| | | I paid my tuition and joined Devschool on July, 2016. However, I only took one class and then dropped the program for 3 reasons:
1. The owner of Devschool, Jim Okelly, was very rude to me. He told me that this program was not for me and that I should go drop it after I asked him “can you tell me what I am learning right now and can I know what I will learn in the future?”
2. I think that Jim Okelly’s teaching method is very inefficient. Totally not worth the money. Also, I don’t like the fact that he is the only instructor and the owner. I have no place to complain if I am unsatisfied.
3. I think that the learning environment is very unprofessional at Devschool. You need to watch free videos online to learn by yourself, or you won’t understand what you are learning. Also, from my experience and opinion, you have no control over what you do.
Even though I only took 1 class, based on Devschool’s rules, I still paid them more than $2,000.
I chose Devschool because there were only good reviews online. Also, to make more people understand my situation, I left some negative reviews online to show my dis-satisfaction towards the program. After Devschool saw my negative reviews, Jim O’kelly immediately REVEALED MY PERSONAL INFORMATION online with very disrespectful words (I have screen shots for everything). And after one day, I received a THREATENING EMAIL from Jim O’kelly. The content is as follows:
“I am going to write a wonderful post about you and name you and put up your photo. Enjoy the shit storm you created you crackpot
I will make sure no one EVER accepts you into their school or gives you a job again you nutcase!
I will post everything.”
On August 11th I received another email from Jim Okelly, in the email, he told me that if I didn’t delete all of my negative reviews, that he would sue me, and if he sued me, that would influence my student Visa.
At that point I didn’t know what I should do anymore, so I borrowed money from my friend and hired a lawyer to communicate with him. After he received my lawyer’s negotiation email, on August 18th, he sent an email to my lawyer, and told him that he was preparing a website using my name and will put my personal information on it. And also “Enjoy trying to sue a BVI company with 0 US shareholders and no assets in the USA.”
Yes he is right, it’s hard to sue a BVI company, it’s not only hard to me, but also hard to everyone. I think this is something you should consider before you join Devschool.
I had so much hopes when I first choose Devschool and gave them my money, now look at me, I got personally attacked, threatened, disrespected; my information got intentionally revealed; they are building a website just to reveal my information; and Jim O’kelly will try to stop me from getting a job------all because I left some negative reviews. |
