Amanda Frances Serves Cease & Desist if you speak out about her courses
A couple of weeks ago, I shared my dissatisfaction of Amanda‘s courses on a Reddit post. I am a former student of Amanda‘s and I have purchased about three of her courses in the last five years. I admittedly had terrible discernment at the time of purchasing these courses; I was in a toxic abusive marriage at the time and I was desperate for a solution. I found Amanda on Instagram and her videos were uplifting, and I thought I would give her classes and courses as a try. I was pretty confused after I finished her first course. I kept waiting to get to the “good part.” To my disappointment, and to the sadness of my bank account, I found that the good part never came. Amanda‘s money mentality makeover course was merely a series of videos of her talking about herself and her life. There were perhaps a few moments where she shares her proprietary information, which is recycled law of attraction material. There is nothing unique or profound about what Amanda had to share. Everything I got from the course I had already learned from actual renowned authors and healers such as Wayne Dyer. Amanda simply took what the greats have given for free, packaged it in a horrible font and 2015 vibes, and added a $3000 price tag. When I made the Reddit post I mentioned above, the Reddit post had four or five little screenshots from the course to provide examples for my negative review. Most of her course is video. I would say about 95% of her course our recorded videos from 2015 or earlier. Again, I posted a few screenshots. There was minimal information being shared in those screenshots. The screenshots were supplemental to my review. Much like if you go to a restaurant and receive a horrible hamburger, you might post a picture of the hamburger online with your review. Anyways, I was served with a cease and assist email from Amanda Francis and her business manager, Deb, under an email titled legal team. There were no lawyers on this email. I was absolutely deceived by Amanda and her team. I was bullied into taking my course review down from Reddit. The cease and desist letter said if I did not delete my negative review with the few screenshots, that they would take me to court in Los Angeles, California, and they would ensure I would be financially responsible for any legal proceedings that come from it. Now, tell me why my”teacher” threatened me with the lawsuit when I expressed dissatisfaction with her product. Furthermore, she Weaponized, the fact that her client base is obviously struggling with money, and uses the fear of having to incur financial loss (a law suit in LA when I live in the east coast) as a result of speaking out against her products. Amanda Francis is the farthest thing from a teacher. Her manipulative, marketing tactics and apparently false reviews on her website are misleading at best. I have less complaints with the federal trade committee (FTC) am the California Attorney General. If you are also a victim of Amanda Francis, I encourage you to look into leaving reviews with the federal trade committee and California Attorney General. They might be the only one who can stop her unethical business practices.
