The reason I say this is a scam is not because of the product (though I should mention that it didn't work for me, and that it is really only a modified method of loci system, with some bells and whistles attached), but because the money-back guarantee is not a money-back guarantee. Despite the website’s claim that:
Your reasons will simply be rejected as invalid, and your refund withheld. This is certainly my experience.
Additionally, if you dispute this on the forums, your account will be banned, and the post immediately deleted. Again, this is my experience.
Moreover, one should bear in mind that the “testimonials” in the forum are compulsory for the students to receive the next installment of their course. Thus, you should take everything said with a pinch of salt.
Again, sorry for the "one hit wonder", but it may well end up saving people ~£150.

Hi Paraselene
I have been researching School of Phenomenal Memory for the past few weeks and was about to commit to the course when I read their Terms and Conditions. Needless to say, I was quite shocked by the way many of the clauses have been drafted, especially that concerning refund where certain onerous conditions are attached, not to mention the very wide exclusion of liability. The entire Contract is drafted more like a disclaimer, and it begs the question, why would any right-minded person sign up to such an agreement, when it is clear that the only party that would benefit in the event of a legal dispute would be School of Phenomenal Memory?
All that is left for me to say, is thank you for drawing your experience (as the aggrieved party) to the public's attention - I am infinitely grateful!
All the best.
