Let’s take a moment to discuss something a little different from our usual uplifting and informative content.

We’re venturing into the tricky territory of scams — a subject that isn’t, well, pretty. Don’t worry, though… we’re still here to provide real estate insights and crypto advice with our trademark accuracy and flair.

But for now, we need to shed some light on a deceptive topic that can leave anyone feeling uneasy, like being unprepared for a surprise test. Ick.

Here’s the thing — scams are not what we’re about here at Awesomely. They’re like that former classmate you try to hide from during your high school reunion.

See, we’re here to make a positive impact, and when we say “Awesomely,” that’s exactly who we are.

With nearly 210,000 people depending on us as they journey to achieving greatness, we’re focused on what really matters: helping you navigate challenges and step confidently into a life that’s bold, fulfilling, and undeniably epic.

Here’s the sad but true tale…

Wade right into the mess for a sec, please. Picture this: a shady website decided to slap the word “scam” on us — based entirely on baseless claims, unchecked rumors, and outright falsehoods. Us!? A team that prides itself on integrity and delivering exceptional resources.

It’s hard to believe. And we’re still trying to make sense of it ourselves.

Here’s the kicker: These so-called critics didn’t even reach out to get the facts straight. Not a single attempt to verify their claims. Instead, they launched their baseless accusations without a shred of proof. It’s like they’ve majored in misinformation — especially when it comes to our cherished and highly successful Inbound Arbitrage (IA) program.

But here’s the ironic twist: While they’re busy tossing around accusations, it’s their credibility that’s crumbling.

Their lack of research and outright dismissal of due diligence has left them floundering in a sea of their own fabrications.

Talk about pointing fingers while standing on shaky ground. Honestly, the whole situation would be laughable if it weren’t so absurd.

So … Is Inbound Arbitrage by Rob Swanson A Scam?

Inbound Arbitrage by Rob Swanson is an innovative new training program that teaches both brand new and experienced real estate investors how to become a “wealth miner” and profit from buying & selling real estate leads.

Regardless of your past experience, Inbound Arbitrage teaches everything you need to do to acquire and sell your first lead — and keep doing it to earn side income or a full-time gig — with zero risk involved.

You’re probably wondering who this shady outfit is.

Well, we’re not even going to dignify them with a name.

They don’t deserve the attention.

Why bother recognizing a group that thrives on negativity?

Sometimes, the best approach is to let the nonsense burn out on its own, while we provide the truth.

Here’s their play: They took a handful of meh reviews and acted like they uncovered some groundbreaking scandal. Spoiler alert — no one wins universal approval all the time.

What they conveniently ignored is that for every dissatisfied reviewer, there are countless others who are genuinely thrilled with what we do at Awesomely. Our glowing testimonials? They come directly from verified, real people — raw, authentic, and enthusiastic.

But hey, who needs facts when spinning a tale is so much easier? So, while they can keep grasping at straws, we’ll keep thriving. Let them stew in their own negativity and lies. We’re too busy celebrating the incredible community we’ve built to waste another second on them.

You don’t just have to take our word for it. Alls you gotta do is take a looksie at TrustPilot, BBB, Facebook, or even Google. You’ll find numerous positive reviews… from our ever-growing, delighted, accomplished customers.

Alright, we hear your gears turning… even with all the amazing feedback, you might still be wondering, “How can I really tell if Awesomely and the IA training program are legitimate?”

Fantastic Q!

Well, instead of stooping to the low tactics of company X, we’re taking the high road by laying out the facts. Revolutionary idea, isn’t it?

Let’s break it down, with a clear look at the false claims they’ve made about us — and the real truth behind them:

  • They shamefully talked smack about our customer service.
    Of course we’ve all unfortunately dealt with crappy, nonexistent, and beyond frustrating customer service — so we’ll be clear: none of that describes Awesomely.

And here’s our proof — take a looksie at these stellar 2024 stats:

  • Live Chat Customer Support Heroes response time: 31 seconds
  • Email response time: 2 hrs. 12 mins.
  • Live phone & chat support: Monday-Friday, 9am–5pm EST (Not a bot! A human!)
  • Support Heroes have successfully helped 2,228 people by phone
  • BBB rating:  A+

If that’s not enough, we got you… check out some real feedback from a couple of our many thousands of ecstatic IA customers:

Testimonial: “I am still in the middle of the training modules but have to date received solid and dependable support from all involved, especially Olga (who seems to sense my every need). Integrity and commitment abound in this company. Thanks to all!” Mary Jeanne M., 2024, 5 Stars Trustpilot

Testimonial: “Customer service is beyond exceptional. While preparing to take the course, a lot of questions came to mind, and every single time anyone of the team was extremely responsive and helpful. The whole thing has been very positive and supportive for my success. Highly recommend!” Michael M., Dec. 2024, 5 Stars BBB

Testimonial: “The programs are well put together and presented. The individuals behind each program are honest, straightforward, and have a love for what they are teaching. Very pleased with my experience.” Joey, 5 Stars Trustpilot, 2024

Now get ready, because we’re about to hit you with some more serious facts!

Here’s the deal: Our Support Heroes aren’t just any old customer service reps reading from a script. Nope, they’re true-blue members of Team Awesomely, armed with an in-depth understanding of all our programs. When you reach out to us, you’re speaking directly with someone who knows the ins and outs of what we do, including program specifics. No passing you around, no unnecessary delays — just straight answers from the source.

Wanna know what we don’t do? Well, you’ve probably experienced the frustration of being shuffled off to some outsourced person with zero connection to the company. Not exactly confidence-inspiring, right? That’s not how we operate. We’re here to provide real, reliable firsthand team member support while continuing to dismantle the unfounded claims from that shady website.

Speaking of which, they had the audacity to claim our pricing is “weird.” Want the real story? Let’s clear that up:

  • We are 100% transparent in our pricing.
  • We have several programs that only cost $97, which includes everything members need to implement the program. They can be successful without purchasing any add-ons/upgrades. That means, we show the price up front, and it doesn’t get bloated to crazy-higher prices at checkout. What you see is what you pay.
  • Upgrades are 100% optional/not required.
  • Every upgrade has a “No Thanks” button, easily allowing customers to pass.

There are countless reasons to appreciate what we do, but for now, let’s get real…

This barfy website has been throwing accusations around like it’s their favorite pastime. Their game?

Generating traffic for themselves by dragging others down. Real classy, huh? And get this: Their claims are about as grounded in reality as spotting a dragon in your backyard. No verification, no credible sources — just a lot of wild, fabricated stories.

The cherry on top? They shamelessly push their own agenda, acting like it’s some magical solution to everything. It’s cringeworthy. Nails on a chalkboard. But hey, when you can’t match up, it seems easier to try and tear others down.

B/c Awesomely isn’t a scam… what do we do?

Let’s start with the big picture: We work alongside the best in the business — think seasoned investors, sharp educators, and expert mentors who could chat real estate and crypto strategies all day every day. We’re like a dream team for the REI and crypto worlds, helping people make smarter moves and achieve their goals.

But here’s the thing — we’re not here for the spotlight. Our mission is to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with our clients, offering support as a loyal partner. We treat everyone like part of the family (yes, even quirky Uncle Will gets a nod). The golden rule isn’t just a nice idea around here — it’s at the heart of everything we do. Our goal? To add some extra sparkle to people’s lives while staying ethical and transparent.

Sure, we’re not surgeons or superheroes rescuing kittens from trees, but what we offer can transform lives. We’re dedicated to sharpening skills, supporting growth, and even helping carve out a little more personal freedom along the way.

And here’s the best part: We don’t just teach the talk; we live it. Our team is fully immersed in investing and entrepreneurship, working on everything from property flips to creative tax strategies to land investments. In other words, we know this stuff because we do it ourselves — and that’s what makes us the real deal.

And! We recently launched our first crypto program: Automatic Payment Pools — and the reviews are amazing! Also, we’ve conducted over 100 hours of in-depth mastermind sessions on crypto!

“We’re thrilled to have blown past our original mission of empowering 100,000 real estate investors with top-notch training, game-changing insights, and expert guidance that supercharges profits, amplifies success, and makes life undeniably better and more rewarding,” said Patrick Riddle, Awesomely’s founder. “The best part? We get to keep making an impact, helping even more amazing people every single day. Surpassing 200,000 happy customers, it’s full steam ahead to helping 300,000+ people live more Awesomely!”

Here’s the inside scoop on why we stand out from the crowd — there’s nothing shady or scammy happening here. Take this for example: Our training program partners openly share their biggest blunders, colossal mistakes, and terrifying failures in every one of our courses. Why? Because we’re dedicated to sparing you from making the same missteps we did.

Does that sound like something a scam artist would do? Definitely not. Sounds more like a huge sigh of relief… and a high-five from our customers since we’re up front about it.

But hold on, there’s more! Our own team at Awesomely isn’t shy about rolling up their sleeves and sharing their own tough lessons from their goofs. And let’s just say, they’ve had their fair share of epic flops. But here’s the thing: It’s all for the benefit of our amazing customers. So yes, we’re transparent, and we’ll tell you the whole story.

Scam? Not ‘round these parts at Awesomely.

Imagine this incredible journey…

What started as a small team of just 2 folks has grown into a powerhouse of over 40 experts across the globe. From the heart of the U.S. to the vibrant Philippines, and even the bustling streets of Dubai, we’ve built something truly remarkable.

If we were just a bunch of scammy scammersons, do you think we could have achieved all that? Uh, that would be no.

Still not convinced? How about some recognition from the big boys? That’s right — 3 times, in 2022, 2023, and 2024, Awesomely (formerly Awesome REI) made it onto the prestigious Inc. 5000 list of the fastest-growing companies in the U.S. How? Well, we’ve stayed true to our mission: to inspire, empower, and equip people to live their best lives. Providing expert knowledge, top-tier training, and invaluable insights, we help boost profits, improve outcomes, and make life not just easier, but also richer and more fulfilling.

Each day, we work hard to be leaders in positivity, driven by our core values and vision. We’ve cultivated a team culture so strong and supportive, it might just make a salad look unhealthy in comparison. 😉 And let’s not forget the deep gratitude we have for the opportunity to truly make an impact in people’s lives.

“Our organization and customers have an epic legacy of success,” said JP Moses, Awesomely’s president and director of awesome. “It’s this legacy that fuels our momentum today and lights the path to even greater achievements ahead as we venture beyond real estate investing into new frontiers of awesomeness!”

We’ll spell it out: Awesomely is an honorable crew who simply wants to help customers achieve success.

Now then, who aren’t we?

Ok, we’ve got another bone to pick with that trashy company: pricing. Surely you’ve encountered sneaky pricing practices. You know the ones — hidden fees, surprise charges, and so much fine print it feels like you’re reading an ancient manuscript. But don’t worry, we’re flipping the script on all that nonsense. Our pricing? Crystal clear, no tricks or hidden catches. There’s no smoke and mirrors here — just straightforward, honest pricing.

Now, let’s revisit customer service for a moment. You’ve probably spent what feels like forever on hold, only to be met with a voice as warm and inviting as a cactus. Sound familiar? Well, at Awesomely, we’re changing the game. Our Support Heroes don’t just offer prompt, polite service — they’re next-level, blending kindness, expertise, and genuine care. Whether you’re dealing with a billing issue or just need some guidance through our programs, we’ve got your back with real, helpful support.

And, while others may charge extra for every little “special” feature, we’re all about offering value up front. We’ve got a wealth of free resources: insightful blog posts, our Daily Dose of Awesome emails packed with inspiration and actionable info, and a treasure chest of free downloadable tools like contracts, scripts, ads, and more.

And just to make sure you feel totally at ease, every program comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee. If you’re not satisfied, just let us know, and we’ll refund you in full, no questions asked. Simple as that.

Before we wrap up, we want to share a few more real reviews from real customers — unsolicited. Sounds to us like integrity, transparency, and scam-free:

  • “I have invested in two training courses, and Awesomely presented them awesomely. All the crucial knowledge was included, warnings on risks, and instructions on how to avoid or minimize them were part of the course. Further due diligence on my part turned up similar results and suggestions as those presented in the courses. If you are looking for a way to generate additional income, I highly recommend Awesomely!” Richard F., Dec. 2024, 5 Stars BBB
  • “It does not matter what question I ask or issue I need addressed, Awesomely always responds promptly, efficiently and courteously. In a world where “customer service” seems to have lost much meaning, Awesomely stands out brightly.” Marcela C-G., Nov. 2024, 5 Stars Trustpilot
  • “Well, Well as it says, it’s Awesomely real for real. … There are many questions and challenges I encountered in moving forward, however, every time I contacted the support team it has been nothing but Awesomely, detailed explanation along with videos showing the step-by-step solution for my concerns. … I’m Fired up.” Ian Nia P., Dec. 2024, 5 Stars Google
