Misleading Advertising of Ineffective Seminar System

Company claims a marketing system that provides qualified leads. Their system lacks any flexibility and support, and therefore failed to deliver.

123 College is not a scam. They have helped thousands of families qualify for financial aid. Any fess charged are extremely reasonable and Ronald Jay is not a difficult man to reach. The person who wrote this review has received a full refund. Read More »

HELPFUL BUT NOT REALLY NECESSARY FOR MOST PEOPLE
