Complaint Review: South Coast Mission Orange County SCAM - Lake Forest California

South Coast Mission Orange County Marriage Counseling/Church of Scientology is the a scam. My ex girlfriend went to work for the Church of Scientology of Scientology last year, and I guess told the director (Kim Whitworth) of the Orange county chapter that I was a good canidate for there services. The director (Kim Whitworth) drove up to meet me right away, literly the next day. The meeting was mostly a high pressure sale. Her trying to build rapport and getting to know things about me. Once you tell them you have any personal problems of any sort, they magnify it and use it against you to make you feel terrible and that you need help from them. this when on at any and all conversations between me and the director Kim Whitworth at South Coast Mission Orange County Marriage Counseling/Church of Scientology. (And also please note nothing is private with them, there just a group of people with no ethics, Everything I told the director she shared with my ex girlfriend.) I didnt sign right up becuase of the high pressure sales tacktics and the reverse psychology they use against you, scared me away. A few months later my ex girlfriend which still works for South Coast Mission Orange County Marriage Counseling/Church of Scientology but told me she didnt anymore., called me to get back together, after about a week she told me she was having post trama from our past relationship lol. and think that we should take the $4500 relationship class that the church offered. so we met again with the very eager director Kim Whitworth of South Coast Mission Orange County Marriage Counseling/Church of Scientology. Which she continued to magnify any problems I told her about me. Wanting to help my family i signed up for the class. $3500 for life repair for me which they told me I needed. and $1500 for some class for my ex , I have no idea what that was, so i wrote them a check for $4500. Which Kim the director came readily over to pickup from my ex gf's apartment. I never heard from her again after that. About 2 weeks later. I found a reciept at my then gf's house for a commision of $300 from South Coast Mission Orange County Marriage Counseling/Church of Scientology. My then gf said she had no idea what it was. But what happend is they had paid her behind my back for signing me up. then later I found out she told me she was even given a gift of a amazon Kindle from South Coast Mission Orange County Marriage Counseling/Church of Scientology as a gift.. It was all done behind my back and the director of South Coast Mission Orange County Marriage Counseling/Church of Scientology knew the entire time and wrote the check to my gf herself, My ex lied about the commision so I had to trick the director into telling me the truth. I called and asked her" Hey Kim will my gf get a commision on that signup for me bcause shes having rough times.,and Kim told me on the phone "she gave it to her early because my gf was in bad shape and needed to pay her rent". I understand my gf was completely wrong and thats another subject. But a company touting marriage conceling but uses unethical practices like this is a scam. Later I found out the money they considered a donation and i couldnt get it back. I even met with someone from there company as they tried to act like they were going to help fix this.

I drove down there and hour away and was given illegable paper to sign away my rights and leave it up to them to review what happend and rienburse me if they saw fit. The letter was unreadable first of all. I asked the person I met how many people have they ever refunded, and he have me a crooked smile and said 1. I gave him his back paper and left.  I know theres alot online about these churches being a scam, but i tried it out in hopes of helping my family. And got scammed more than ever in life. South Coast Mission Orange County Marriage Counseling/Church of Scientology put me in a situation that it been hard to even catch up on my bills of this last year. Meanwhile they gave my ex $300 and a Kindle for leading me in. Of course she was long gone after that. This place is a scam stay far far away from them. They will do and say anything to get you to signup. and there is no return of your money. The stuff online about this places seems to be true now.

Not to mention my ex girlfriend was arrested for attempted bank robbery with a loaded gun back in ohio a few years ago ( its on google), and has been in trouble for bank fraud, and was never reformed or punished, and this is who South Coast Mission Orange County Marriage Counseling/Church of Scientology employes. But once again this is not about her, South Coast Mission Orange County Marriage Counseling/Church of Scientology director knew exactly what she was doing and avoided me at all costs after this. If you want people like this conseling you through marriage good luck!

Stay far away from South Coast Mission Orange County Marriage Counseling/Church of Scientology there a SCAM
