Brutha, I find your comments very strong & very logical. Thanks for being a voice of truth in this thread.

I registered on this forum merely so I could comment on this post. This Ruslan M. character certainly seems to operate in total dishonesty. That is proven by his actions here in regards to refunds. Supposedly the refund policy was changed, but if you now go to the terms page, Brain power, Mnemonics, Memory strategies, Memory development, Improve your Memory, Memory skills, Memory Loss, Memorization techniques, Memory improvement, it certainly doesn't appear to be a 100% Satisfaction Guarantee. The following terms are listed under section 4 (riddled with grammatical mistakes):

You understand and agree to the following “money back guarantee” policy: If, after completing the program (Phenomenal Memory Course, 60 lessons), you are not satisfied with the quality of the product offered, you will be given a full refund of amounts paid. You agree and understand that the circumstances of your dissatisfaction have to be provided. You agree and understand that you have no claim on refund if any of the following conditions apply: You have not completed the Phenomenal Memory Course; You did not perform any program exercises, tests or activity; You did not inform a School of Phenomenal Memory representative of the issues that are concerning you and given School of Phenomenal Memory Corp. adequate time to correct these issues during the program; You violated any part of this agreement; or if you did not request a refund after completing the final lesson.

And even if you trusted someone that has time and time again shown his true character (whether it be in this thread or a post on his own website), this is found in the GMS manual:

If before signing a deal you get to know that your partner is fond of aquarium fish,
GMS® will help you get ready for the meeting. You can just read a book about
aquarium fish and memorize a hundred different species. The terms you use will assure
him that you have spent at least 10 years in the same hobby. This will create an illusion
of your sincerity. Your partner will sign the deal just because he could speak about his
hobby with you. You would present yourself as an excellent specialist in the sphere and
a very interesting person.

Now although I don't know if he (Ruslan M) actually wrote that, he certainly seems advocates his system, which includes you using it dishonestly as a selling point.

[Fake conversation with Ruslan]

Ruslan: "Yes, use my program, it will help you lie to customers so you can sell to them."
Customer: "Oh really, you wouldn't by chance use that on me, would you?"
Ruslan: "This isn't about me. Look at all the testimonials."
Customer: "Are you avoiding the question?"

In closing, to all those who are thinking of purchasing this system. Please note that the owner of the School of Phenomenal Memory clearly acts in a hostile and dishonest manner, and he is not anyone you should be giving your hard-earned $297. I, like many of you, am interested in a phenomenal memory, but if Ruslan M. has a key to it, I'll choose to find another door than the one he is charging taxes on.

There is no way Ruslan has the copyright to the ONLY way to improve your memory. If you believe he does, you might want to go start your own competing business, because he'd certainly send you a multitude of customers. There's a reason namebrands have competition. If one person can make it, someone else can do it as well. If Ruslan figured out a way to do it, I'm sure someone else knows how to do it too. And besides, if the other people selling it actually tell you their qualifications (like they have won World Memory Championships), they are probably doing so because they having nothing to hide. The fact that Ruslan M. avoids telling anyone his qualifications and contiually points everyone to supposed proof, that tells me that he's hiding something. And if he's not, why isn't he marketing his product by winning a few memory competitions himself? Seems like people interested in who won a World Memory Championship might be good potential customers. Oh wait, those people might be smart enough not to buy from him...
