I graduated from Authentic Bartending School in May and was lucky enough to find a job in the upper east side through CONTACTS (not their stupid job placement). I have been monitoring the reviews on this website for awhile because I could not understand how it got such positive reviews.
Ng218 could not have said it any better in his review. I had a similar and unpleasant experience from Troy Minor. His bar night is run unprofessionally and he wanted me to pay $450 to join Ambit Energy, which is a pyramid marketing scheme.
I found it weird how this board gets one or two reviews in a month or two. But when ng218 finally put a REAL truthful review, all of a sudden 4 new reviews from 4 NEW accounts popped up. This tells me that someone is trying to cover himself. It turns out its true. Troy, one of the directors of Authentic Bartending School, wrote those last 4 oh so positive reviews. One of the reviews even mentions that they got help with energy bills. What a horrible liar this guy is.
After looking more further into this I found something strange but not surprising. A lot of these users wrote 2 reviews in total: 1 review for Authentic Bartending School and 1 review for Ambit Energy. Check out reviews by: Truman4yah01, Motesir, and truman4ya. Mind you, these reviews are only in the first two pages of this business profile alone. Imagine how many other fake reviews for this school are on here.
I mean come on seriously. Truman4ya and Truman4ya01? Couldn't the guy have been a little more original? Truman4ya wrote a review on 4/29/10 about how he had an awesome experience at ABS. On 10/29/10 Truman4ya01 wrote a review about how he was skeptical at first but now is happy he went there. Congratulations Troy, you have earned your company a BBB complaint.
Not a true man for ya after all huh?
Oh and for the record, there are 57 reviews now. Won't be surprised if that number decreases by 3.
