Here are three stories I managed to find about this site and the so-called "miracle e-book" that it claims to promote written by Elena Petrova also known as Elena Solomon and Elena Gold. She claims that if you follow these 12 rules you will have happiness forever for life! Oh Really? Let's see what others have to say about it then! A. False Money Back Guarantee according to some (Mary, Los Angeles California United States of America, ripoffreport.com) Money Back Guarantee? Think again! You'll never get your money back! Not only did I not get my refund, Elena Solomon did not even bother to respond to any of my messages! Will you want the refund? Absolutely. There is no doubt in my mind. How do I know? I READ THE "BOOK"! Here is what you'll get for $49.95: about 65 pages of gibberish. Most of it feels like the author googled the word "attraction" and stuffed everything she could find into her book. This is definitely not a "how-to" manual, it is more like a listing of qualities that attractive people possess. Again, this information is available all over the net for FREE. For $49.95, you can get 2 or ever 3 solid 200+ page publications in your local bookstore. I am very disappointed by the book and by the false "Money Back Guarantee" promise. Note: I post this first one because it is written by a woman just like the author is so that one cannot say it is the bias of a man but it comes from the sound experience of a lady! Here is another one! B. Violating Agreement Terms-False Double Your Money Back Guarantee(Nathan, Catlett Virginia, United States Of America, ripoffreport.com) As of February 2006, 12 Simple Rules was offering a "super-guarantee" on their ebook, 12 Simple Rules for Success in Love, Life and Online Dating. The terms stated on their website were: "And here is my super-guarantee to you: after reading 12 Simple Rules and actively using them for only one year, you will reach most of the things on your list - and EXCEED your expectations on many of them - or I will give you DOUBLE the money that you have paid for this ebook. "Yes, you've understood it correctly: if after one year from your purchase you check your list (and you've been actively using the 12 Simple Rules in your life for this whole year) and you have NOT reached MOST of your goals and have NOT exceeded your expectations on MANY of them, simply write to me with the copy of your receipt and I will refund you DOUBLE PRICE of what you have paid." (This language has since been removed from the site, but I saved a copy of it.) I purchased the ebook on February 2,2006, for $49.95, while that language offering the super-guarantee was still on their website. On February 16,2007, I requested a $99.90 refund from 12 Simple Rules via their website. They responded, "Hello Nathan, We received the reply from the Clickbank. They are unable to issue the refund, as your order is more than twelve weeks old. This order is currently 391 days old. Please let us know if there is anything else we can help you with. Best regards, Elena Help Desk" The whole point of the super-guarantee was that I had to wait a full year before claiming it. So, it's a catch-22 to deny it due to the order being more than twelve weeks old. 12 Simple Rules is violating the terms of the agreement. Nathan Catlett, Virginia U.S.A. C. Other Issues (also from the-ripoffreport.com) This e-book and website violates ethics as well as the common sense of all! Elena Petrova says her results are repeatable-Oh really? If her results are repeatable then tell me how can they be repeatable for a nonwhite man on her site who sees a majority of the profiles on her site marked with one ethnicity on them? You see her site many times over portrays one ethnicity as a "role model" for happiness with its profiles and majority of testimonials one ethnic, no mixed ethnic articles and no advertisements of other races. If then that is the case then the "results" that Elena Petrova says are "repeatable" are only to be repeated for her one-ethnic target audience most of the time! Thus these repeatable results which are a majority of the times focused on a one-ethnic target audience are discriminating other audiences which may be nonethnic by putting them in a minor class or bracket when it comes to having such "repeatable results." We see this in the example of "testimonials" on the 12 simple rules site that promotes the e-book which can be deduced to be one-ethnic in nature in a majority of the cases. This proves that the "results" of this e-book are meant in a major way to be "one-ethnic" based just based on testimonial evidence alone on the 12 simple rules site! The book also makes stupid claims that Elena Petrova using her 12 rules can make any man fall in love with her between the ages of 18-60 in a minute. However this does not make sense since she is "married" and last time I checked married women are not supposed to go around making other men fall in love with them anyway! Also she borrows other ideas from other books and tries to resell and repackage them as she claims on the website by calling them "patterns" that she got after reading many books for this e-book that she wrote. The problem with this is that she is trying to sell this book as if it is the "miracle cure" the world has been waiting for. However it has a 60-day working effect. In other words if after 60 days you are dissatisfied you can return it because I guess on day 61 the "miracle cure" stops being the "miracle" you were looking for after all All who support this book and its imbalances are those who need a crutch in life because they are imbalanced themselves just like this e-book! Conclusion: I guess 12simplerules.com seems more like rules for those who are simply not sound in their senses and therefore senseless to try it!
