Blade Combat Course is an insulting scam

DO NOT SEND ANY KIND OF MONEY FOR ANY REASON TO PSU PHOENIX STATE UNIVESITY BY PAYPAL OR ANY OTHER MEANS.
I'm a law school graduate in my country and because of my line of work I study everything I can get a hold of regarding knife defense, knife combat, knife techniques, security and firearms. I came across the PHOENIX STATE UNIVERSITY web (http://www.bladecombat.com/home.html) page and bought a "Blade Combat Course". In their web page they argue their course is based on many civilizations studies and comparisons of blade use, autopsies, swat members interviews and so on. They even charge you for shipping, to make you believe they are going to send you something. What you get is an ill written, 61 page sketchy .pdf file via e-mail with vague statements wich I read in half and hour just to find out it's a piece of useless dirt. They charged US$87.00 for it! They even mention someone called "Sensei Halstead" as the author and "founder" of the "Lethalo Combat System".
Needless to say it is a scam that functions this way:
They offer various courses, including gunsmith, bodyguard, security, etc. They send you a .pdf file with an "introductory" course with a test at the end which is an essay you have to write about what you "learned". Then they are supposed to send you more files and so on. The only thing they do is waste time to prevent you from placing a complaint over PAYPAL.
Nevertheless I placed my complaint on Paypal on time against PHOENIX STATE UNIVERSITY and within seconds Paypal issued an automated response to my e-mail, statintg that by their conditions of use complaints only apply to the shipping of the goods and not the quality of quantity of them, so they cannot void the transaction or make a refund, and that their "investigation" was closed. What investigation? So they were of no help, what's more, in this way I think Paypal becomes an accomplice of the scam because it's a tool this fraudulent "seller" uses to bring confidence ot the public (me) on the transaction.
I'm sorry for me and the hundreds of ripped off people who buy something from PSU PHOENIX STATE UNIVERSITY. I don't know, but in my country you can't name "University" to any stablishment without government supervision.
DO NOT SEND ANY KIND OF MONEY FOR ANY REASON TO PSU PHOENIX STATE UNIVESITY BY PAYPAL OR ANY OTHER MEANS. Their e-mail is: [email protected]

Never Delivered Product I Paid For

After over two months, ETI/PSU never provided any of the products I paid for: Executive Protection, Bodyguard, Firearms Instruction, Master Gunsmith, FFL Licensing, Shotgun Tactical Specialist, Vehicle Escape, Event Protection, Dignitary Protection. In actuality I don't believe they have any of these products.

I paid over $400 for their Maxi Success Program. DON'T DO IT. Angela one of their "reps" was rude and accused me of not even taking the test that I sent back to them over 8 times - although it wasn't a course but more like a marketing overview questionaire. Tim, the alleged ATF retired Manager, also threatened me when I asked for the products I had paid for. They continued to reply to any correspondence through one of two email addresses: [email protected] or [email protected] . Both are automated responses. If you enter the addresses in and send them anything you will get back the same reply regardless.

They claim to "grandfather" your credentials to avoid the Obama legislation with guns. They claim you are bonded through them. NOT TRUE. They claim they sign you up for alot of associations - NOT TRUE only one and it is theirs. They claim to get you credit refs - not any good as no one knows the companies they use as reference.

IN TOTAL A GIANT SCAM AND FRAUD. Stay AWAY FROM ETI/PSU for any Reason.
