Then you get to start meeting with coaches whenever it works best for you, some of these coaches have run multiple 7-8 figure earning business and are well decorated. And besides that you didn't even get to placement where you actually get to put the skills to use!

This program is a total scam and these people are criminals. The government really needs to get involved. Who charges innocent unsuspecting people $7500 to be an appointment setter when digital marketing companies train you for free? They got my $500 and every contact detail always was unreachable or disconnected. Please anyone reading this do not lose your money on buying this fake program. I feel sorry for anyone that actually paid $7500. They will not get no more money from me and they will be getting reported to the Better Business Bureau and Consumer Affairs. Omg as smart as I thought I was in this case I was a total [censored]. Normally I do my research but this time I did not and lost $500. Word of mouth advertising is very effective so anyone that is reading this please spread the word about this man and this scam before more people get their hard earned money taken from them. I really wanted to believe the hype. You live and you learn. Smdh.

I can tell you from experience I first got trained by a company that was looking for appointment setters, and first off all I could find for opportunities were startups which made it difficult for a beginner to get started, and that totally flopped. For like a month and a half I had no results and I had to go. I got started with Mike and the rest of the team and it was a completely different level of sales game. It really makes sense why the training I was getting before was only making 5-6 figures where Mike is making 7-8... but regardless the best part about the whole thing is the placement they literally help you do a resume and walk you into interviews with huge well established companies... it really doesn't get much better than that in my opinion
