Matt Brockman scam artist
-
I got sucked into his evil when I received a cold call after buying his breathing book on YouTube.
I had just retired and bought a trumpet with hopes of teaching myself with videos and books
After a Zoom call with heavy pressure my card was charged before I could read or discuss the terms.
Let me just say I was honest that I had no skill and they took my $6800 for one lesson.
Beware

Dispute the charge with your credit card company. This guy has a reputation as a known scammer. Your credit card company will investigate, based on the information you supply, so do an internet search for Matt Brockman before you contact them. I'd be surprised if they didn't reverse the charge in short order.

I did, they couldn't help because he faxed them an unreadable copy of his "contract". I then contacted our state consumer protection division. He did not answer their inquiry from October so they just dropped it telling me I could go to small claims court...more money out the door on a fixed income...no thanks. He even sent a debt collector after me for the second installment.

Do you know an attorney or someone in law enforcement who could advise you? Or perhaps you could do an internet search for consumer fraud help.

@J-Jericho
Don't know anyone in law, I was in medicine.
May try the Federal Trade Comission but I doubt they will do anything either. I guess with my loss I just want to make others aware of this disreputable person so no one else gets stung. -
that does it - I'm going to report this to the Better Business Bureau - all others are welcome to do the same - the more, the merrier
I sent a rather scathing review to the Better Business Bureau - will report any activity - God bless you all

Thank you, you are very kind to an old lady.

@robertwerntz Thanks for the link. I filed a report as well and included https://duckduckgo.com/?q=matt+brockman+trumpet+scam&t=newext&atb=v415-1&ia=web in the info. He should get an appropriate reward for his earned notoriety.

Unfortunately, if you signed his contract, legally, there is almost nothing you can do. He DOES give you what you paid for, it's just that it's not worth anything close to what you pay for if you look at the marketplace as a whole.
I appreciate you coming here and telling your story.

I want to thank you for your kindness and your assistance in getting the word out. I accept my mistake regarding this trap but if I can have a hand in stopping others from this it will be well worth it.
