🚨 Consumer Warning – Secured Investment Corp. / Lee Arnold System/COGO Nation/ COGO Capital 🚨
I paid $67,500 for their “Master Broker Program” after being told I could broker directly to their affiliate in California and keep my full fees. After payment, I was told that wasn’t true, I’d have to route deals through their coach and split fees. The training recordings they promised were also never delivered. They also told us we would have the opportunity to attend live auctions during our 4-day in-person training. When I scheduled my 4-day, I was told by Nicole that they don't know when the live auctions are, so they can't guarantee that. It was just another sales tactic in my opinion.
When I asked for a refund, they admitted in writing they’d pay me back only if I signed a release that gagged me, forced me to edit reviews to say I was “satisfied,” and waived my rights to ever bring future claims, even if new wrongdoing came to light.
This isn’t a refund. It’s coercion.
I’ve filed complaints with the BBB, DFPI, FTC, and the Attorneys General of California and Idaho. SIC is holding my money hostage while trying to sanitize their public record. They are earning interest on my money(that they never planned to give me) and plan to hold my funds indefinitely or until I sign their agreement.
⚠️ If you’re considering doing business with them: research lawsuits, read reviews carefully, and understand what you’re signing. Don’t let them silence you. Don't let them use their 3-day refund policy against you. The refund policy only covers products not services. Read carefully and request your money back.
Don't let them bully you. Contact an attorney. These people will stall and ignore you while they earn interest on your money that they never plan to give to you.
I recommend you record the live webinars yourself. They aren't going to give you a copy of the webinars as promised. The recordings I got was at least 5-10 years. They don't want you to have leverage because they say a lot in those classes. They even give out tax advice and aren't qualified to do so. They are the only ones who will have access to the live recordings and phone calls. RECORD THEM YOURSELF. CYOB.
You will also notice that they don't let the students network. They won't turn on the chat during the webinars. They don't want us talking to each other or exchange information. This is the only mentorship I've joined that doesn't allow the students to network.
***UPDATE: SIC has already offered me a refund of $67,500, and at one point even offered to return all $74,298.97 I paid in total, which demonstrates that they themselves recognize the legitimacy of my claims. If this were a purely contractual matter, they would not be offering any refund.
The problem is that SIC is conditioning any refund on illegal terms, including:
Gag clauses requiring me to edit or withdraw public reviews and formal complaints so they read as “resolved to all parties’ satisfaction.”
Broad waivers of rights under California Civil Code §1542, blocking me from pursuing future claims even if new wrongdoing comes to light.
Confidentiality clauses prohibiting me from disclosing the refund terms, amount, or negotiations, with repayment and damages threatened if they allege a breach.
These practices are not “contractual disputes.” They are unfair and deceptive acts that:
Violate the Consumer Review Fairness Act (15 U.S.C. §45b) by restricting honest consumer reviews.
Constitute unfair or deceptive acts or practices (UDAP) under both Idaho and California consumer protection statutes.
Demonstrate a pattern of coercion, holding consumer funds hostage unless customers agree to unlawful restrictions.
My formal complaint is that SIC is tying consumer refunds to illegal conditions. This is a business practice that I believe deserves regulatory scrutiny, not just dismissal as a private contract matter.

They have lied and cheated - definitely not Christians like they profess
Some Christians - they say they are but like everything else in their business it's total lies. I purchased Lee Arnold's program Income Notes and throughout the program Lee guarnteed help. Pure B.S. I also purchased their two upsells and one was a 30 minute 1:1 coaching call. I had my call with a River Owen and I poured my heart to him. He then advised me not to do Income Notes but instead Money Broker Blueprint because it's better. I am currently in a very dire financial situation facing bankruptcy literally within just a few weeks. The Income Notes talks about an option for someone who has no money can take advantage of and River said forget that do the Money Broker Blueprint. I started putting my time and efforts into that program as I trusted River and time I don't have. Then it turns out that I need to invest a minimum of 10% of what I want my income to be into any kind of marketing. So even if I want to make a lousy $25k I have to invest $2,500. Where am I going to get $2,500 when I don't even have two nickels to rub together. I have texted River several times, emailed him, emailed customer services at Secured Investments Corp and there's been no response after waiting two full business days. River has totally ghosted me even after he said contact him anytime and he'd help. Liar liar pants on fire River. Then I invested $127 for accountability and that equals 1 email a week for 4 weeks with one question I need to answer. How can they justify $127 for that? These people are greedy lying thieves who don't deliver a thing they say. Stay far away if you don't want to work with liars and who offer no support. It's a total loss.

I am very pleased with the time and…
I am very pleased with the time and attention Secured Investments Corp gives me each time I interface with them. The reps are calm and patient as they assist me through each reason I'm in contact with them. Tim Lum was the latest contact, and I would recommend him to handle all your investment inquires.

Awesome Professionalism!
It was a pleasure speaking and solving my issue with Tommi. When I left a message she called me right away and discussed my particular situation. We were able to find a solution and a way ahead which makes me worry free and ensures I continue to invest with this company. This morning I received the paperwork from Heather which she has also been very responsive and a pleasure as well. I am very happy with the results and I will definitely use them again and again!

Great company, great products and amazing staff
I have been investing with SIC since 2020. The ROI I have received from the circle of wealth fund 3 product has exceeded my expectations. Additionally, anytime I have ever had questions the staff has done a great job of responding quickly and making sure I’ve had my questions answered and they have been great about explain new opportunities. Recently I have been working with Tommi, she has an amazing wealth of knowledge and has been phenomenal to work with! I am extremely happy with this organization. I am also looking forward to taking advantage of some of the educational opportunities that this company offers!

As a Blue Collor Contractor
As a Blue Collor Contractor, over the past 25 years I have interacted with a few small Investor groups, but I was never exposed to the inner workings of Investments, I came across an infomercial from Lee Arnold regarding the Broker Training Course, which i joined, then I got to see the other platforms, such as the Wealth Funds 1,2,3 and the Note Purchasing ,I was able to see and read how much Due Diligence your Corp has vetted these Loan Packages,I am currently holding 2 Note Contracts, with great interest rate returns,where before ,I though only the High Income Bracket Investors could access,I am sharing this with all of my like minded friends,Great Job...
