JENMAN versus WEALTH SPRUIKERS

In order to drum up more publicity, what appears to be, Neil Jenman is writing a book on 134 so-called property spruikers.

Of course there are plenty of spruikers that deserve to be exposed for their dubious actions, but are there really 134 dubious ones or are there some legitimate operators that Jenman is simply using to generate publicity.

Whether you agree or not with what many wealth spruikers teach isn't the point, and it still doesn't make it ethical for Jenman to slander all of them simply to further his own agendas, especially when he is a property spruiker himself.

Individuals under Australian law can sue for defamation, which many are now suing against Jenman for past defamation by him. However, he often uses this for a sympathy vote from the public that crooks are simply trying to silence him. When in fact many legitimate people are simply being forced to spend large amounts of money in legal fees to defend their damaged reputations by an unethical operator like Jenman who seems to think that slandering people should have no repercussions and allowable by law.

The question one should ask Jenman is:

Is he saying that anyone that attempts to educate Australians on Financial Education and charges for their services is effectively a crook committing a crime?

He may argue that some use misleading claims, however, often that comes down to someone's opinion of what is possible to achieve with certain financial strategies so any claim would be considered misleading by Jenman.

His views seem to be somewhat radical and socialistic, especially when considering Jenman's so called Ethical Real Estate System has made him millions and only made possibly due to a free enterprise system.

The fact that there are socialist journalists willing to spread such radical malicious and dangerous views by Jenman is somewhat concerning in a capitalist country and should be concerning to consumers genuinely wanting to access a legitimate financial education. Many consumers are more than intelligent enough to choose if they wish to invest money into attending wealth seminars and to decide if they get value from their financial education. Surely we can't blame consumers for their wanting to be financially educated.

Many consumers accept and realise that it is a better option compared with relying on the advice of commissioned sales people who dressed up as Financial Planners.

Some misguided Politicians also believe all Wealth Spruikers should be banned. The false assumption that they must all be crooks only encourages people such as Jenman.

If Jenman and some misinformed Politicians and journalists got their way, then many consumers would be prevented from accessing financial education from many wealth educators who have legitimately helped many consumers improve their lives. Just because a percentage of consumers may have a bad experience is not a valid reason to shut down a whole industry.

If that was the case, cars would be banned as some are faulty, mechanics would be banned as some are dodgy and seeing doctors would be prevented as some are unethical. Actually, almost every profession would need to be banned if based on Jenman's ridiculous logic and views pushed to serve his own agendas.

If someone offers to teach others to get wealthy and if people wish to pay for such an education, then what business it is of politicians or anyone else to prevent such legitimate business? After all, Peter Costello has told Australians they have to become self-funded retirees so they are being told to get a financial educator.

Of course, it’s not a crime to give suggestions to someone to become rich in a rich country. Still less, the opportunity and likelihood of someone to become rich is more than reasonable if they are financially educated.

Consumers should keep an open mind when wishing to pursue a wealth education. Because there are many legitimate Wealth Educators who have operated for many years and offer 100% money back guarantee and have produced significant results for many clients and some consumers have some satisfied clients.

The so-called Consumer Advocate called Jenman is doing disservice to many consumers by making false allegations against the industry that Jenman dislikes from his own agendas.

So Consumer Warning asks for your experiences with Wealth Educators.

What experiences have you had either good or bad and who were they?

Is there any legitimate Wealth Educators operating in Australia and New Zealand and are their courses value for money?

Do you believe the Wealth Educating Industry should be banned and Australians only allowed to access financial advice from Financial Planners who mostly work on commission?

Should people like Jenman be allowed to slander and defame all of them and not be held liable or accountable for their actions?
