Justin Dupre - Investing

33 replies
Tried my hand at CPA and did ok but just did not have enough time and did not feel comfortable at all just dropping my career to pursue it.

Anyhow has anyone here tried his investment opportunity? Yes I know about the risk so please don't tell me how I am an idiot... I just want to know if anyone has had a good/bad experience working with Justin?

    I use his investment service, but the ROI is not that great and he doesn't send reports on time. I haven't seen him on Skype or received an email from him for over a week. I am considering ending the investment and getting my $xx,xxx back. I did receive some profits, about 3 payments since starting the investment arrangement in May/June last year.

    I am not saying it is a scam, but not receiving reports without having to chase him up 2-3 times each week, waiting 1 month after the investment is spent to get the payout and only getting a 30% ROI from PPC/Media Buying, then splitting it 50/50 is not the best use of my money in this industry. I will update this thread with my findings in a month or two. Has anyone else tried this service?

    I joined his forum and after a few months he shut it down -no news from him after that! He should refund those who paid to join his forum but no such news nor any sort of compensation..
    I think it is better not to ever engage his services anymore...

    I noticed Justin hasn't replied to this thread in a while. I took him up on his offer for an investing service: Investing Services | Super Affiliate Consulting

    I invested $50,000USD. He was supposed to pay the profit from the last round of investing ($3000USD) 2 weeks ago but I have not heard from him in 10 days and I have not been paid. I have sent him many emails and he does not respond. His blog, Twitter, Facebook page etc have not been updated in a long time. The only page that has been updated is his Instagram: Instagram So I know that he is not dead and not too busy to pay me and reply to my emails.

    I see that a previous investor had a similar problem with him when I search Google for "Justin Dupre scam" I found this page: http://www.scambook.com/report/view/285091/Justin-Dupre-Complaint-285091-for-$10,000.00

    Does anyone here know where Justin Dupre is and why he isn't responding to me?

    I finally heard back from Justin after giving him 24 hours before I was going to start legal action to recover my funds and got payment for the past round of profits via Paypal + extra to cover fees.

      Sounds like while he is giving you the run around he is taking your profits and tying it up in something else hoping you will be patient.

        It's possible. Since the agreement states that I don't get to audit the campaigns or see anything at all apart from an Excel sheet with numbers in certain fields I will never know the true performance. Maybe he is making $50,000 profit from the $50,000 but telling me its only $15,000 or something. I may never know.

        The thing is, if he is making multiple 6 figures per year why does he even need someone else's money? The offer never really made sense to me.

          Why would anyone drop $50K on an offer that doesn't make sense?

            Because of his reputation and the prospect of making 10%+ ROI per month. I am just not sure why he doesn't test with $50,000USD of his own money. Anyway, I received the profit and got two reports and let's see if I get future profit payments and reports on time.

            I may just end the investment and get the $50,000USD back as it is not worth the risk of losing it. It's a lot of cash to me.

    From what I've read, Justin works primarily with CPA marketing. That is a cut-throat business where you need lots of money to test and find winning campaigns. Once you land a winning campaign, you need more money to scale it to earn back your expenses and get in the black.

    Sounds great, right? Unfortunately, competitors are pretty good at spying and catching these winning campaigns. Then you end up starting back at zero once your campaign becomes unprofitable do to the competition.

    That said, I hope you see your investment back. CPA marketing is a tough business.

        Justin was due to pay me $8300 USD today and he just sent me this email:

        I'm having an emergency family issue. I will catch up with you next week.

        Thanks for your patience,

        Justin
        He owes me $50,000 for the initial investment, $8,300 for the profit for the previous round and over $5,000 profit from this round.

          Glad I started this thread about Justin Dupre hopefully this thread will come up in Google searches for others. If you click on the Investing tab on his webpage you now get a 404 file not found error.

          I'm just curious...but how did you come up with that $50,000 to begin with?

          I seriously hope it's not from an emergency fund or anything mega important because that is a significant amount of money to play with on one of the sketchiest offers I've ever seen.

        It sounds like a Pyramid scheme. I hope you get your money back but I would start looking into FTC complaints. He may think he is safe in Thailand but doubtful.

        I hope he'll explain and refunds when he comes back.
        I also received a lot of mailings from him about his Affguides. It now also seems down, it takes you to a blank directory so his main page is gone. Sounds like he took the money and ran!

      Sounds as if his campaign bombed or he just wanted the profits. I am guessing the former because I would not want to lose an investor if I was making money but who knows.

      JUSTIN DUPRE - Just wanted to get his name on here again for the search engines to find this thread! What a POS.

        Even if his campaigns bombed he surely wouldn't lose the whole $50,000 whilst sending reports that state that their was a profit, right?

        Building AffGuides.com then launching it and deleting it a few days after the launch does seem weird.

      I already posted my suggestion. Why are you bothering trying to contact him? It's obvious he lost your money or has no intention of paying it back.

        The FTC thing is a little complicated for me. I am not an American and I am not in the USA. I have a consumer protection organisation in my country (Australia) however.

          Sorry mate, I thought you were a USAian. I would get all your correspondence (emails, chat logs) with ip's and contact your agency that handles things like pyramid schemes.

          I would also start looking for other people who got scammed and contact them. Starting with the person that lodged that scam report posted in this thread.

          I remember seeing this dude on this and another forum. I think he lives in Thailand but is a Brit. If he is a Brit, I would also contact any British agencies that handle things like pyramid schemes. You never know, they may even revoke his passport. I know in the US they can do that if you broke major laws like pyramid schemes.

          I wouldn't allow him to get away with this. I'm not saying to spend your life going after him but I would spend some time consistently being a pain in his ass until he paid you back or landed in jail.

    Looks like this is adding up to over $100,000USD scammed from his victims.

    Justin Dupre, if you are reading this, I simply wish to get my capital and profits returned to me. There is no need for this to go to court. There is no need for a criminal investigation. People have gone to jail for a long time for scamming/steal a lot less money than this. Whatever your reason for avoiding us and refusing to return our money, it is simply not worth the possibility of jail time, surely?

    I have made a complaint to the Australian Federal Police, ASIC and ACCC. They will each investigate Justin Dupre the scammer. We will find him, bring him to Australia, prosecute him and jail him.

    Justin Dupre, it is a good time to come forward and return our money. "Pretty boys" who "model" and "date models" in Thailand don't have an easy time in prison.

      Good to hear. I wish you all the luck in finding this bum but posting the info here might not be the best idea in case he is following it.

      Why don't you file a complaint with the SEC and the FTC ? He used to display an address in the USA on his mails and website. There's also the BBB.
